Babies and small kids are prone to sucking their thumb.<\/span> Although it is common, it is a bad habit, especially if it continues after your child reaches the age of three years.<\/span> If left untreated, <\/span>thumb sucking<\/i><\/b> can disrupt the healthy formation of the dental arches. This is because the jaws of kids are soft and can quickly get misshapen, which may eventually result in an open bite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although breaking the thumb sucking habit is an uphill task, there\u2019s not much that can be done for patients who snore in their sleep. Luckily, there are several anti-snoring and <\/span>anti-thumb sucking appliances<\/i><\/b> specifically designed to help stop and prevent these issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
