Abstract
Thumb sucking is a common phenomenon of childhood behavior. It is commonly associated with oral and psychological pleasure, hunger, anxiety etc. This habit has an adaptive value for children up to the fourth year of life. Prolonged retention of habit may affect the normal growth of dentofacial structures. We present here a case of a male child aged 8 years with thumb sucking habit intercepted successfully by an extra oral electronic habit reminder appliance. This non-punitive extra oral appliance proved to be very effective and comfortable to the patient, and unlike other intra oral appliances it did not interfere with child’s speech, eating activities or emotional development, and eliminated the habit in a short period of 4 months.
