Abstract

Dental braces installed in dental artisan and beauty salons are due to lack of awareness and knowledge of the community, especially school students about the indication of the use of dental braces and its consequences if used with improper purposes. One of the government’s efforts to improve dental health rates for school students is the holding of the oral healthcare program (UKGS) in school. However, the oral healthcare program has not been evenly implemented and it is rare to conduct outreach about the use of dental braces. The purpose of this study was to increase knowledge about the correct use of braces in students of SMPN 34 and SMPN 36 Medan. This research was a descriptive study using 118 student samples from SMPN 34 and SMPN 36 Medan. The results of this study showed that was 92.6% of male students and 84.4% of female students knew that braces function was to straighten teeth, 79.6% male students and 78.1% female students knew the purpose of installing braces was for health, and 92.6% of male students and 84.4% of female students have known that braces installation must be performed by an orthodontist. The conclusion of this study was the level of knowledge about the use of braces in students of SMPN 34 and SMPN 36 Medan was quite high.
