Investigation of Parents' Awareness of Early Orthodontic Evaluation and Treatment in Paediatric Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.
The present study found a positive relationship between parents' education and monthly financial income and their knowledge of malocclusions for early orthodontic treatment. Conversely, there was a negative correlation between the number of children parents had and their awareness of malocclusions. The early identification of malocclusions allows orthodontic problems to be corrected with less complex treatment methods.
