I am 26 and still suck my thumb. Would it be dumb to get braces?!

Braces won't help you if you don't stop sucking your thumb!. If you carry on doing it, as soon as the braces are off, the habit will make your front teeth start coming forward again!. If you've tried to stop but can't, you could ask an orthodontist about getting a "habit appliance" which is designed to fit into the top of your mouth where your thumb would normally go, to remind you to stop putting it there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe try picking up another habit such as chewing gum, it may take your mind off from sucking your thumb!. also, it you really want to stop, the dentist can make you an appliance you wear in you mouth so everythime you place your thumb in your mouth, it will prevent you from sucking your thumb!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eventually you're going to have to get braces as that's the only way to fix your teeth!.

However, I would say your biggest problem isn't your buck teeth but you're thumb sucking!. You really need to see a mental health professional about this problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it would be dumb not to get help!. I would recomend going to a therapist and having them help you to stop sucking your thumb!. Then once you stop you should consider getting braces!.
Good Luck!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
