Abstract

AbstractOne of the most common problems seen in dental practice is oral parafunctional habits. Thumb sucking and tongue thrusting habits are by far the most common ones encountered. These have adverse effects on the dentition and the orofacial structure. Habit breaking appliances can be used to stop these habits and give best results if used at an early stage. Here we present two cases, one each of digit sucking and tongue thrusting treated effectively with habit breaking appliance.
