CURAPROX Baby, orthodontic soother 1–2.5 years, size 1, blue

The CURAPROX Baby orthodontic dummy is designed for children aged 1 to 2.5 years. Its main purpose is to partially correct anatomical abnormalities in the mouth that can arise from thumb-sucking or using an unsuitable dummy, for example. The special shape supports the proper development of the jaw and dental arch, thus preventing future problems such as crooked teeth or incorrect breathing. The dummy is made of BPA-free silicone, and using it helps prevent any existing conditions from worsening.

Prevents tooth displacement and breathing problems

The CURAPROX Baby dummy has a flat tip that doesn't put pressure on the upper palate. This prevents it from arching undesirably, which is a common cause of later tooth displacement and the development of an overbite or crossbite. The correct shape of the palate also affects the respiratory tract. The dummy prevents the narrowing of the upper airways, which could otherwise lead to unhealthy mouth breathing and other related complications. This helps ensure natural development without the need for future orthodontic procedures.

Active correction for a proper dental arch

Unlike conventional dummies, this model is active. To prevent it from falling out of the child's mouth, they must actively engage their tongue and cheeks. This triggers its corrective capabilities. The pressure of the tongue on the flexible silicone membrane causes the side wings to gently press on the side walls of the jaw. This mechanism promotes the natural widening of the palate and the formation of an optimally shaped dental arch. The membrane also resembles a real breast, which is pleasant for the child and supports the correct swallowing reflex.

When to consider a corrective dummy

You should consider using the CURAPROX corrective dummy if you notice certain specific signs in your child. The main indicators include a visible crossbite or open bite, or if the child's lips do not fully close even when their mouth is shut. Other signs may include articulation difficulties or noticeable mouth breathing instead of nose breathing. In such cases, the dummy serves to prevent further deterioration and helps guide development in the right direction.
