Habits like thumb sucking, finger sucking, mouth breathing, or tongue thrusting are common in infants but should naturally stop as they grow. If these habits continue past the age of 4 or 5, they can severely alter the growth of the jaw and the alignment of the teeth, leading to "open bites" and buck teeth.
We provide custom-made habit-breaking appliances that act as a physical reminder to the child. These gentle devices make the habit difficult or less enjoyable, helping the child to stop naturally without psychological stress.
