[QUOTE="buddy, post: 480759, member: 12886"] My son has not pulled his teeth out but he will pick and with braces would really have terrible behaviors at times. So much better without braces now! The braces themselves caused irritation to him and he has always been sensitive to any little irritation, does not have to be pain. he will make his gums bleed at times by picking and by brushing too hard, over and over. Other times he lets it go--no brushing for a day and I have to cue him to do it. So weird. My son needs deep pressure kinds of input. Even the dentist said to go ahead and use hubba bubba kinds of bubble gum...the thick kinds that allow for hard chewing, even two pieces. He also chews on surgical tubing which is chemical free. For my son it is a huge sensory issue and we work with Occupational Therapist (OT)'s on the underlying integration, in fact I am going to start him back in private Occupational Therapist (OT). Does your son have Occupational Therapist (OT)? I would for sure have him evaluated there. He is likely not perceiving touch and pain the same as we do. And once a behavior starts it can just become obsessive and compulsive esp. for kids on the spectrum. Just my thoughts, sounds really awful, poor kid and poor you. [/QUOTE]
