Habit Breaking Appliances
Habit breaking appliances are specially designed dental devices used to stop harmful oral habits in children. At Scope Dental Clinics, these appliances help prevent long-term dental and jaw problems caused by habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, and nail biting.
What are Habit Breaking Appliances?
Habit breaking appliances are orthodontic devices designed to discourage harmful oral habits that affect dental development. These appliances gently guide the tongue, teeth, and jaws into proper positions while helping children naturally stop the habit.
Why are Habit Breaking Appliances Needed?
Habits like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting can lead to crooked teeth, open bite, speech issues, and jaw misalignment. Habit breaking appliances prevent these complications and support healthy dental growth.
Benefits of Habit Breaking Appliances
Habit breaking appliances help correct dental alignment, prevent future orthodontic problems, improve speech development, and promote proper jaw growth. Early intervention reduces the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later.
