Dentomaxillary anomalies are alterations in the spatial relationships between teeth teeth and their maxillary bone basesthat in most cases “result from a relative discrepancy between the size of the teeth and the bones, regarding the analysisof the discrepancies, we can find that the teeth could be associated with the appearance of diastemas (in case thediscrepancy is positive), crowding (when the discrepancy has a negative value) or a discrepancy in tooth size, called adiscrepancy of Bolton. This review emphasizes the importance of including these measurements in the diagnosis inorder to avoid a result with a poor predictable future.
