In the deciduous dentition continuous dummy-sucking is almost always associated with an anterior openbite and an increased prevalence of posterior crossbite. Dummy-sucking in older children is very rare. The effect of earlier dummy-sucking in the permanent dentition is not very marked. However, there is a tendency towards an anterior rotation of the mandible.
