Actions that are repetitive and being practiced automatically are called habits. Oral habits can be classified as normal or deleterious. Oral health education starts from footprints of awareness. Growing children require appropriate guidance for healthy growth and maintenance of their teeth, which makes the parent an active participant in the prevention and treatment of malocclusion and thus is majorly affected by their knowledge and attitude regarding various deleterious oral habits and habit breaking appliances.
To assess and compare awareness of deleterious oral habits and knowledge of habit breaking appliance, among parents at Alkharj Saudi Arabia.
Study assessed awareness of deleterious oral habits and knowledge of habit breaking appliances among parents in Alkharj, Saudi Arabia.
Majority of the parents were aware of different deleterious oral habits but not aware of the dimensions of interventions like types of appliances, duration of use, etc. without knowing mentioned facts, in future which leads to development of malocclusion which probably requires orthodontic, surgical or prosthetic intervention correcting the outcomes of oral deleterious habits.

评估和比较沙特阿拉伯阿尔卡尔吉的父母对有害口腔习惯的认识和破除习惯器具的知识。
研究评估了沙特阿拉伯阿尔卡尔吉父母对有害口腔习惯的认识和破除习惯器具的知识。
大多数父母都意识到不同的有害口腔习惯，但不知道干预措施的方面，如器具类型、使用时间等。如果不知道这些事实，将来可能会导致错颌畸形的发展，这可能需要正畸、手术或修复干预来纠正口腔有害习惯的后果。
