Summary
The oral health of the Indonesian people still requires serious attention. Basic Health Research conducted by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia showed that the percentage of the population who had dental and oral problems increased in 2013 from 25.9% to 57.6% in 2018 (Kemenkes, 2018). Various diseases and disorders of the teeth and mouth can interfere with appearance, phonetics, or mastication. One of the abnormalities in the arrangement of teeth is called malocclusion (Sasea et al, 2013). Malocclusion is a fairly large problem and ranks third among dental and oral problems after caries and periodontal disease, this problem must receive special attention from dentists (Choi et al, 2015). Malocclusion is a condition that deviates from normal occlusion including irregularities of the teeth in the jaw arch such as protrusion, malposition, and crowding of teeth (Goyal, 2012)
