Benefits Of Using An Orthodontic Pacifier

I think that any parent {new or otherwise} can agree that choosing the best pacifier for their children is a daunting task. It becomes even MORE daunting when the baby decides to put their two-cents in as well. Because most often, the pacifier that baby is initially introduced to will become a mainstay. So that puts further pressure on choosing not just the right pacifier now, but for later one too.

And when choosing the right pacifier, you’ll notice the term “orthodontic” will be among your choices. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s  wondered just what that term meant to a pacifier since the majority of babies are born without teeth. And I also wondered what its long-term benefits were regardless. So to start in the most factual sense, the pacifiers orthodontic term is merely to reinstate its defined purpose in the dentistry specialty towards improper bites.

An improper bite can result from either jaw or tooth irregularities. Which further reinstates why choosing an orthodontic pacifier before teething begins can be beneficial. And while the material or individual design used may differ, you’ll find that the orthodontic pacifier will have a flat bottom and a rounded top. This particular nipple shape encourages the healthy formation of a baby’s teeth, gums, palate, and jaw. Hence its purpose hopefully avoids the development of an improper bite to be corrected at a later age.

Once you’ve concluded this is the style of pacifier you would want, then you can look at the different designs available. For this post, I’m highlighting the Nuby Natural Touch orthodontic pacifiers. Now only stylish {which we all know we want}, safe {bpa free}, but its also has additional benefits designed in its Natural Flex technology. This specialized benefit allows the pacifier nipple to move like a mothers breast. Pretty fancy right?

So now you know what an orthodontic pacifier is. You have learned how it can help your child as they grow. And you also know what it should look like. I’ve also shared how to look for additional benefits that are designed into the orthodontic pacifiers as well.

Now that you’ve narrowed those four facets, you can kick back and see what type of style you’d like. Another great feature of the Nuby Natural Touch pacifiers, is that each orthodontic line features a wide range of textures, grips, hygienic air holes, and teething nubs. And as protective and worrisome as we parents can be…who doesn’t want the baby’s pacifier to cute to boot?

As all these picture have indicated, you’ll find a wide range of great colors in the Nuby Natural Touch pacifier line. And with every great pacifier comes another must-have, the Nuby Pacifinder. Clipping safely to baby via a sliding lock, they’ll keep your pacifiers from being thrown or dropped. Because after all the trouble to find that perfect orthodontic pacifier, nobody likes to see it lost. Especially the screaming baby. All that said, good luck and I’m sure you’ll find the best pacifier that your child needs!
