Common Oral Habits
A Review of the Literature. Part I
There are harmful oral habits that may influence the development of malocclusions; although they are not life-threatening, their consequences constitute a public health problem. This literature review seeks to establish habits more commonly evaluated by dentists, identify their problems and provide practical guidance. A search was made of the literature on oral habits to find rapid treatment with the aim of limiting the damage.
