Abstract EN
Digit sucking is a common childhood behavior, which has an adaptive value for children up to the fourth year of life.
It is usually associated with oral pleasure and self-comforting behavior.
But chronic practice may produce deleterious effect in the form of dental and skeletal deformities.
Adjunctive therapy using bluegrass appliance as a permanent reminder and quadhelix appliance as a reminder as well as a slow palatal expander has proven successful in intercepting digit-sucking habit and expanding the arch for crossbite correction.
In the present case, a versatile modified quadhelix appliance incorporating a roller was designed to clinically correct the habit and its resulting dentofacial deformities.
