description The aim of the study was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes among dental students. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and awareness. Google Forms was used for the distribution of questions. This is a questionnaire survey based on knowledge, attitude, and awareness regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes among dental students; 86% of them had awareness regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes, wherein the remaining 14% were not aware. Considering the limitations of the study groups, we can conclude that the knowledge, attitude, and awareness regarding the use of composites for orthodontic purposes among dental students were good. However, there is still a lack of knowledge in few perspectives which can be overcome with continuous dental education programs and lectures
