Question: How come the two front teeth turn in from thumb sucking.?
Answers:
Consistent thumb sucking will cause protrusion and displacement of the person's front teeth. It can cause your teeth to become crowded and crooked. The reason it doesn't happen to every single child that sucks there thumb is because it only occurs if the problem is a constant habit. It will start to become a problem after the age of four or five. Children usually don't suck their thumbs for TOO long. The thumb will cause pressure on the teeth and contort the jaw up over time and may cause speech problems. Health Question & Answer
