How can I stop sucking my thumb?!
Question: How can I stop sucking my thumb?
Answers:
Go to your dentist and get a fence placed. It's a device that cements to the teeth and makes it so you can't get suction with the thumb. You'll quit if you have it.
edit: there are a few different designs of habit appliances. here's one http://www.johnsdental.com/articles/orth…
super easy to place and it always works
I am a dentist
put antiperspirant on your thumbs
They sell a vinegar fingernail polish that helps people sometimes. But if that doesn't your orthodontist has an appliance that can be put in behind your teeth that has spikes in it. It sounds horrible but it work and usually works within a few days. I myself work at a place and have seen this although this is our last resort this maybe what you need since you are the age you are. The vinegar fingernail polish works for younger children ages 4-8. But it is an option and if that doesn't work then the appliance is another option. Good luck. If I am sure the braces when they come off will make your teeth looks so nice I am sure.
