Millions of individuals worldwide are suffering from orodental problems in spite most of them being preventable. Malocclusion is one of them. In a diverse and vast country like India, there exists a large variation in prevalence of malocclusion. This can be due to variations in ethnicity, nutritional status, religious beliefs, and dietary habits. Various studies have been conducted among Indian regional populations so far.
