At the time of orthodontic treatment, dental conditions are evaluated in terms of aesthetics and function but not beyond these two parameters. Since there is an interconnection between different systems of the body, an altered dental and skeletal relationship could generate disorders that could manifest in distant organs from the oral cavity. Malocclusion of teeth can be related to psychosocial alterations, bullying, cardiac problems, headaches, ocular and hearing disorders, vocal cords, gastrointestinal system, infections caused by Helicobacter Pylori, breathing, posture and anomalies of the stomatognathic system. The purpose of this article is to identify how some malocclusions and dental anomalies affect different parts of the body, causing symptoms and clinical signs that compromise the health of patients where the main etiological factor is in the mouth
