CURAPROX Baby, Orthodontic Soother from 2.5 Years, Size 2, Pink

The CURAPROX Baby orthodontic dummy is designed for children from 30 months of age and helps to prevent and partially correct improper oral development, such as crooked teeth or a bad bite. Thanks to its special shape with a flat tip and side wings, it supports the natural development of the dental arch. The dummy is made of silicone and acts as an active aid that stimulates the muscles in the mouth and promotes proper swallowing.

An Active Dummy for Proper Development

The CURAPROX Baby dummy works on an active principle. Unlike conventional convex dummies, which hold themselves in the mouth, this one requires the child to actively engage their tongue and cheeks. It is this action that triggers the dummy's corrective abilities. The pressure of the tongue towards the palate causes the side wings to push outwards, helping to form the dental arch into its optimal shape. In this way, the dummy supports the correction of anatomical deviations and can contribute to improved breathing or articulation.

Correction of the Bite and Jaw Shape

The special shape of the dummy aims to prevent and correct specific problems. The flat tip does not push the palate upwards, which prevents the formation of a high-arched shape that can lead to tooth displacement and the future need for braces. At the same time, this shape prevents the narrowing of the upper airways, which is associated with unhealthy mouth breathing. The side wings complement this function by applying gentle pressure to the side walls of the jaw, thus promoting the formation of a correctly shaped dental arch.

Supports Nose Breathing

One of the dummy's goals is to promote proper nose breathing and limit mouth breathing, which is associated with certain risks. Proper nose breathing filters the inhaled air and ensures a sufficient supply of oxygen to the brain. Mouth breathing reduces this supply, which can manifest as insomnia, irritability, or an impaired ability to learn. Children who breathe through their mouths are also more prone to respiratory illnesses and tend to have more dental cavities because the airflow dries out the oral cavity and reduces the protective function of saliva.
