Among the analyzed variables there were: methods of evaluation of crowding, teething type and degree of dental crowding. When analyzing the 2 methods those affected with severe discrepancy prevailed; however, most of those that were evaluated as slight discrepancy by the first method were without discrepancy when applying the second one.
