Objective: To analyze the habits of digital sucking in early childhood and their consequences on occlusion. Method: Descriptive documentary, 15 articles published in PubMed, Scopus were reviewed. Conclusion: Digital sucking habits in early childhood, when they persist beyond the first years of life, can have a significant impact on dental occlusion and facial development, generating malocclusions such as open bite, crossbite and protrusion of the upper incisors. Early intervention is key to correcting these habits and preventing more serious dental complications that may require orthodontic treatment.
