The total of 189 responses were collected through convenience sampling technique. For analysis, descriptive statistics using frequency, mean, percentage, and standard deviation was used. To examine association, chi-square test was used. Results: The result of this study showed that overall knowledge score was high among two-third (63.5%) of respondents and 36.5% had low level of knowledge. No significant association was found between level of knowledge and demographic characteristics. Conclusion: The study concluded that though majority of the respondents had high level of knowledge on orthodontic triage, majority possessed low knowledge on various aspects of the triage.
