detrimental effect on oral and perioral structures if not intervened early. So oral habits are considered as the major
etiological factors in the development of malocclusion. This case report describes a removable habit breaking appliance
which is easy to construct and affordable for our patients. It is most effective in correction of thumb sucking and tongue
thrusting.
