Dental Malocclusion

Tongue thrusting and thumb sucking are the most commonly seen oral habits which act as the major etiological factors in the development of dental malocclusion. This case report describes a fixed habit correcting appliance,Hybrid Habit Correcting Appliance(HHCA), designed to eliminate these habits. This hybrid appliance is effective in less compliant patients and if desired can be used along with the fixed orthodontic appliance. Its components can act as mechanical restrainers and muscle retraining devices. It is also effective in cases with mild posterior crossbites.

Thumb Sucking

Deleterious oral habits, such as non-nutritive sucking or tongue thrusting, if not intercepted at an early stage can cause complex malocclusions. This manuscript describes a clinical case report of a successful interception of a severe anterior dental open bite caused by thumb sucking and tongue thrusting habits. The case involved a six-year-old female patient treated with the use of palatal spurs and maxillary removable crib followed by monitoring the development of dental occlusion. At the end of the interceptive phase acceptable results were achieved, showing the efficacy of the treatment undertaken as well the importance of an early intervention to remove harmful oral habits.

Background: Class II division 1 malocclusion characterized by mandibularretrognation, deep bite and increasement of overjet. Myofunctional appliance could modify the growth and developmental of mandibular at appropriate phase. The purpose of this case report was to present successful management of Class II division 1 by using bionator and removable appliance.Case Management: A 9 years old girl with upper teeth protrusion, crowding and affected the esthetical perception. The diagnosis was Class II division 1 with mandibular retrognation and upper incisor protrusion, upper and lower anterior crowding and palatal bite. Patient also had lip biting and thumb sucking habit. Bionator leads the mandibular moved forward and arch widening. Treatment planning were to reduce overjet by prognating mandibular and bad habit elimination. Followed by retracting the upper teeth and deep bite correction by using removable appliance.Conclusion: Patient profile became corrected in 10 weeks. Overjet reduced in by prognating the mandible, decreasing of palatal bite, molar relation become Class I and bad habit elimination. In 10 months, overjet and overbite were corrected.

Thumb Sucking

Oral habits in form of digit/thumb sucking are common phenomenon and part of childhood behavior. They are normally associated with oral pleasure, hunger, anxiety, and sometimes psychological disturbances. Chronic practice can cause major orthopedic alterations to the skeletal structures of the oral cavity and lower face. Aversive approaches in form of punitive therapy have been moderately effective. Modified bluegrass appliance is nonpunitive therapy to treat sucking habits. It acts as a habit reversal technique and installs positive reinforcement in children. Modified blue grass appliance proved to be very comfortable to patients and encourages neuromuscular stimulations.

Thumb Sucking

We present an uncommon case of a 3-year-old boy with a finger sucking habit who developed dystrophic calcification in his left thumb. Two years after excision, there was no recurrence, and the thumb retained full range of motion. We also discuss its probable pathogenesis and present a brief review of the literature about orthopedic complications in the hand due to this habit.
