As most of the etiologic factors of malocclusion are of genetic origin and thus cannot be prevented, environmental causative factors have become the focus for correction. Early interception of oral habits may be an important step in order to prevent occlusal disturbances in children. The identification of an abnormal habit and the assessment of its potential immediate and long-term effects on the dentition and potentially on the craniofacial complex should be made at an early stage. This paper focuses on the most common oral habits influencing dentofacial growth in childhood and management of these habits in the developing dentition.
由于错牙合畸形的大多数病因源于遗传，因而无法预防，环境致病因素已成为矫治的重点。早期阻断口腔习惯可能是预防儿童咬合紊乱的重要一步。应在早期识别异常习惯，并评估其对牙列以及可能对颅面复合体的潜在即刻和长期影响。本文重点关注影响儿童牙面生长的最常见口腔习惯以及在牙列发育过程中对这些习惯的处理。
