Habit Elimination Program: Thumb Sucking, Pacifiers, & More!

A sucking habit can become a problem when it persists beyond the age where it naturally tends to diminish, typically around 3-years-old. If the habit persists and begins to affect dental or speech development, intervention through a habit elimination program may be necessary.

There are various treatment strategies available for habit elimination, including the use of dental appliances (such as cribs or rakes), aversive methods like bitter-tasting nail polishes, psychodynamic therapies, and behavior modification techniques. However, research indicates that the most effective approach for habit elimination is behavior modification. Our program focuses on positive reinforcement, utilizing rewards, motivation, and increased self-awareness to encourage lasting change.

Thumbs Up Program is a 30 day habit elimination program that implements strategies to break an oral habit using positive reinforcement and rewards. Our package is a money back guarantee!
