During the habit appliance procedure, our skilled dental team will start by conducting a thorough examination of your child’s oral health and discussing their specific habits. Based on the evaluation, we will create a customized habit appliance that fits comfortably in your child’s mouth. The appliance may be removable or fixed, depending on the habit being addressed. Once the habit appliance is ready, we will carefully place it in your child’s mouth and provide instructions on how to use and care for it. It’s important to note that the success of the treatment relies on consistent wear and cooperation from your child. The habit appliance will serve as a gentle reminder and deterrent to engage in the targeted habit, gradually helping your child break the habit over time.

Initially, your child may experience some adjustment or discomfort as they get used to wearing the habit appliance. However, this discomfort typically subsides within a few days. It is essential to encourage and support your child throughout the process, as breaking a habit can require patience and perseverance. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress, make any necessary adjustments to the habit appliance, and provide ongoing guidance and support. With time and consistent use of the habit appliance, your child can expect to see positive changes in their oral habits and dental development.
