Habit Appliances
To deter the habit of thumb sucking, we offer a simple device called a thumb crib. The thumb crib is made up of semicircular stainless steel wires that fit directly behind the front teeth. They are fastened to the molars to secure the appliance in place. Often times, thumb cribs can stop thumb sucking habits within the first couple of months.
Patients may experience minor discomfort and modified speech for a couple of days. Also, sleep may be disturbed for the first couple of nights.
