Nowadays, many people are seeking orthodontic treatment to fulfill their need. They look for a good teeth arrangement so it will be more aesthetically favorable. But not all of people with malocclusion seek for orthodontic treatment. Some of them don’t realize that they have orthodontic problem, and some other feel they need orthodontic treatment but they can’t afford it.

Methods: 107 college student of Faculty of Dentistry Airlangga University were used as sample. Then they divided into two groups, 1st and 7th semester students. Both of the groups were given questionnaire about their knowledge of malocclusion and demand of orthodontic treatment. Then, they were asked to examine themselves using AC IOTN (aesthetic component IOTN), then researcher and orthodontist examine them. Result: There is a significant difference on knowledge of malocclusion between both groups, no significant difference on demand of orthodontic treatment between both groups, and no correlation between demand and AC IOTN in both groups. There is a significant difference in AC IOTN score examined by respondent, researcher and orthodontist.
