Background:

Lower lip biting is a common oral habit with potential dental implications.
Understanding the relationship between lip biting and malocclusion is crucial for effective orthodontic treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the malocclusion associated with lower lip biting habits.
To discuss the orthodontic principles for correcting these malocclusions.
To evaluate treatment outcomes based on patient-specific factors.

Main Methods:

Analysis of patient cases with lower lip biting habits.
Identification of malocclusion types, specifically overjet.
Application of combined orthodontic treatments including lip bumpers and various appliances.

Main Results:

Prolonged lower lip biting habits consistently lead to overjet malocclusion.
The underlying mechanisms causing overjet malocclusion vary.
Combined orthodontic approaches yield the best correction results.

Conclusions:

Lower lip biting habits are a significant etiological factor for overjet malocclusion.
A personalized orthodontic approach, considering age and malocclusion type, is essential for successful treatment.
The combination of lip bumpers with other appliances offers an effective strategy for correcting these dental issues.
