This study aimed to evaluate the agreement in the diagnosis of the facial typology of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, through lateral cephalometric measurements in the Ricketts Vert Index and the Facial Index. The sample consisted of 60 individuals of both sexes, over 18 years old, belonging to the postgraduate course in orthodontics of the FIP (Integrated Faculties of Patos - PB, Brazil), evaluated by means of direct anthropometry (Facial Morphological Index) and indirect anthropometry (Ricketts Vert Index). The results were statistically analyzed using the weighted Kappa coefficient. Poor agreement was obtained between the two methods in determining facial type. It was concluded that direct anthropometry, a method consolidated as an important resource in determining facial type from facial height and width, did not find agreement with the Ricketts Vert Index values.
