According to INTERPOL, dental comparison is one of the most reliable primary means of identification. However, it requires adequate antemortem (AM) records to be compared with postmortem (PM) information. Orthodontics and Dentomaxillofacial Orthopedics (OOD) is a dental specialty that uses procedures and devices with periodic controls and quality imaging for its purposes. A scoping review is presented (“forensic”AND“identification”AND“orthodontics”) in the scientific literature, of cases in which orthodontic records have been successful used for forensic identification. Of 11,413 articles, 9 reports were included that responded to the search objective. Imaging records were the ones with the highest quality and availability. The AM orthodontic data is of high quality, but the scarcity of reports shows a tendency to be underestimated in the literature. Because OOD records are reliable, imaging backup should be promoted in all dental activities. It is recommended to report these cases as learning opportunities in the medical-legal field.
