Oral habits, if persist beyond certain developmental age, can pose great harm to
the developing teeth, occlusion, and surrounding oral tissues. In the formative
years, almost all children engage in some non-nutritive sucking habits.
Clinicians, by proper differential diagnosis and thorough understanding of
natural growth and developmental processes, should take a decision for
intervening. This article describes case series reports of thumb sucking, finger
sucking, and tongue thrusting habits, which have been successfully treated by
both removable and fixed orthodontic appliances. The cases shown are ranging from
the age group of 9-19 years presenting combination of both mixed and permanent
dentition development. All cases show satisfactory correction of habits and
stable results.
