    Gorlin's syndrome is a relatively rare generalized disorder. Its diagnosis in childhood is usually through oral abnormalities. Some of the most frequent clinical features of this syndrome are discovered through radiographs commonly used in orthodontia. Thus, the orthodontist may be able to contribute to its diagnosis. The article shows three clinical cases that illustrate the role that the orthodontist may play in diagnosis of this syndrome.
