This patient had a thumb-sucking habit as a child, which led to the development of an open bite.
An open bite caused by thumb sucking can affect your smile, speech, and bite — but don’t worry, it can be corrected!
✅ Here’s how it can be treated:
• Habit-breaking appliances
• Tongue and myofunctional therapy
• Braces or clear aligners
• In some cases, jaw surgery (for severe skeletal cases)
🕒 Early intervention is key! If your child has a thumb-sucking habit or signs of an open bite, schedule a consultation today.
