Habit Breaking Appliance
Practicing good dental health from a young age ensures that the child maintains their teeth. A child's teeth need to be taken care of as soon as the first tooth breaks through. Breaking their bad habits and teaching them how to take care of their teeth should be part of their daily instruction.
There are many habits like thumb sucking, finger biting, nail biting, lip biting, mouth breathing, tongue thrusting etc.Habit breaking appliances are made by a dentist to combat the above mentioned habits in children. They can be either a fixed or removable type. If these habits are continued for a prolonged period of time that can result in gum disease, change in position of teeth and change in shape of the jaws. Whenever the habit is first noticed it is better to consult a dentist. We will be giving suggestions depending upon the habits.
