Habit breakers are crucial tools in interceptive orthodontics, designed to control and eliminate detrimental oral habits like tongue thrusting and thumb sucking. These appliances, which can be either removable or fixed, are positioned behind the teeth against the roof of the mouth, preventing the tongue from thrusting forward. They are effective in restraining not just tongue thrusting, but also thumb and lip sucking habits, thus helping prevent malalignment of the teeth. Various types of habit breakers, such as tongue cribs, blue grass appliances, lip bumpers, and oral screens, play a significant role in reducing the risk of developmental issues in facial bones and teeth positioning.
