I was glad to see that I'm not the only one with a breasfed child undergoing orthodontics. She nursed until around her 3rd birthday, and baby sister was on her way. She used NO sucking devices, no thumbs, fingers, or pacifiers at all. She did 100% of sucking at the breast, and LOTS of it.. Her top teeth are not nearly as bad as her bottom row, which is a mess, (or as Nancy Sherwood put, "a train wreck" : ) She is 10 now, and started her treatment about 1 year ago. I also have a 16 year old nephew that nursed until around his 3rd birthday. When he was around 10 or so, his teeth looked HORRIBLE. I questioned his frugel (read cheap) parents for not inquiring about the need for orthodontics. Well, 6 years later and no treatment, his teeth are really quite beautiful. His scenario has made me wonder if nature lets them come in crooked and then as they continue to grow (the breastfed child), the teeth move into place in their own good time.
