Protruding upper teeth and dental gaps caused by parafunctional habits, such as tongue thrusting or thumb-sucking, were successfully corrected for this patient. A combination of orthopedic appliances and braces was used to neutralize these habits and restore proper bite function. Early intervention is key to preventing tooth fractures and ensuring healthy jaw development. If you notice your child has persistent habits like tongue thrusting or thumb-sucking, contact our office for a clinical evaluation to discuss how we can protect their dental development.
