Introduction: the etiology of malocclusions is related to genetic and environmental factors, and oral injurious habits are relevant in it; therefore, in a concept of integral health of children, we should count not only on the active preventive role of the dentist but also of the pediatrician.
Method: to create a practical clinical guide for pediatricians that will allow the systematic identification of non-physiological habits linked to malocclusions.
Result: the pediatrician with basic knowledge will be able to elaborate preventive check-ups during routine periodic check-ups.
Discussion: consider multidisciplinary team care, with emphasis on prevention, a point to which the entire health team should contribute.
Conclusions: we consider that the effects on growth and development caused by harmful oral habits/non-physiological functions will have greater or lesser repercussions depending on the age at which the habit begins. If we act early we will have more possibilities of modifying the growth pattern of the jaws and the development of the dental arches. Therefore, an early and systematic interrogation and functional examination is necessary to detect deviations and functional disorders in children, as well as to focus the treatments from multidisciplinary teams (dentist, pediatrician, speech therapist, otorhinolaryngologist, psychologist) and achieve excellent results.
