Does thumb sucking in children affect the alignment of their teeth?
send
Yes, there is an impact.
It is generally said that children who continue to suck their thumbs after the age of five are at risk of developing poor tooth alignment. However, rather than forcing children to stop sucking their thumbs, it is important to closely observe whether there is anything that could be causing them to do so and to remove any frustration factors. It is important to slowly and gently explain to children that thumb sucking is wrong once they are over three years old and have a certain level of understanding.
