This document discusses the management of pernicious oral habits. It begins by defining oral habits and classifying them. Common oral habits discussed include non-nutritive sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, nail biting, lip habits, and bruxism. The etiology and effects of each habit are described. Management approaches aim to identify and address the underlying causes, use reminders or appliances to break the habit, and may involve counseling or orthodontic treatment to correct dental malocclusions resulting from prolonged habits. A multidisciplinary approach is often needed to successfully manage pernicious oral habits.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. INTRODUCTION
Habit Definition:
Habit can be defined as a fixed or constant practice
established by frequent repetition(Dorland1957).
A routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and
tend to occur unconsciously.
An acquired pattern of behavior that has become
almost involuntary as a result of frequent repetition.
Oral habits are learned patterns of muscular
contraction and have a very complex nature
(Mathewson1982).
4. INTRODUCTION
Bad oral habits are common in infantile
period and most of them are started and
finished spontaneously.
Bad Oral habits are a clear example of
environmental etiology of malocclusion.
Oral habits usually associated with anger,
hunger, sleep, tooth eruption and fear.
Some children display oral habits for
release of mental tension.
These habits can result in damage to
dento-alveolar structure.
5. CLASSIFICATION OF PERNICIOUS ORAL HABIT
Oral habits classification:
Earnest Klien
Intentional habits (meaningful)
Unintentional habits (empty)
Morris & Bohana
Pressure habits
Nonpressure habits
Biting habits
Sydney Finn
Noncompulsive
Compulsive
William James
Useful habits

habits
6. CLASSIFICATION OF PERNICIOUS ORAL HABITS
Morris & Bohana divided the oral habits to :
Pressure oral habits
Habit that apply direct pressure on tooth and its supporting structure(sucking
habits and tongue thrust )
Non_pressure oral habits
Habit that does not apply direct pressure on tooth and its supporting structure
e.g. mouth breathing
Biting habits
e.g. lip, pencil and nail biting
8. ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS OF PERNICIOUS ORAL
HABITS
stress
Level of
parent’s
education
negligence of
the parents
parental
awareness
emotional
disturbance
disharmonious
relationship
between parents
and children
9. NON-NUTRITIVE SUCKING HABIT
Sucking behaviors in infants & young children
are mainly derived from the physiologic need for
nutrients.
Current understanding of child development suggests
that sucking behaviors also arise because of
psychological needs.
Sucking behaviors are very common in babies and
young children as they give a feeling of security
Multiple studies had been reported the prevalence
and relationships between NNSH and occlusal
abnormalities. These studies found that NNSH were
associated with certain Malocclusions.
10. NON-NUTRITIVE SUCKING HABIT (NNSH)
78% of 4-year-old children had histories of NNSH with
about equal proportions of pacifier- and finger-sucking
habits.
( Kohler and Holst 1973)
Early studies on the prevalence of nonnutritive sucking
found that 70% to 90% of Danish children had some
history of nonnutritive sucking habits. ( Ravn JJ 1974)
62% of 3- to 5-year-old Swedish children had a pacifier
habit.
(Svedmyr B. 1979)
11. NON-NUTRITIVE SUCKING HABIT (NNSH)
88% of 4-year-old children had histories of nonnutritive
sucking, with 48% having continuing habits at the age of
4 years.
(Modeer T 1982)
The incidence of NNSH was 73% for children between
two and five years of age.
(Adair 1992)
12. NONNUTRITIVE SUCKING HABIT (NNSH)
Pacifier
Sucking has a nutritive significance in infants.
infants have a natural sucking instinct or urge. Sucking is
considered the first feeding reflex established
It is also a source of pleasure, comfort, and relaxation.
The use of pacifiers is considered socially normal and this has
led to a significant increase in its use.
Many parents introduce the use of pacifiers to babies to help
them settle.
If it is not stopped until 2 or 3 years of age , it will cause
permanent changes in dentition
and if it is used more than 5 years old , these effects would be
more sever
13. NONNUTRITIVE SUCKING HABIT (NNSH)
2) Thumb sucking
Thumb sucking which is the most common oral habit. It
has been described as a common childhood behavior,
manifestation, or habit that is considered normal up to the
age of 3 to 4 years.
Hand sucking is naturally developed in 89% of infants at
the second month and in 100% of them at the first year of
age. (Maguire, 2000; Rani, 1998)
The risks associated with thumb sucking are dependent
upon its frequency, intensity, and duration.
14. NONNUTRITIVE SUCKING HABIT (NNSH)
The incidence of thumb sucking had been reported from 13%
to 45% in some countries as shown in table(1).
The prevalence of thumb sucking is decreased as age
increases, and mostly it is stopped up to age of 4 years.
15. NON-NUTRITIVE SUCKING HABIT
Children with pacifier habit were significantly more likely to develop anterior
open bite, excessive overjet, and posterior crossbite in comparison with children
with no such history.
(Kohler and Holst, 1973)
Anterior open bite was associated with persistent sucking habits, and that Class II
canine relationship was associated with continued pacifier use.
(Ravn, 1974)
The side effects of finger sucking are: anterior open bite, increase overjet, lingual
inclination lower incisor and labial inclination of upper incisor, posterior cross bite,
compensatory tongue thrust and deep palate.
60% of children with a history of a sucking habit exhibited malocclusion
(maxillary protrusion of 4 mm or more, anterior open bite and/or
unilateral/bilateral crossbites), whereas only 16% of those with no habit had
malocclusion.
(Svedmyr, 1979)
18. TONGUE THRUST
It is forward positioning of the tongue at rest so that the lip is against
or between the anterior teeth.
Tongue plays an important role in many oral functions including
respiration, mastication, deglutition, and speech.
Tongue thrust is seen in 50% of normal 8 years old children.
The tongue thrust represents not a habit in the sense of learned
extraneous behavior, but a normal developmental stage and many
normal children do not complete the transition to adult swallowing
until they approach puberty. (1975, proffit)
Child who sucks his thumb apparently delays his transition toward
adult swallowing, and then is more likely to be labeled as a tongue
thruster in his early mixed dentition years. A change in the swallow
pattern will not occur until the sucking habit ceases.
19. TONGUE THRUST
Intra oral finding:
1. Tongue movements- irregular
2. Malocclusion
3. Mandibular proclination
4. Maxilla proclination with increase in overjet
5. Anterior open bite
During swallowing:
Forward positioning of the tongue between the
anterior teeth so that the tongue tip contacts the lower
lip.
During speech:
Fronting of the tongue between or against the anterior
dentition with the mandible hinged open.
At rest:
Movement of the tongue forward in the oral cavity with
the mandible hinged slightly open and the tongue tip
against or between the anterior teeth.
(1975, proffit)
20. TONGUE THRUST AND OPEN BITE
The resting tongue thrusting causes continuous pressure
in comparison to the pressure during swallowing or
speaking.
Light forces produced by an anteriorly positioned tongue
tip can impede eruption of incisors. (1975, proffit)
21. 4-MOUTH BREATHING HABIT.
Etiology of mouth breathing is
obstructed airway in the nose, these
maybe caused by allergy, atrophy
rhinitis, hot and dry weather or
polluted air.
The presence of anatomic disorders
such as bent nasal septum can also
obstruct the air way leading to
difficulty in breathing to the nose.
22. 4)MOUTH BREATHING HABIT .
Some people develop a habit of
breathing through their mouth instead
of their nose even after the nasal
obstruction clears. For some people
with sleep apnea it may become a
habit to sleep with their mouth open
to accommodate their need for
oxygen
Intra oral features in person with
mouth breathing habit that include
angle class 2 division1 occlusion
,narrow upper dental arch , crowded
teeth in the upper and lower arches ,
vertical growth disturbance,
inadequate lip seal , and low
positioned tongue that disturb
functions
23. (5) NAIL BITING. (ONYCHOPHAGIA )
Nail biting is defined as a chronic habit of biting nails,
commonly observed in both children and young adults.
These habit start after 3 to 4 years of age and is in its peak in
10 years of age.
The rates of NB in seven to 10-year-old children and during
adolescent are suggested being 20-33% and 45%.
Onychophagia is transference of thumb-sucking habit,
because this tends to be abandoned during the third year of
life, when onychophagia starts. Then onychophagia usually
replaced by the habit of lip “pinching” or other objects.

OR LIP

24. NAIL BITING (ONYCHOPHAGIA)
The exact etiology of onychophagia remains as
yet unclear. No relevant relationship was found
between nail biting and anxiety. Usually occurs
as a result of boredom or working on difficult
problems rather than anxiety.
A study on 5554 children (5-13 years old) in
Delhi indicated that the rate of finger and NB in
patients suffering TMJ pain and dysfunction
was about 24%. Therefore, it is recommended
to inquire about oral habit such as NB in all TMJ
pain and dysfunction.
it can cause TMJ dysfunction, small fractured at
the edge of incisors due to the biting pressure,
apical root resorption particularly for upper
central incisor, alveolar destruction,
25. (6) LIP SUCKING OR LIP CHEWING
lip-chewing is a common occurrence among
developmentaly disabled patients such as
Lesch- Nyhan syndrome,
x-linked genetic disorder of purine metabolism
cerebral palsy
autism
Epilepsy
These habit happens almost in all cases in inferior
lip and can cause the upper incisors to tip labially
and lower incisor to collapsed lingually
The prevalence of some form of Self Injures
Behavior approaches up to 40% in some society.
26. (7) BRUXISM
It is a common para function habit, occurring both
during sleep and wakefulness.
Bruxism with some individuals showing clenching
and others predominantly exhibiting teeth grinding.
The etiology not well known but it is agreed that it is
multifactorial (local/mechanical, psychological
,systemic /neurophysiological).
A number of problems can develop if bruxism
behavior is intense and continuous like tooth
mobility may lead to the spread of gingivitis, uneven
occlusal wear , abrasion, pulp exposure and TMJ
disturbances
27. PACIFIER HABIT MANAGEMENT
Most children stop their pacifier habit
at 2 to 3 years of age. if not, Pacifier
can be discontinued gradually or
completely withdrawn with
discussion and explanation to the
child.
28. MANAGEMENT OF THUMB SUCKING
Management should starts from 5to 6 years
4 different approached :
1. Counseling
2. Reminder therapy
3. Reward system
4. Appliance therapy
The final stage of treatment is use of orthodontic
treatment (fixed or removable).
(2012,Shahraki N)
29. MANAGEMENT OF THUMP SUCKING
Intra oral appliance:
1) Quad Helix
Patient with posterior cross bite as a reminder
(Cozza et al 2006)described the effectiveness
of the use the Quad-Helix and crip (Q-H/C) IN
growing subjects with thumb-sucking habits
and dento-skeletal open bites showed clinical
effectiveness in correcting the dental open bite
in 90% of patients and clinically significant
improvement in vertical skeletal relationships
because of downward rotation of the palatal
plane.
30. MANAGEMENT OF THUMB SUCKING
2) Palatal crip
digit-inhibiting appliance
significant closure of the dento-alveolar anterior open
bite after palatal crip therapy (Villa and Cisneros)
(Haryett et all) found that crips were effectives in
stopping thump-sucking habits when they were effective
worn for 1 year.
The crip act as :
1. Break the suction and force
of the digit on the anterior segement.
1. To remained the pt of his habit.
2. To make the habit non-pleasure.
31. MANAGEMENT OF THUMB SUCKING
3) Bluegrass Appliance
the appliance is indicated for those
children who have continued a thumb-
sucking habit which is affecting the
mixed and the permanent dentition
It is the least intrusive and easiest
appliance to wear and tolerate , the
initial reaction of the children's to the
appliance was positive and
enthusiastic, the child believed ha/she
had acquired a new toy with which to
play their tongues
32. MANAGEMENT OF THUMP SUCKING
4) Hybrid Habit Correcting Appliance
(HHCA)
It is remainder appliance.
This single appliance can be used to treat
both tongue thrusting as well as digit
sucking.
This appliance gives the flexibility to be
used along with the fixed appliance which
increases its efficiency as well as reduces
the appliance wear time. It can also be
used to correct posterior cross-bites.
33. MANAGEMANT OF THUMP SUCKING HABIT
The alternative treatment for anterior
skeletal open bite associated with thump
sucking during the mixed dentition with
removable mandibular acrylic occlusal
splint and spring-loaded block , these
modified appliance guides the vertical
force against the posterior teeth and the
alveolar process, the effective of the
appliance as a habit-breaking therapy is
highlighted. (Iscan et all) and Akkaya and
Hayder , suggested the use of a spring-
loaded bite-block for early correction of
skeletal open bite associates with thump
sucking
34. MANAGEMENT OF TONGUE THRUST
Tongue thrust alone
No treatment is needed.
Tongue thrust with speech problems
referred the child to speech therapist.
Tongue thrust with malocclusion
the dentist begin to treat either malocclusion OR tongue
thrust.
Tongue thrust with malocclusion and a speech problem
Modify the resting posture of the tongue.
Speech therapy certainly should not be delayed. hybrid habit
correction appliance (HHCA) , nance palatal arch appliance
and hawley appliance can be used to correction of open bite
and alignment of anterior teeth
35. MOUTH BREATHING MANAGEMENT
The best managed by using a multidisciplinary approach
involving pediatricians, physicians, dentists, and ear-nose-
throat (ENT) specialists. pediatricians, physicians, and
dentists
Dentists are the primary care providers who can diagnose
mouth breathing and sleep disorder problems; these patients
then should be referred to an ENT specialist for further
evaluation and treatment.
surgical removal of swollen tonsils and adenoids should be
the first line of treatment for individuals with upper airway
obstruction
then treatment should be provided by dentists, who can
correct facial and dental abnormalities with functional
appliances. Various functional appliances, such as Frankel II
and Herbst, have been used to open retrognathic mandibles,
36. NAIL BITING TREATMENT
Nail biting cannot be managed without
considering its co-morbidities,
antecedents and consequences.
Punishment and threat may not lead to
the decrease of NB frequency.
NB. Coating nails with unpleasant
materials or covering them is tried by
many parents, but it is usually ineffective.
There are some methods suggested for
controlling of NB such as chewing gum or
wearing a rubber piece on the wrist
For treatment NB,an appliance utilizing
stainle sssteel twisted round wire was
made to help the patient break this habit.
(o.marouane et all )
37. LIP HABIT MANAGMENT
Treatment objectives included the elimination of
lower lip sucking habit and reduction of the
increased overjet to improve function and facial
esthetics.
phase I orthodontic treatment with a lip bumper
appliance THEN phase II fixed orthodontic
therapy was indicated to align and level the dental
arches.
38. BRUXISM MANAEGMENT
1) ADJUCTIVE THERAPY:
Aimed at lowering emotional
2) elimination of oral pain and discomfort :
Pain associated with periodontal disease, lip and check
should be eliminated
3) Occlusal therapy :
Occlusal adjustments
Bite guard
39. CONCLUSION
The line of treatment for these habits includes removal
of the etiology, retraining exercises and use of
mechanical restraining appliances
The management by using the appliance is performed
when the child is already 6 years or more or when the
permanent teeth start to erupt
Differentiation between normal and abnormal pressure
oral habit is very important before intervention
Main key for success of intervention is the child
cooperation
For best result to the child, time of intervention must
be correct.

Prevalence of NNSH still high in Socities , for example danish children had 70 to 90 % history of NNSH. As shown in these slid and next slid
The incidence of NNSH was 73% for children between two and five years of age.
Pacifier is source of pleasure, comfort, and relaxation. The use of pacifier considered normal until the age of 3 years , if not stoped after 3 years it will affect on permanent dentition ,
pacifier use had significantly greater mean overjet, and higher prevalence of Class II primary canine and molar relationships
Thump sucking habit
it is a common childhood behavior, and it is considered normal up to 4 years. Common in infant , usually stop before 3 years , The risks associated with thumb sucking are dependent upon its frequency, intensity, and duration
The prevalence of thumb sucking is decreased as age increases, and mostly it is stopped up to age of 4. it is varies significantly from one population to another as shown in table(1).
60% of children with a history of a sucking habit exhibited malocclusion (maxillary protrusion of 4 mm or more, anterior open bite , unilateral/bilateral crossbites), whereas only 16% of those with no habit had malocclusion.
these maocclusion happen if the habit continous after the age of 4 years.
The clinical features of finger sucking are: anterior open bite, increase overjet, lingual inclination lower incisor and labial inclination of upper incisor, posterior cross bite, and deep palate
tongue thrust
It is forward positioning of the tongue at rest so that the lip is against or between the anterior teeth.
The tongue thrust represents not a habit in the sense of learned extraneous behavior, but a normal developmental stage and many normal children do not complete the transition to adult swallowing until they approach puberty
Read it
Movement of the tongue forward in the oral cavity with the mandible hinged slightly open and the tongue tip against or between the anterior teeth can led to impede eruption of incisor
Mouth breathing
That can be due to incompetent mandible or lip postures. In the age of 3 to 6 years the incompetent lips can be considered as normal. another etiology of mouth breathing is obstructed airway in the nose these maybe caused by allergy, atrophy rhinitis, or exisiting of anatomical disorders such as bent nasal septum can also obstruct the air way leading to difficulty in breathing to the nose.

Nail biting is defined as a chronic habit of biting nails, commonly observed in both children and young adults. It could be transference of thumb-sucking habit, then nail biting usually replaced by the habit of lip “pinching” or other objects, These habit start after 3 to 4 years of age and is in its peak in 10 years of age, This oral habit may lead to various medical and dental problems.
according to the etiological factor of nail biting , No relevant relationship was found between nail biting and anxiety. Usually occurs as a result of working on difficult problems rather than anxiety.
it can cause TMJ dysfunction, small fractured at the edge of incisors due to the biting pressure, apical root resorption particularly for upper central incisor, alveolar destruction,
Lip sucking or lip chewing : it is associated with disabled patients such as autism , and all cases almost happen in inferior lip
bruxism
It is a common para function habit, occurring both during sleep and wakefulness , The etiology not well known but it is agreed that it is multifactorial (/mechanical, psychological ,neurophysiological).
Management of pacifier habit
Read the slid
According to the thump sucking management we have 4 different approached as shown , and the appliance therapy is the final stage of treatment .
Quad helix is a reminder appliance . study by ( Haryett et al) found that crips were effectives in stopping thump-sucking habits when they were effective worn for 1 year. the use the Quad-Helix and crip (Q-H/C) IN growing subjects with thumb-sucking habits and dento-skeletal open bites showed clinical effectiveness in correcting the dental open bite in 90% of patients
Palatal crip
. A study by Villa and sneros showed significant closure of the dentoalveolar anterior open bite after palatal crip therapy . The crip act as :
Break the suction and force of the digit on the anterior segement.
To remained the patient of his habit.
To make the habit non-pleasure
Bluegrass Appliance
It is the least intrusive and easiest appliance to wear and tolerate , the initial reaction was positive , the child believed ha/she had acquired a new toy to play their tongues
Habried habit correction appliance
This appliance gives the flexibility to be used along with the fixed appliance which increases its efficiency as well as reduces the appliance wear time. It can also be used to correct posterior cross-bites and tongue thrusting
occlusal splint and spring-loaded block: these modified appliance guides the vertical force against the posterior teeth and the alveolar process, the effective of the appliance as a habit-breaking therapy is highlighted.
Tongue thrust with malocclusion and a speech problem.
Speech therapy certainly should not be delayed. hybrid habit correction appliance (HHCA) , nance palatal arch appliance can be used to correction of open bite and alignment of anterior teeth
treatment of mouth breathing
The best treatmet by using a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, physicians, dentists, and ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialists..
. Various functional appliances, such as Frankel II and Herbst, have been used to open retrognathic mandibles,
Nail biting treatment
Coating nails with unpleasant materials or covering them is used by many parents, but it is usually ineffective. For treatment NB,an appliance utilizing stainle sssteel twisted round wire was made to help the patient break this habit . It will work as phsical parier to prevent the child biting his nail
Lip habit management
To reduce the increasing of overjet , phase I orthodontic treatment with a lip bumper appliance THEN phase II fixed orthodontic therapy was indicated to align and level the dental arches
Bruxism treatment .
The puropse of treatment is ADJUCTIVE THERAPY , elimination of oral pain and discomfort and occlusal therapy )
Interocclusal appliances, are commonly used to prevent tooth wear caused by bruxism and heavy load, theses devices usually constructed of hard acrylic action as mouth guards or splints to cover either the maxillary or mandibular teeth
Conclusion
The line of treatment for these habits includes removal of the etiology, retraining exercises and use of mechanical restraining appliances. oral habit management can be performed with or without appliance. The non-appliance management can be performed through psychological approach like giving attention, advice, counseling, reminder system, reward system and medical approach such as medication provision for mouth breathing habit caused by infection or allergy and surgery to correct anatomical disorders and myofunctional therapy. The management by using the appliance is performed when the child is already 6 years or more or when the permanet teeth start to erupt. The oral habit case management needs to be performed in the right time and using the right method by considering several influencing factors such as duration, frequency, intensity, age, bone development, teeth and face development, occlusion type and general health.
