We studied normative and perceived treatment need with quality of life, self-esteem, and self-perception. We examined a population-based sample of 248 subjects aged 12 years. The normative aspect of orthodontic treatment was assessed by the DHC and the AC of the IOTN. OHRQoL was assessed using the CPQ11-14, GSE, and OASIS. We used multilevel multiple logistic regression models. Sex and quality of life did not influence children's perceptions.
