My youngest has a dummy at night, he's 2.5 and I was planning to get rid of it when he's 3 and able to understand an exchange (so dummies to Father Christmas) rather than cry it out as he's really dependant on it for sleep. Anyway he has quite pronounced eye teeth (sp) which I also have (I used to suck my thumb until 8ish) so I didn't think anything of it until a friend casually said 'oh dear, you can really see he uses a dummy, you need to take it away.' Would this effect the eye teeth like that? I thought dummy use caused a gap or an overbite. I wasn't in a rush to get rid of it at night before he's 3 because I don't want a traumatic battle over it but now I'm not sure.
