    The objective of this thesis was to determine the influence of parafunctional habits on malocclusions in schoolchildren from an educational institution in Lima, 2023. A quantitative, applied, observational, and cross-sectional design was used. The study evaluated 109 schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years, using a data collection sheet structured in three defined sections: the first part gathered sociodemographic characteristics, the second consisted of 21 questions to investigate the presence of parafunctional habits, which were then clinically verified, and the third part checked for the presence of malocclusions. It was observed that 14 schoolchildren (12.8%) with a lip sucking habit presented a sagittal plane malocclusion, 20% presented lip sucking and posterior crossbite, 13.4% presented lip sucking and class I malocclusion, and 23.5% presented digital sucking and onychophagia with anterior deep bite. The p-value was less than 0.05, accepting H1, indicating that there is an influence, and the Spearman Rho value was 0.241, showing a weak positive correlation. Conclusion: There is a significant influence of parafunctional habits on malocclusions in schoolchildren from an educational institution in Lima, 2023
