Background: This study was conducted to assess the Prevalence of orthodontic malocclusion among children of 10 to 15 years of age. Material and methods: A hundred individuals were enrolled in this research. On the day of the test, the experiment included all students from the chosen schools who were in the 10–15 age range. No student was included in the study if they were in any way impaired medically. No school-aged children were included in the study if they were receiving or had just finished orthodontic treatment. Results: The data collected was carefully processed and analyzed, and the outcomes are displayed according to the several criteria that were taken into account in the research. One hundred students in grades 9 through 12 took part in the research; girls made up 45% of the sample and boys 55%. A quarter of the participants were in the 10-year-old age bracket, 19% were in the 11-year-old bracket, 29% were in the 12-year-old bracket, 8% were in the 13-year-old bracket, 2% were in the 14-year-old bracket, and 17% were in the 15-year-old bracket. Conclusion: The present study indicates that the prevalence of malocclusion is relatively high. It is crucial to raise awareness at the school level, as primary prevention can be the most effective means of controlling this issue.
