Oral habits are learned patterns of muscle contraction and have a very complex nature. Oral habits play a significant role in altering the position of the teeth, the inter-arch relationship, interfering with the normal growth of the jaws and the function of the orofacial musculature. Studying the prevalence of deleterious oral habits is very important because it allows us to devise realistic and effective strategies to annul them. These strategies, established through preventive and interceptive measures, should be put into practice as early as possible.
