Thumb Sucking Applicances

Thumb or pacifier sucking is natural and common in children.  However, if these habits are prolonged past the first few years of life it may affect dental health.  The front teeth may not come in properly, or may come in tilted forward because of the pressure of the thumb or pacifier against the teeth.

Your dentist can recommend different techniques for easing your child away from this habit, which may include the use of appliances that interfere with sucking.
