Background: The study's objectives were to compare undergraduate dental and non-dental students' knowledge of orthodontic therapy. Material and methods: A survey using a cross-sectional design was carried out with 340 undergraduate students, both dental and non-dental. There were 169 non-dental students and 171 dental students in the sample. There were eight orthodontics-related knowledge questions in the questionnaire. After providing informed consent for their voluntary involvement in the study, each participant was given ten minutes to complete the questionnaire. The Chi square statistic was used to the acquired data to determine the difference between the two groups.
