Many dental patients report perceived barriers that discourage them from seeking orthodontic treatment, even when clinical needs are present. In contemporary practice, barriers such as high cost, limited availability, or prolonged treatment may be less substantial than commonly assumed, yet patients continue to perceive them as significant. Furthermore, even individuals with no or only mild orthodontic needs may hold perceptions that influence the attitudes and decisions of others. This study assessed perceptions and perceived barriers toward orthodontic treatment among dental patients and examined their correlation with screening-based orthodontic treatment needs and socioeconomic status.
