Thumb Sucking

Thumb sucking can cause dental issues such as malocclusion (misaligned bite), changes in the shape of the roof of the mouth, and protrusion of the upper front teeth. It can also lead to problems with the proper growth and development of the jaw, causing the need for orthodontic treatment. These issues can be addressed by a pediatric dentist or orthodontist.
