[QUOTE="MissVic, post: 40129, member: 3151"] Hi there, I haven't been around in quite a while but when a new issue arose at my house, this is the first place I thought of turning to for answers. Obie is now 3 years 10 months old. He has a prelim diagnosis of ADHD/ODD (BIG time ODD). He is not yet medicated although we have an appointment with a psychiatric at the end of the month. He attends the local sped preschool 4 morning per week (he qualified based on social emotional delay and/or behavioral issues). He does have some sensory issues, mostly sensory seeking and I have him in private Occupational Therapist (OT) once a week with a sensory diet at home. My question is this....he still uses a pacifier to sleep and it's really affecting his teech. His bite is now quite open and it's worrying us. 4 years old seems so old for pacifier use, but he's not like every other kid...more intense, hyper,distracted, you guys know the drill. My husband is really pushing me to end the paci use but I'm afraid. It's one of the ONLY ways that Obie knows to calm/organize himself and I am scared to death to take that from him. I'm thinking of taking him to the ortho to see if they can give him any type of appliance NOW, while he's still using the paci, to minimize the damage to his oral health. Thoughts?????????????????????????????????????????? [/QUOTE]
