错牙合畸形的高患病率是一个世界性的公共卫生问题，也是口腔保健的第三大优先事项。许多初步研究报告了伊朗儿童错牙合畸形的患病率。综合起来，这些研究的结果使用荟萃分析是非常有价值的卫生政策制定。同样，本研究旨在确定伊朗儿童中不同类型错牙合畸形的患病率。使用相关的关键词，对国家和国际数据库进行了研究。在缩小检索策略并排除重复文献后，根据标题和摘要筛选剩余文献。为了提高检索灵敏度，对论文的参考文献列表进行了检查。为了识别未发表的文章和文件，与相关人员和研究中心进行了一系列谈判。最后，使用Cochran（Q）和I2检验确定研究之间的异质性指数。根据异质性的结果，随机效应模型被用来估计伊朗错牙合畸形的患病率。总共有25篇文章被纳入荟萃分析过程。据估计，在28，693名3-18岁的伊朗儿童中，牙齿咬合不正的患病率。I类、II类和III类错牙合的总患病率分别为54.6%（46.5-62.7）、24.7%（20.8-28.7）和6.01%（4-7.1）。I类、II类和III类错牙合的患病率在男孩中分别为44.6%（32.9-56.2）、21.5%（18.01-25.1）和4.5%（3.2-5.9），在女孩中分别为48.8%（36.8-60.8）、21.5%（16.9-25.1）和5.5%（3.9-7.1）。这项研究表明，伊朗儿童错牙合畸形的患病率很高。此外，结果表明，女孩的患病率较高。
The high prevalence of malocclusion is a public health problem in the world and the third priority in oral care. Numerous primary studies have presented reports on the prevalence of malocclusion among Iranian children. In combination, the results of these studies using meta-analysis are highly valuable for health policy-making. Similarly, this study aimed at determining the prevalence of different types of malocclusion among Iranian children. Using relevant keywords, national and international databases were explored. After narrowing down the search strategy and leaving out the duplicates, the remaining articles were screened based on titles and abstracts. To increase search sensitivity, reference lists of the papers were examined. To identify unpublished articles and documentations, a set of negotiations were done with the people involved and research centers. Finally, the heterogeneity index between the studies was determined using Cochran (Q) and I2 tests. According to the results of heterogeneity, the random effects model was used to estimate the prevalence of malocclusion in Iran. In total, 25 articles were included in the meta-analysis process. The prevalence of dental malocclusion was estimated in 28,693 Iranian children aged 3–18 years. The total prevalence of Class I, II, and III malocclusion was 54.6% (46.5–62.7), 24.7% (20.8–28.7), and 6.01% (4–7.1), respectively. The prevalence of Class I, II, and III malocclusion was 44.6% (32.9–56.2), 21.5% (18.01–25.1), and 4.5% (3.2–5.9) in boys and 48.8% (36.8–60.8), 21.5% (16.9–25.1), and 5.5% (3.9–7.1) in girls, respectively. This study showed a high prevalence of malocclusion among Iranian children. Also, the results indicated that the prevalence is higher in girls.
