Why it happens

            Kids suck their thumbs because it's comforting and calming. Your preschooler probably practiced this habit while she was still in the womb and perfected it as an infant.

Now she turns to her thumb when she's tired, scared, bored, sick, or trying to adjust to challenges such as starting daycare or preschool. She may also use her thumb to help her fall asleep at bedtime and to lull herself back to sleep when she wakes up in the middle of the night.

Let it go. 

           Punishing your preschooler or nagging her to get her thumb out of her mouth won't help because she probably doesn't even realize she's doing it. Methods such as putting an elastic bandage on her thumb will seem like unjust punishment, especially because she indulges in the habit for comfort and security. Plus, pressuring her to stop may intensify her desire to do it even more.

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.
