Can a tongue cradle correct habits like sucking a finger?

It is generally used for children of primary or middle school age who have developed abnormalities in the teeth, jaw, muscles and / or skeletal due to the sucking of the thumb and finger or a condition called tongue puncture.

An orthodontist or dentist may recommend that your child use a tongue crib for several months to prevent these behaviors.

While this can be an effective treatment for your child, there are other options that can also be used to curb these behaviors.

You can decide to use a combination of interventions or just try a tongue cradle to help correct thumb and finger sucking and tongue pushing.

How it works
The tongue cradle is an orthodontic appliance with a metal grille that blocks the roof of the mouth.

This grid makes it impossible for your child to suck on the thumb or fingers because they cannot get suction during suction.

It can also help to correct the position of your child's tongue by encouraging him to rest down and back, instead of forward and up, which can cause many mouth problems.

Your dentist or orthodontist will most likely recommend a tongue cradle or other orthodontic device if you notice signs of permanent damage due to your child's sucking behavior or tongue position.

One study found that a tongue cradle resulted in participants abandoning the sucking habit, as well as improving overbites and other orthodontic conditions.

The tongue cribs can be removable or permanent, depending on your child's needs.

Your child may have a removable crib if you feel that he will remember to use it regularly and will not lose it.

You are more likely to choose a permanent tongue crib if you feel that your child may be tempted to take it off frequently or simply not use it.

Your orthodontist or dentist can advise your child to use the tongue cradle for several months or even a year to help break their sucking or pushing habits.


What it treats
The tongue cradle can discourage thumb and finger sucking and regulate tongue movements.

Sucking on your thumb and finger can cause tongue thrust, but you don't need to suck your thumb or fingers to develop this condition.

Finger and thumb sucking behaviors and tongue thrusting can create problems in the mouth, including:

• damage to a child's upper front teeth
• change in a child's bite, such as developing an overbite or open bite
• an abnormal technique of swallowing
• problems with jaw alignment
• altered speech patterns

Infants, toddlers and young children often suck on their thumb or fingers to feel comfortable, which is considered normal low-risk behavior.

But when a child gets older, this behavior, as well as the passing of the tongue, can be worrisome. It may affect:

• adult teeth
• skeletal development
• jaw alignment
• speech

How to say
Your child may have tongue jerk if:

• Your tongue advances against your front teeth when pronouncing certain letters.
• They breathe through their mouths.
• They have chapped or chapped lips regularly.
• Your lips remain open when your mouth is in a resting position.

Other devices
A tongue cradle is just one type of orthodontic appliance that you can use to suck your thumb and finger or push your tongue. Other similar devices include:

• a language trainer
• a tongue rake
• Hawley device
• a language screen
• a device to suck the tongue

Some of these devices have rakes or tips that redirect the child's tongue or discourage sucking.

Some feature plastic rolling devices that the tongue can move in place of the thumb or sucking finger.

Others are like cribs and block the child's ability to suck on fingers and thumbs or to push the tongue without additional sensory resources.

Your dentist or orthodontist may also recommend other treatments or devices, depending on your child's needs. This can include an expander or keys.

When is it appropriate?
You can consider a tongue crib or other orthodontic appliance for your child when he approaches primary school or begins to lose his baby teeth.

The length of time that a child mixes baby teeth and adult teeth is called mixed dentition years.

This is the period when orthodontic interventions can be very successful as the child's skeletal system matures, but it is still growing and developing and is not yet fixed.

You can look for a tongue crib for your child, even if there are no signs of permanent damage to teeth or jaw.

You may simply want your child to stop the finger-sucking habit as he grows up.


It's painful?
Your dentist or orthodontist should be able to talk to you about the pain or discomfort that a tongue crib can cause in your child.

The insertion of the tongue cradle can cause some discomfort. Your child may be uncomfortable with the device for the first few days or weeks as it adapts to the change in the mouth.

What does that look like
The tongue cradles feature some metal bars that are near the top of the mouth, close to the front teeth. The bars look like a crib or crate.

Permanent tongue cribs are attached to the upper molars with a thread that wraps around them and then passes along the inside of the teeth to the cradle.


Other methods
You may need to help your child break the habit of sucking the tongue or finger before seeking any orthodontic, oral or other interventions.

One study cautions against using just a tongue cradle or other orthodontic appliance to reform a child's sucking behavior. He found that a child may return to sucking behavior after removing the device.

The study recommended the use of interventions other than the device to stop this behavior. This includes working with the child to change behavior.

It is important that your child is self-motivated to abandon the behavior in order to successfully break it in the long run.

Experts recommend finding a behavior-based program that includes positive reinforcement for long-term change.

You may consider seeking help from a speech therapist to correct the effects of thumb and finger sucking and tongue puncture.

Speech therapists can work with your child to help correct speech development problems, as well as your swallowing technique. These interventions include mouth exercises, as well as speech exercises.

Sessions with speech therapists can last a few months or more, depending on the severity of your child's condition.

If necessary, you can seek training from a speech therapist or other specialist to advise you on how to encourage your child to stop the behavior.

These techniques can help you correct the position of your child's mouth when at rest and other harmful habits developed by sucking your finger or pushing your tongue.

These techniques can help your child correct their behaviors more effectively.

When to see an orthodontist
If your child is still sucking his thumb or fingers at primary school or later, or if you notice a speech problem, you can make an appointment with an orthodontist.

A consultation with an orthodontist may also be recommended if you notice they rest their mouths in an open position or appear to have abnormal swallowing behavior.

It is important to correct these behaviors in mid-childhood to prevent the development of more serious oral, facial and jaw problems in the future.

The final result
You can consider a tongue crib if your older child still sucks on his thumb or fingers. This behavior can cause problems in the teeth, jaw, skeleton and muscles.

A tongue crib can help them stop the habit, as well as correct the damage that the behavior has caused in their mouth.

Talk to your orthodontist or dentist about using a tongue cradle and see a speech development specialist if your child has unusual speech patterns or swallowing techniques.
