Many adolescent patients develop harmful habits that can dramatically affect their teeth and jaw growth. Common habits at this age include thumb, pacifier or finger sucking, tongue thrusting and nail biting. Habit appliances are usually fixed or bonded to the upper teeth over a 9-12 month period and are very effective in eliminating these harmful habits. Once the habit has been stopped the appliance is removed and followed b y a removable retainer to stabilize the teeth and prevent reoccurrence of the habit.
