@nexus.ortho: This orthodontic appliance looks a little scary… but what does it actually do? 😳 A habit appliance is designed to help discourage persistent oral habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting that can affect the position of the teeth and bite. Depending on the design, it may use a tongue crib, wires, or small blunted spurs behind the front teeth to make the habit uncomfortable and remind the tongue or thumb to stay away. It may look intimidating, but the goal isn’t to hurt. It’s to help break the habit. 🦷 🎥 Video: @rieseyfbaby #Orthodontist #TongueThrust #ThumbSucking #NexusOrthodontics #LongIsland

This gave my daughter a speech impediment it took years to recover from. 10/10 would not recommend.

Parents that do this care more about appearance than the well-being of their child.

Absolutely not. My daughter had an issue and this was offered. There are other things that work before doing this.

I was a finger sucker as a child and this looks like absolute h3ll! 😳 The habit stops when the child is READY. This is uncalled for.
