Abstract:
Lip sucking, in spite of being less frequent than other habits, can cause malocclusion, which in turn may favor the appearance of other new habits such as tongue thrust. The elimination of this habit can lead to the spontaneous correction of malocclusion. The case report of a three-year-old male with a lip sucking habit is presented. After eliminating the habit, the open bite that it had caused, corrected spontaneously.
