“…Most of the subjects appear to have relatively low knowledge regarding bad habits that can cause malocclusion, such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing. This result shows an alignment with findings from Soni et al 14 Malocclusion is known to give rise to health and psychosocial issues, such as disturbance of mastication process, temporomandibular joint disorder, body image dissatisfaction, and lack of self-esteem. In this research, most subjects already realized the effect of malocclusion on facial appearance, consistent with reports from Imani et al 6 and Soni et al 14 On the other hand, health issues related to malocclusion were less known by the subjects.…”

Early detection of orthodontic disorders is essential in motivating patients to intervene prior to long-term complications when the disorders are not recognized. The aim of this study is to determine and evaluate the knowledge and attitude of general dentists and non-orthodontic specialists towards early orthodontic treatment. Materials and Method: A total of 240 dentists and other specialists than orthodontists participated in the study. A questionnaire consisting of 3 domains having 17 items was circulated using Google forms. The responses were collected further coded and analysed to assess the knowledge and attitude scores. Data was entered in SPSS (v.21.0) and statistical analysis was performed. (p<0.05) Result: A total of 122 general dentists and 122 non-orthodontic specialists responded to the questionnaire. The results showed that the non-orthodontic specialist had a higher mean knowledge score of 7.2 as compared to general dentists (6.1). Furthermore, both the study participants had a positive strong attitude towards improving their knowledge in early orthodontic treatment.

Some studies have reported about adequate relationship between mothers' knowledge and children's oral health status. Malocclusion is one of the major health issues after dental caries and periodontal disease which can worsen the oral health-related quality of life. Promoting dental health among mothers is a way to improve oral health since dental services are limited during the pandemic of COVID-19. The aim of this study is to analyze the knowledge about malocclusion between mothers in urban and rural areas. This cross-sectional study targeted mothers who live in Medan Anggrung district area as the urban group representative and Telagah village as the rural representative. They were asked based on the knowledge of malocclusion questionnaires including about the causes of malocclusion, the knowledge and awareness about malocclusion, knowledge about risk factors, and prevention of malocclusion. The level of knowledge assessment is based on Arikunto's which was categorized as high, moderate, and low. The difference analysis between the two-groups was based on Pearson Chi-square at significance level (p<0.05). The knowledge of malocclusion in the rural area was higher than those living in the urban area. There was a significant difference of malocclusion knowledge between mothers in the urban and rural (p=0.00). It seems that dental health promotion can improve mothers' knowledge about malocclusion which affects their children's oral health. However, a further study based on clinical examinations should be done to analysis mothers' behaviour in keeping their children's oral health.
