Sumario:Certain types of malocclusions are triggered by the presence of habits. Some habits can alter the shape and structure of the muscles, however; In most cases this is not the case, because there is a dynamic equilibrium between the forces that act on the stomatognathic apparatus, since they act in different directions with different potential and rhythm, reaching equilibrium by canceling each other. Digital suction is one of the most common oral habits that produce dentofacial anomalies in the vertical plane of space. Although the thumb suction is the most frequent, one or more fingers can be suctioned and its effect will depend on the position, intensity, frequency and duration of the suction, therefore, the malocclusion it causes is a consequence of the functional anomaly, which it requires treatment with physical agents and most likely combined with functional and mechanical devices active in the period of mixed dentition.
