Thumb sucking has many negative orthodontic effects on children, including an open bite and narrow upper jaw. This can make it harder to breathe later in life. Our Engage Doctors want to help prevent your child’s thumb sucking habit and have great, positive ways to help!

If your child has lost a baby tooth early, they may need a space maintainer. If a baby tooth is lost early or has to be removed, the adjacent teeth may drift into that spot and prevent an adult tooth from being able to come in. If a space maintainer is not placed, it may make future orthodontics for your child much more difficult and sometimes more costly.
