Certain facial patterns are described in the literature as directly responsible for the involvement in vertical anterior malocclusions. However, how differences in facial patterns are associated with dental problems it is not yet elucidated. The aims of this study were to verify the correlation between the degree of overbite with the facial pattern, and with skeletal and dental factors; to investigate the frequency of deleterious habits according to the overbite; and to investigate the frequency and odds ratio of the types of overbite of patients with different facial patterns. The sample consisted of cephalometric radiographs of adults, with records on the presence or absence of deleterious habits. The sample was collected in different centers of orthodontic education in Brazil. The radiographic films were scanned and analyzed using the Dolphin Imaging 11.0 software and the results were obtained through a descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS 17.0 software. The overbite showed a weak correlation with the skeletal and dental factors, including the variable LPFH/LAFH, which determines facial pattern. The presence or absence of habits showed no statistical difference when compared to the overbite types. All facial patterns presented all sorts of overbite, but hyperdivergent patients showed a statistically significant higher frequency of cases with anterior open bite, compared to normodivergents and hypodivergent patients, as well as the odds ratio indicated a risk situation. It is assumed that there is a predisposition of other factors associated to anterior vertical problems, such as the presence of deleterious habits or imbalanced muscle forces in hyperdivergent patients, for a greater frequency of anterior open bite to be found in this facial pattern.
