3. After-use habits such as finger sucking, pen biting, atypical swallowing (insertion of
   the tongue between the teeth) , long-term use of bottles and false teats can
   cause problems in skeletal and dental structure.
4. Early loss of milk teeth and large bruises that cause loss of matter in milk teeth

  is a high risk of contracting interface cavities and gum disease. There is a
  risk of bone loss and loss of teeth at an early age in these types of gingival
  problems. As a result of the middle eastontic treatment, decay, the formation
  of gingival diseases is prevented.
