Crowding is a common problem in mixed dentition due to tooth replacement, lack of space, parafunctional habits, among others. The objective of the present study was to compare the knowledge and practices between orthodontists, pediatric dentists and dental surgeons regarding the treatment of dental crowding in mixed dentition. 416 professionals were surveyed, divided into 207 dental surgeons, 77 pediatric dentists and 132 orthodontists. A virtual survey of 21 questions was carried out, with an instrument with adequate validity and reliability characteristics. The Chi Square test was used with a confidence level of 95%. Regarding the level of knowledge, there were significant differences between orthodontists, pediatric dentists and dental surgeons (p=0.002). In the opinion of the three groups of professionals about their practices, there were no differences regarding the best time to start treatment (p=0.108), technique used to perform dental stripping (p=0.087), aspect taken into account to start treatment (p=0.889), treatment used most frequently against crowding (p=0.712) and the type of appliance considered the most effective in crowding (p=0.151). A significantly higher level of knowledge about the treatment of dental crowding was observed in pediatric dentists, compared to orthodontists and dental surgeons. Similar practices were reported among the three groups of professionals regarding the treatment of crowding in mixed dentition.
