Our child's addiction- a $7000 habit. The Orthodontist's plan of treatment for our son's teeth and jaw. Fixing the damage following r son's long term thumb sucking habit. A look at the treatment and costs.
Following several months of patiently waiting for our son's final baby teeth to fall out, the x-rays have now been taken and the orthodontists report has arrived. This is why we make thumb guards!
Thumb guards and finger guards can be worn by children for most activities. There will of course be some activities that may be a little harder to complete while wearing guards. Parents and carers will need to discern whether or not guards are appropriate for their child to wear at those times. Often this will depend upon the child's age and abilities. However, there are three activities where thumb guards should not be worn.
