Material and methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study in 140 children between 6 and 12 years old. Variables were studied: age, sex, presence and type of anomaly dentomaxilofacial, etiological factors and type of deforming habits. Summary measures were used as absolute frequencies and percentages.
Results: 89.3% of the children studied had anomalies dentomaxilofaciales, the teeth being the most frequent (73.6%). The most affected sex was female and the age group of 9-12 years. Dentofacial anomalies were more frequent incompetent lip closure, the transverse maxillary micrognathia, and the shoulder rotation increased. Deforming habits were detected in 71.4% of the children studied predominantly tongue thrust and combined habits.
