HABIT BREAKING APPLIANCE

                 It is normal for the children to have to unhealthy oral habits. Some of such habits include thumb sucking, nail biting, lip biting, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing etc. In order to control such routines, separate appliances are designed and manufactured. These appliances are known as habit breaking appliances. These appliances can either be of removable or fixed type.
 
               The importance of these appliances can be estimated by the effect of the pernicious habits. If these habits are not controlled, they may lead to periodontal diseases, change in the shape of jaws & change in the teeth position.

               The thumb- or finger-sucking habit seems to relax and comfort babies and toddlers too, and it’s perfectly natural. Although thumb sucking is typically harmless in babies and toddlers, once children’s adult teeth start coming in, this habit could lead to serious oral problems and, during school years, continued thumb sucking can lead to social issues and teasing for your child. Certain habits among the children can result in the improper growth of the teeth.

Habit Appliance

A long-term habit such as sucking on a finger or thumb can be difficult to break. These habits past the age of 3 can have long term effects on the positioning of the teeth and surrounding bone. The purpose of the Habit Appliance is to help break a thumb or finger habit. It will, however, not prevent placement of the thumb or finger into the mouth, but it will not feel as comfortable. The appliance will work if you want to stop this habit and if parents help reinforce the treatment.

Home Instructions

• Please keep a diary/calendar of how many days you have gone without using your finger or thumb and bring this list to each visit. You may offer rewards to the child each week that goes by, increasing the reward value until the habit has stopped for one month. It takes one month to typically break a habit.
• The Habit Appliance fits on the roof of your mouth. It may have a tongue bead or other attachment that lies just behind your front teeth. There will be anchor bands cemented to the child’s back teeth. The design may vary according to your individual needs.
• You may have difficulty speaking at first, but as you practice (reading aloud, perhaps) it will become easier and easier.
• Clean your appliance daily with your toothbrush after each meal and before bedtime. If your appliance has an acrylic button, it is necessary to either floss under it or rinse with a warm salt-water mixture (1 tsp. salt to 1/2 cup water).
• Remember to avoid sticky candies such as starbursts and hard substances such as ice, to avoid loosening or breaking the appliance.

Mouth Breathing

It is quite common for parents to be unaware of whether their children chronically breathe through their mouth during sleep, or even the day time.

While it is normal for children to breathe through their mouth when they have a cold, chronic mouth breathing contributes to abnormal facial growth and dental development and tooth crowding.  It also leads to poor sleep due to obstructed upper airways, and this sleep can adversely affect their growth and academic performance.

Mouth breathing is usually treatable if appropriate therapy begins early. Untreated mouth breathing leads to underdeveloped jaws and reduced tongue and airway space which will ultimately leads to Obstructive Sleep Apnoea later in life.

As dental professionals, we are well positioned to assess for mouth breathing symptoms. By working with well informed medical colleagues to treat mouth breathing early, many of the adverse problems can be reduced or avoided.

Signs of mouth breathing we assess for

·         Dry lips

·         Open mouth posture

·         Dry mouth with inflamed gums and increased risk of decay

·         Increasingly long and narrow face

·         Narrow high vaulted palate

·         Crowded teeth or lack of spacing between baby teeth

·         Enlarged tonsils

·         Allergic shiners– dark circles under the eyes

·         Forward head posture

It is generally said that children lacking parental care, love and affection resort to this habit. Thus the parents should provide the child with adequate love and affection. Also the child’s attention be diverted to other things as games and toys. The dentist and the parents should together work to motivate the child to discontinue the habit.

HABIT BREAKING APPLIANCE

           Thumb or finger sucking is a common problem with kids. It causes the upper front teeth to flare and the lower front teeth to tilt inside. This can lead to narrowing of the jaw open bite and the child may also develop a tongue thrusting habit. 

Initially bitter tasting varnishes are applied to differ the child from finger sucking. If it does not help then a appliance is given which is similar to the tongue thrusting appliance.
