    Objective: analyze the relationship between anxiety to dental treatment and the need for selfperceived orthodontic treatment in adults aged 18 to 64 in Bellavista parish. Dental anxiety is an important barrier to starting treatments, especially orthodontic ones, which involve prolonged processes and aesthetic changes. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional analytical research was carried out based on 384 records from an anonymized database, provided by Mg. Ebingen Villavicencio obtained for her doctoral thesis “Barriers to access to oral health services and their social determination in adults aged 18-64 years in the Bellavista parish”, with a sample size calculated with the OpenEpi program, with a confidence level of 95%. It was expected to find a significant association between anxiety and the perception of orthodontic need, in addition to identifying differences by sex and age. The results will allow us to better understand the emotional barriers faced by patients and propose strategies to improve dental care in adults. Results: A high prevalence of anxiety about dental treatment was identified, particularly in women. Although no statistically significant association was found between anxiety and the perception of need for orthodontic treatment (p > 0.05), the data show a trend: the greater the orthodontic need, the greater the anxiety. Women with moderate or undeniable need for treatment had higher levels of anxiety.
