Dentomaxillary disorders have become the third most common pathology in the oral cavity, generally caused by poor habits. Objectives: To relate dentomaxillary disorders and oral habits in the dentition of students at IEA Salvador, 2017. Materials and Methods: This was an observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study. The sample consisted of 300 students aged 6 to 12 years from the Adventist Educational Institution Salvador, Lima 2017, who met the inclusion criteria. Dentomaxillary disorders were recorded in a clinical sheet, and oral habits were assessed through a survey answered by the parents. Results: The study found that dentomaxillary disorders were associated with non-nutritive sucking, mouth breathing, and onychophagia habits. It was also found that the atypical swallowing habit (0.11%), age (0.59%), gender (0.14%), and type of dentition (0.31%) were not associated with dentomaxillary disorders. Conclusions: The study concluded that age, gender, and type of dentition did not show any association with dentomaxillary disorders. Additionally, there was no relationship between intermaxillary dentomaxillary disorders and the atypical swallowing habit. However, there was a relationship between intermaxillary dentomaxillary disorders and the habits of non-nutritive sucking, onychophagia, and mouth breathing. Furthermore, a significant association was found between intramaxillary disorders and the habits of non-nutritive sucking, onychophagia, mouth breathing, and atypical swallowing.
