Orthodontic treatment in young children with innovative pacifiers: a case series
by Dr. Cornelia Filippi; Dr. Andreas Filippi; Dr. Carlalberta Verna,
Scientific Reports journal’s January 2025 issue features an article titled “Orthodontic treatment in young children with innovative soothers: A case series”
The Curaprox soother had a positive regulatory effect on the jaw misalignment in all three cases presented. Jaw misalignment was clearly linked to suckling habits. Unlike comfort soothers described in previous literature, the Curaprox soother features a unique pressure distribution that likely explains the corrections seen. When examining the model, pressure from below moves the side wings of the soother along the roof of the mouth, bypassing the palatine suture.
