Teeth malocclusion refers to the misalignment of teeth and improper occlusion of the upper and lower jaws when the mouth is closed, which can lead to both aesthetic and functional issues such as difficulties with chewing, biting, and speech. These challenges may further contribute to broader health concerns. One of the major contributing factors to malocclusion in children is the presence of certain oral habits. Research has established a strong association between habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing and various malocclusion patterns, including anterior open bite, proclination, crowding, and posterior crossbite. This review seeks to examine these three primary deleterious oral habits, their impact on malocclusion, and effective prevention strategies to address these habits in pediatric patients.
牙齿错颌是指当嘴巴闭合时牙齿排列不齐以及上下颌咬合不当，这会导致美观和功能方面的问题，比如咀嚼、咬合及言语困难。这些问题可能会进一步引发更广泛的健康问题。儿童错颌的一个主要促成因素是某些口腔习惯的存在。研究已经证实，诸如吮拇指、吐舌和口呼吸等习惯与各种错颌模式之间存在密切关联，这些错颌模式包括前牙开颌、牙齿前倾、牙列拥挤和后牙反颌。本综述旨在研究这三种主要的有害口腔习惯、它们对错颌的影响以及针对儿科患者解决这些习惯的有效预防策略。
