Objective: To analyze non-nutritive sucking habits in early childhood. Method: Descriptive documentary. Results: In a longitudinal study of girls from birth to 3 years of age, non-nutritive sucking habits were found to contribute significantly to the development of crossbite. Conclusion: Non-nutritive sucking habits in early childhood have a significant impact on children's oral health and quality of life. Evidence shows that these habits, when persisting beyond the first years of life, can lead to dental malocclusions and problems in masticatory function, underlining the importance of early interventions.
