| Popis: | Deleterious habits like thumb sucking, tongue thrusting plays a major role in malocclusions, asymmetries and facial distortion. Over the years various appliances have been in use to prevent/ minimize these habits. Some of them are complicated and require lot of time in fabricating and are bulky to be worn. In cases like these it is worth to note that patient’s compliance is a must in routine delivery of these habit breaking appliances, especially removable habit breaking appliances. The following is one method which we have been using for many years in our clinical practices. This method was particularly proved to be useful in deciduous and mixed dentition, though aesthetically not pleasing but works well in majority of the cases. This appliance can also be combined in patients who are undergoing the active fixed appliance therapy. |
