Results: of the students examined 14,8 % presented facial proportion, 33,9 % showed a decrease in the lower third and 51,1 % in the lower third increased, adolescents with temporomandibular disorders prevailed 52,3 % with the lower third of the increased face predominating the association with this disorder, 24,2 % of them presented Moyers Class I Syndrome and 18,3 % Moyers Class II Syndrome related respectively to temporomandibular joint disorders, corrective treatment was most needed ( 47,4 %).
