Abstract
Background:
Occlusion alterations can be associated to bad habits (such as thumb sucking, oral breathing, atypical swallowing and labial interposition) which can lead to functional anomalies.
Case Report:
Three cases are reported with the good results of myofunctional and orthodontic therapy.
Conclusion:
When there are bad habits, orthodontics should be combined with a myofunctional therapy.
