Emma liked to suck her thumb. A lot! After a year and a half of having the dentist tell me she is damaging her teeth, and me telling him we were trying lots of other things to get her to stop, she finally got a habit appliance. It's a metal thing cemented into her mouth. She will have it in for four months after the last time we see her sucking her thumb. Which was the same day she got the appliance.

Wow, hope it works. Sounds like it is working. What does she think of it? Does it irritate her other than make thumb sucking awkward? It looks like it will help her get ready for having a bunch of metal (orthodontics is the correct term I guess)in her mouth in later years:)
