I thought that thumb sucking past age 4 or so just means money in the banko
for orthodontists..  the power of the sucking over long periods of time
results in movement of the upper teeth and a lousy byte.. 

I had this happen to me... But I don't know if it was because I sucked my
thumb too long or due to other factors.  I just know that if eliminating
thumb sucking *COULD* stop visits to the dentist it is worth it.
