Before
After
Eight-year-old patient with premature loss of lower right first molar and active thumb-sucking habit causing anterior open bite. Combination space maintainer and habit-breaking appliance placed.
Lower band-and-loop space maintainer + upper removable Hawley with tongue crib for habit breaking.
Habit eliminated within 3 months. Space maintained successfully for permanent tooth eruption.
Really educational case. The step-by-step breakdown helps a lot.
The radiographic follow-up would be great to see here.
This is a great reference case. Thanks for sharing the details.
