Habit Breaking Appliances
Habit Breaking Appliances
At Dental Oasis, we understand the importance of addressing detrimental oral habits in children to prevent long-term dental issues. Habit breaking appliances are specialized orthodontic devices designed to help children overcome harmful habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and prolonged pacifier use. These appliances play a crucial role in promoting healthy oral development and preventing malocclusions, open bites, and other alignment problems that might require more extensive orthodontic treatment later on.
Signs You Need Habit Breaking Appliances
Habit breaking appliances are recommended for children experiencing various detrimental oral habits, including:
- Thumb Sucking: A common habit that can lead to an open bite or misaligned teeth.
- Tongue Thrusting: A habit where the tongue pushes against the front teeth, potentially causing an open bite or other alignment issues.
- Prolonged Pacifier Use: Can lead to similar issues as thumb sucking if not addressed early.
- Speech and Swallowing Problems: Habits like tongue thrusting can affect speech clarity and proper swallowing techniques.
If your child exhibits any of these habits, habit breaking appliances could be an effective solution.
Types of Habit Breaking Appliances
There are several types of habit breaking appliances, each designed to address specific habits:
Tongue Crib Appliances
These create a mechanical barrier to prevent tongue thrusting between the incisors.
Thumb Habit Appliances
Designed to discourage thumb sucking by making the habit uncomfortable or less enjoyable.
Hybrid Habit Correcting Appliances (HHCA)
These can address both tongue thrusting and thumb sucking simultaneously.
Bite Plates
Used to correct bite-related habits by altering the child’s bite.
