Abstract
Background: Malocclusion is one of the developmental abnormalities of the dentoalveolar structures. One of the most abundant sources of healthcare for the general public is nursing students.
Objective: Assessment of knowledge, awareness, and attitude on malocclusion among nursing students.
Materials and methods: A survey using a cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to 100 nursing school students. The nursing school students were given a pre-structured, self-administered questionnaire with ten items to gauge their awareness, knowledge, and attitude regarding malocclusion.
Result: Just 21% of the 100 kids were prepared to receive orthodontic treatment in the future. The others believed that orthodontic treatment was not necessary given their careers or the culture in which they lived. Their awareness and attitude were mediocre.
Conclusion: The study's total sample population was somewhat aware of malocclusion and open to receiving orthodontic treatment.
