Habit-Breaking Treatments
Habit-Breaking Treatments at Anannya Dental Clinic & Orthodontic Centre
At Anannya Dental Clinic & Orthodontic Centre we offer specialized habit-breaking treatments designed to help patients overcome harmful oral habits. These treatments are tailored to correct behaviors that may affect dental health, speech, and overall oral function, ensuring long-term oral health benefits.
What are Habit-Breaking Treatments?
Habit-breaking treatments focus on addressing detrimental oral habits, such as thumb-sucking, tongue thrusting, and bruxism (teeth grinding). These habits, if left unchecked, can lead to misalignment of teeth, improper bite, speech problems, and other dental issues.
