Opis

Oral habits may be a part of normal development; a symptom with deep rooted psychological basis or may be result of abnormal facial growth.These habits bring about harmful unbalanced pressure to bear upon immature highly malleable alveolar ridges,potential changes in position of teeth and occlusion which may become abnormal if the habits are continued for a long time.Hence for a successful management of habit, an understanding of dental implication and manifestation of habit should be pursed. One of the most valuable services that can be rendered as part of interceptive orthodontics is elimination of abnormal habits before they can cause any damage to developing dentition.
