Kuesioner penelitian menggunakan Indikator Kebutuhan Perawatan Ortodonti (IKPO). Analisis data menggunakan SPSS versi 24,0. Analisis data yang digunakan yaitu uji validitas kuesioner dengan pearson korelasi, uji reliabilitas kuesioner dengan Alpha-cronbach, uji reliabilitas inter-observer dan intra-observer dengan Cohen Kappa Examiner, dan analisis bivariat dengan Mann Whiteney. Subjek penelitian di SMPN 11 Jakarta sebanyak 110 orang, yang terdiri dari perempuan 74 orang dan subjek laki-laki 36 orang. Subjek penelitian di SMPN 2 Tangerang sebanyak 147, yang terdiri dari perempuan 88 orang dan subjek laki-laki 59 orang.

The sampling technique used was multi-stage random cluster sampling to obtain the sampling locations and research subjects. The research questionnaire used was the Orthodontic Treatment Needs Indicator (IKPO). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.0. The data analysis was conducted sequentially: questionnaire validity test with Pearson correlation; questionnaire reliability test with Cronbach alpha; inter-observer and intra-observer reliability tests with Cohen Kappa Examiner; and bivariate analysis with Mann Whitney. Respondents at State Junior High School 11 Jakarta were 110 students, consisting of 74 female and 36 male; while at State Junior High School 2 South Tangerang, there were 147 students, consisting of 88 female and 59 male.
