orthodontic treatment with removable appliances based on PAR Index. The research was carried out on March-May
2011 with samples of patients dental models who had completed orthodontic treatment in the year 2008-2011 at the
Department of Ortodonsia RSGMP UNHAS. Sixty six pairs of dental models fulfilled the inclusion criteria and the

was assessment by weighted. This results showed the level of orthodontic treatment success include into the
category of "no change", but with a trend into the category of "a change "with a significant value ρ = 0.000 (ρ <
0.05). It was concluded that there was occlusion improvements in orthodontic treatment with removable appliance,
