Habit Breakers for Children

Helping Your Child Grow Out of Harmful Habits—Gently and Effectively

Thumb sucking, finger sucking, tongue thrusting, or prolonged pacifier use—these habits may seem harmless during early childhood, but if they continue past a certain age, they can impact your child’s dental development. At Harmony, we offer habit-breaking solutions that are gentle, customized, and designed to support your child’s growth and confidence.

Our Approach to Habit Breaking

At Harmony, we believe in positive reinforcement and child-centered care. Our pediatric dental specialists take the time to understand each child’s emotional and developmental needs, offering:

  • Counseling and Education: Helping parents and children understand the risks and set realistic goals to stop the habit.
  • Behavioral Strategies: Gentle reminders, reward charts, and coping tools to replace the habit with healthier behaviors.
  • Orthodontic Habit Breaker Appliances: In cases where habits persist, we may recommend a custom-fitted, fixed or removable appliance such as palatal cribs, lip bumpers, or bluegrass rollers that help discourage the behavior without pain or punishment.

Why Choose Harmony?

  • Specialist pediatric dentists with many years of experience
  • Supportive, safe, and child-friendly environment
  • Gentle techniques that respect your child’s pace
  • Collaborative care with specialist orthodontists when needed

Early guidance can make all the difference.

If your child is struggling to stop a habit that may affect their smile, let’s work together to support them—gently and effectively. Visit us in Dubai or Abu Dhabi today.
