Habit Breaking Dental habits like thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, lip biting, and mouth breathing can lead to misalignment of teeth and jaw abnormalities if not addressed in time. Dr. Hittu Agarwal offers specialized habit-breaking appliances tailored to the child’s specific needs, helping to curb these habits without causing distress. These appliances work by eliminating the pleasure associated with the habit, making it easier for the child to stop. Dr. Agarwal also provides counseling for parents, emphasizing positive reinforcement strategies to make the transition smoother. His gentle approach ensures that children feel comfortable while gradually breaking away from detrimental oral habits, setting the foundation for a healthy smile.
