Habit-Breaking Appliances

Habit-Breaking Appliances help guide proper oral development by addressing behaviors that can impact a child’s teeth and jaw alignment. Tongue cribs, a specialized orthodontic appliance for tongue thrusting, help retrain tongue posture to prevent bite issues and misalignment. For active children, custom-fit mouthguards for sports provide essential protection against dental injuries, reducing the risk of chipped or knocked-out teeth during contact sports like football and hockey. These appliances are designed to prevent long-term orthodontic problems and safeguard growing smiles. By addressing harmful habits early and protecting teeth from injury, children can maintain a healthy, well-aligned smile for life.
