We don’t just treat oral issues—we focus on building lifelong healthy habits.
Habit Breaking Appliance
Certain childhood habits like thumb sucking, lip biting, tongue thrusting, or nail biting may seem harmless at first - but when they continue beyond early years, they can cause serious dental and jaw problems. These habits can lead to crooked teeth, improper bite, speech issues, and even affect the overall growth of the jaw. At Oral Care Dental Clinic, we provide Habit Breaking Appliances to help children overcome such habits effectively. These appliances gently discourage harmful habits while guiding proper dental development. With early intervention, we ensure your child grows with a healthy smile, free from complications caused by persistent oral habits.
What is a Habit Breaking Appliance?
A habit breaking appliance is a special orthodontic device designed to stop detrimental oral habits. It can be removable or fixed, depending on the child’s needs and the severity of the habit.
Types of Habit Breaking Appliances:
- Thumb Sucking Appliances – Prevents the thumb from resting on the palate, breaking the sucking habit.
- Tongue Thrust Appliances – Guides the tongue to rest in the correct position during swallowing and speaking.
- Lip Biting Appliances – Stops repetitive biting or sucking of the lips that affect teeth alignment.
- Mouth Breathing Appliances – Helps redirect breathing through the nose, supporting healthier oral and facial development.
These appliances are safe, child-friendly, and customized to fit comfortably, making the transition smooth and effective.
