The participants had an average score of 14.68±8.21 in knowledge, 29.97±6.45 in attitude, and 32.16±7.04 in practice. Multiple regression analysis showed that the account type and education level had an effect on the scores of knowledge. The type of account type had an effect on the scores of parents’ beliefs. Father or mother, whether parents received orthodontic treatment affect parents’ behavior score.Conclusion Parents have inadequate knowledge in early prevention and treatment of malocclusion and were poor in the attitudes and behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the early prevention and treatment propaganda work in children’s parents so as to improve the children’s oral health.
