Adult Pacifier Use Linked to Serious Dental Damage, Orthodontist Explains
Orthodontist Warns Against Adult Pacifier Trend, Citing Severe Dental RisksA recent video featuring orthodontist Dr. Benjamin Winters, known as "The Bentist," has brought attention to the concerning trend of adults using pacifiers, often as a study aid for conditions like ADHD. Dr. Winters explicitly warns against this practice, explaining the significant and potentially irreversible damage it can inflict on dental health.According to Dr. Winters, prolonged and consistent pressure from a pacifier can lead to a condition known as an "open bite." He clarifies that this differs from an overbite or overjet, where teeth might overlap too much vertically or protrude horizontally, respectively. An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth fail to make contact, leaving a gap even when the mouth is closed. "Putting pressure on a binky over time, especially if you're doing it for long hours at a time and really consistently over the week, will actually put pressure on those teeth," Dr. Winters states in the video. "As you bite down, the pressure will drive those teeth away from each other."The orthodontist highlights that this issue is similar to why babies are weaned off pacifiers before their permanent teeth emerge. If an open bite becomes established in permanent dentition, the consequences can be severe, potentially necessitating complex treatments like jaw surgery to correct the alignment. Dr. Winters advises individuals seeking focus aids for ADHD or studying to consider alternatives such as fidget spinners or clicking pens, which do not pose a risk to dental structure. His message underscores the importance of understanding oral health implications before adopting such trends.
