Stopping Thumb Sucking
One in every ten children is found to have thumb sucking habits. With these numbers it has become essential for parents to learn about stopping thumb sucking before the problem gets out of hand. Thumb sucking habits are known to stick for long and cause the most adverse effects in children between the ages of three and four. This is the time when children's permanent teeth begin to appear and their alignment can be seriously disturbed by thumb sucking, leading to the discomfort and pain that occurs when getting them realigned. Most orthodontists and pediatricians will attest to the fact that stopping thumb sucking habits as soon as possible is in the best interest of every child. Thumb sucking between the ages of three and four causes the upper front teeth to be pushed out, the lower front teeth to be pushed in and the teeth on the sides to be pushed inwards as well. Furthermore, children with thumb sucking habits are found to be more susceptible to flu, cold and other infectious diseases in the environment.
The aid offered by Your Hand Aid is the innovation of expert Ken Stevens and it works towards stopping thumb sucking effectively and for good. It is well distinguished from the other thumb sucking preventive aids found in the market and is one hundred percent safe for children. Other hands work to stop thumb sucking by causing slight discomfort to children when they take the aid on their thumb in to their mouth. The aid from Your Hand Aid, on the other hand ensures the child's thumb never makes it near their mouth at all. Furthermore, it is made using safe materials in contrast to other aids made from vinyl plastics which are now known to release toxins hazardous to health. Another important feature of the thumb sucking preventive and curative aid offered by Your Hand Aid is that while stopping thumb sucking it does not impair the hand's mobility in any way.
It is made to be completely comfortable and allows the child to move their hand and perform routine daily activities easily. Furthermore, the hand aids come in different sizes according to wrist size, weight and age to ensure the perfect fit and feel. This contributes to the success of the therapeutic process because the children should see the aid as a helper instead of a distraction. Your Hand Aid has designed the aid for stopping thumb sucking with a special closure that children will not be able to open by themselves. This is important as if they were able to take the aid off whenever they liked it would be a break in the therapeutic process. With this special lock and given how comfortable the hand aid is, children can easily keep it on their thumb during the day and the night without getting fed up of it. These hand aids also come in different skin tones for children going to schools and day cares.
