De 196 niños que habían recibido lactancia materna de cualquier tipo (exclusiva o parcial) de 0 a 4 meses, de 4 a 6 meses o más de 6 meses de edad. Los que lactaron de 4 a 6 meses presentaron menor cantidad de hábitos bucales deformantes, los que lo hicieron de 0 a 4 meses presentaron la mayor cantidad de hábitos. La asociación de hábitos y la succión digital fueron los más frecuentes. El 64,80% de los niños examinados presentaron hábitos. De los 127 niños con hábitos el 62, 20% presentó maloclusiones.
