One of the most critical kids habit is THUMB SUCKING.. pacifier also can has similar effect of thumb sucking.
This may lead the anterior teeth not to touch eachother + forward step of upper anterior teeth (bunny effect)
The treatment is to avoid this and try phsycologically to make the child stop it by themselves or by asking orthodontist for other conservative (no appliances)ways until 6 years old.
If the child continue doing this habit after age of 6 then parents should visit an orthodontist to make the (palatal crip) appliance as shown in the photo to force the child to stop that harmful habit
Wait us in next habits)))

When my patients are worried about showing metal braces :)

Never lose hope, there is always a way to solve the problem. Just be patient and step by step you will get what you want

Many orthodontists face the issue of patient compliance. Sometimes patients dont follow the advice, or do it half-way or even just in get the instructions completely wrong.
All that can affect the treatment result and lead to disappointment. We all know how frustrating it is for any patient (and actually for his orthodontist too) to discover that after the successful ortho treatment their perfect smile gets crooked again bc they did not wear retainers, for example. Or - another example - when a patient with bruxism doesnt wear nightguard for some reason. But i truly believe that this issue can be solved by paying enough attention to educating the patient and explaining the consequences .
The patient has full right to understand everything and make informed decisions, it also makes them (even the youngest ones) more responsible. Doctor should explain everything in detail and show to the patient what for this or that action is needed - that will lead to better compliance and better outcome. So in my work i really like to work with a patient as one team- its the best approach and helps everyone in the process.
