Abstract: An accurate estimation of both facial growth and the dentoalveolar dimension is key to successful treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze the relation between the Condylion–Gonion–Menton angle (CoGoMe^) and dentoalveolar heights in a population of patients from southern Italy. This retrospective study analyzed 270 cephalograms of 115 males (42.1%, mean age 15.5 ± 5.2 years) and 155 females (57.9%, mean age 15.6 ± 5.9 years). The facial divergency was evaluated with the Sella–Nasion and Gonion–Gnation angle (SN^GoGn), mandibular structure with the CoGoMe^, and dentoalveolar heights were assessed in four measurements: upper anterior (UADH), lower anterior (LADH), upper posterior (UPDH), and lower posterior (LPDH). Data were analyzed by means of Pearson’s correlation and linear regression model ( p < 0.05). All the dentoalveolar heights were strongly correlated among them ( p < 0.001). The UADH was correlated with the SN^GoGn (r = 0.145; p = 0.017), while the LPDH was correlated with the CoGoMe^ (r = −0.183; p = 0.003). Moreover, there was a positive association between the UADH and the SN^GoGn (B = 0.08; 95% CI: 0.014–0.144; p = 0.017), and a negative association between the CoGoMe^ and the LPDH (B = −0.098; 95% CI: −0.161–0.035; p = 0.003). Facial divergency and mandibular structure are associated with dentoalveolar heights.
