Ability to perform muscular activity and structural functions in the head and neck region of the individual without any problem is extremely critical in terms of vital, aesthetics and psychology. It has been reported in many studies that aberration of functions such as breathing, swallowing, chewing may cause malocclusion, acquired craniofacial disorder and various diseases. The cumulative effects of abnormal habits could result in an imbalance between the internal, external muscle forces and eventually may alter the normal development of the stomatognathic system. Unfortunately, the perceived importance of the issue is not enough due to difficulties in measuring and evaluating postural changes and dysfunctions. Basic orthodontic examinations are usually suggested onwards seven years of age. However, dysmorphic changes that result in malocclusion are often apparent years earlier. The diagnosis, treatment of dysfunctions are critical to prevent possible malocclusions and relapse after orthodontic treatment. This review aims to raise awareness for families, dentists, orthodontists, and other healthcare professionals for early diagnosis and treatment about oral functions that are effective in facial development and occlusal relationships in the light of current literature. The subject will be clarified under the topics of breastfeeding, airway obstruction, abnormal frenulum, mouth breathing, oral habits, swallowing, chewing.
