Popis: Background: To analyze craniofacial growth during adolescence from the ages of 12 to 21 years and its relation to late mandibular incisor crowding. Methods: The study included 61 orthodontically untreated subjects (49% males). Lateral cephalograms were used to assess the jaw growth and inclination of the incisors. Little’s Irregularity Index and the anterior mandibular dental arch depth of mandibular dentition were measured. Results: A reduction of the skeletal class angle (ANB) was observed in both genders, although it was significant only in males (η2=0.188; p=0.015). The growth of the mandible was more prominent compared to that of the maxilla, and it was more prominent in males than in females. The skeletal vertical dimension, however, demonstrated a significant reduction in both genders (η2=0.527-0.593, p
