Role of cephalometric analysis of hard tissues in the diagnosis of malocclusions

Objective: Conduct a literature review to understand how cephalometric hard tissue analysis contributes to the diagnosis and classification of malocclusions. Materials and Methods: A literature search was carried out in English and Spanish on the Pubmed, Scopus, Sciencedirect and Scielo platforms, as well as in graduate studies. Conclusions: Cephalometric hard tissue analysis is a fundamental tool in the field of modern orthodontics, as it not only contributes accurately to the diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions, but also strengthens an evidence-based approach, which allows orthodontists to obtain and offer more effective treatment plans, personalized and adapted to the needs of each patient.
