Survey On Awareness And Knowledge Of Orthodontic Treatment Among Young Population In The Suburbans Of Tiruvallur - A Questionnaire Survey
Main Article Content
Abstract
History of orthodontics dates back long ago where humans attempted correcting the teeth problems using gold alloys. Proper alignment of tooth has been an essential factor for functional, esthetics and overall oral health preservation. Many studies have been done in the past in assessing the knowledge and attitude of patients regarding orthodontic treatments. But the studies were limited based on the age, sex, geographic location and socioeconomic status of the study population. Some comparative studies have been conducted in assessing the knowledge of orthodontic treatment between dental and non dental graduates. Objective of this study is to assess the knowledge and awareness about various orthodontic treatment among non dental students residing in suburbans of Tiruvallur district.
