How to explain a
“Habit Appliance”
to a 5-year-old
A habit appliance is like a special tool made by your dentist to help you stop doing things that can hurt your teeth. It’s like having a little friend in your mouth that reminds you not to suck your thumb or push your tongue against your teeth. With the habit appliance’s help, you can train your mouth to grow up healthy and strong!
