To learn more about front teeth as a consequence of the pacifier, discover our article<\/a> devoted to this subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the opposite phenomenon of the teeth moving forward. Here the traction is made towards the back, causing the teeth to push in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The presence of a pacifier can prevent the teeth from being positioned correctly. It creates a space between the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pacifier is usually lying around and is not necessarily disinfected as needed before each use. These microbes and bacteria that settle on the pacifier can cause oral infections such as cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour \u00e9viter ce probl\u00e8me, adoptez une hygi\u00e8ne bucco-dentaire stricte : lavez et st\u00e9rilisez la t\u00e9tine \u00e0 chaque fois qu’elle tombe par terre, ne mettez pas la t\u00e9tine dans votre bouche en guise de nettoyage et pensez \u00e0 bien brosser les dents de votre enfant apr\u00e8s chaque repas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only can a child's teeth be deformed by the use of a pacifier, but it can also affect the positioning of the jaw. If used too often, this forward pull of the jaw during sucking hinders growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two main types of jaw deformities related to the pacifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The upper and lower jaws no longer touch when the mouth is closed. A space is created between the two. On parle d’occlusion crois\u00e9e lorsque les m\u00e2choires ne sont pas align\u00e9es. Ce mauvais positionnement de la m\u00e2choire ou des dents peut entrainer : <\/p>\n\n\n\n Il n\u2019y a pas d\u2019indications sur l\u2019\u00e2ge pr\u00e9cis auquel un enfant est cens\u00e9 arr\u00eater de sucer son pouce ou d\u2019utiliser une t\u00e9tine. En revanche, les professionnels dentaires s\u2019accordent \u00e0 dire qu\u2019il est pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable que l\u2019enfant cesse vers 2 ou 3 ans. Pour plus de d\u00e9tails sur ce sujet, consultez notre article qui porte sur l’age at which to remove the pacifier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n L’entr\u00e9e \u00e0 l’\u00e9cole est souvent une bonne opportunit\u00e9 pour arr\u00eater la t\u00e9tine : l’enfant franchit une \u00e9tape qu’il sait importante. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before this age, oral deformities can still be prevented. And if they have already occurred, teeth deformed by pacifier use can still correct themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The main problem parents face when trying to get their child to stop using a pacifier is habit. Whether it's for entertainment, relaxation or sleep, the child has developed a habit of sucking his thumb or pacifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alors comme toutes les habitudes, le mieux est d\u2019essayer de la remplacer progressivement par autre chose sans brusquer car interdire la sucette n’am\u00e8nerait qu’incompr\u00e9hension et frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Une des solutions pr\u00e9ventive et corrective pour pr\u00e9server le capital dentaire de l\u2019enfant est la sucette orthodontique. Con\u00e7ue sp\u00e9cialement pour r\u00e9duire les effets n\u00e9fastes sur les dents, elle permet une alternative aux t\u00e9tines traditionnelles. Il est cependant n\u00e9cessaire de bien se renseigner avant tout achat car de nombreuses t\u00e9tines dites \u00ab\u00a0orthodontiques\u00a0\u00bb n’en sont pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The orthodontic pacifier can for example be adopted from an early age. This way, the child is used to it from a very young age and growth problems are limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can also be offered later to help the child separate from his thumb or pacifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out more about the orthodontic pacifier<\/a>You will know if it is suitable for your child and what its advantages are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For getting a child to stop using a pacifier<\/a>There are a multitude of tricks that can be used. Each child is different and one technique will not necessarily work for all children. The best thing to do is to follow the child's rhythm and not to make him feel guilty if he can't stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples that may help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If, despite your best efforts, your child cannot do without his pacifier and suffers from oral deformities, do not panic!
