Correlation between Malocclusion, Oral Habits, and Socio-economic Level of Preschool Children

LOUIS J. P. CALISTI 1, M. MICHAEL COHEN 1, and MARTHA H. FALES 1

1 Brookline Health Department, Brookline, Massachusetts

An orthodontic survey was made on 491 perschool children who were grouped according to socio-economic level and Angle's classification of malocclusion.

No statistically significant relation was found to exist between socio-economic level and type of malocclusion. The relation between incidence of habits and of malocclusion was statistically significant. The positive correlation between incidence of habits and level of socio-economic strata was also significant. Contrary to prevailing information, 71 per cent of the children had no spaces between the anterior deciduous teeth.
