The study was done on a sample of 250 orthodontic patients (130 male,120 female ) aged between (18-30) years. The largest percentage of approvals was (61.9%) because of the patients' need to shorten the treatment time; on the other hand, the largest percentage of refusals was (41.8%) because of the patients' fear of surgical intervention.
