Described in the paper is the possibility of using the specific anomalies of tooth rows in personality identification. The existing classifications of tooth-row anomalies are elucidated; published data on epidemiology of dentomaxillary anomalies in the Russian Federation and on jaw models are analyzed. Digital photos of tooth rows were used. The possible use of orthodontic methods as applicable to investigating the tooth-row anomalies is contemplated for personality identification.
