Keywords:

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 490 adolescents aged 12-14 years, who studied at "Orlando Carvajal Lines" Junior High school, and who were assisted in the Estomatology Department of "Julián Grimau García" University Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out in the period of March, 2015 to the same month of 2016, in order to identify the necessity of orthodontic treatment in them through the dental aesthetics index. Most of the adolescents with malocclusions corresponded to the age groups 13 and 14 (with 34.0%, respectively) in this case material, without significant differences as for the sex, and the main components of the dental aesthetics index were the dental crowding (25.5%), the spacing in the incisive segments (19.4%) and the diastema (15.9%). It was demonstrated that the larger quantity in students didn't need any orthodontic treatment or they just required a minor treatment, since 51.6% of the series presented normal or light malocclusion.
