Aim: To test the associations of malocclusion with clinical and socioeconomic variables in Brazilian adolescents aged 15 to 19 years.
Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional observational study, which used data from the final report of the 2015 State Oral Health Survey.
Results: Non-white adolescents, low educational level, with fewer visits to the dentist, and teeth extracted due to caries, had, respectively, 1.32, 1.32, 2.02 and 1.63, and 1.40-fold greater chances of presenting malocclusion.
Conclusion: Malocclusion is a public health problem and is influenced by socioeconomic determinants. Therefore, conditions for orthodontic treatment must be guaranteed for those who are more socially vulnerable and, consequently are more likely to suffer from oral health problems.
