" A number of studies have demonstrated that breastfeeding has long-lasting health effects throughout life, including dental development and susceptibility to oral diseases. Now, research conducted at the University of Adelaide has provided new evidence that breastfeeding may protect against malocclusions in children.
The study considered breastfeeding and orthodontic data on 1,303 5-year-old children in order to assess whether exclusive breastfeeding offers a protective effect against primary dentition malocclusions. "
