Malocclusion in 12–13-years old Polish adolescents – an analysis across a spectrum of parental, birth, and developmental factors
1. Malocclusion is highly prevalent among Polish adolescents. 2. Factors associated to malocclusion in adolescents are: parents' level of education, frequency of dental appointments, short tongue frenulum, number of permanent teeth erupted and body height. 3. Gender, body mass index, feeding practices in infancy, pregnancy and birth condition (Apgar, method of delivery and mother smoking while being pregnant) have no association to malocclusion in 12-13 years old adolescents.
