Tongue thrusting and thumb sucking are the most commonly seen oral habits which act as the major
etiological factors in the development of dental malocclusion. This case report describes a fixed
habit correcting appliance, Hybrid Habit Correcting Appliance (HHCA), designed to eliminate these
habits. This hybrid appliance is effective in less compliant patients and if desired can be used along
with the fixed orthodontic appliance. Its components can act as mechanical restrainers and muscle
retraining devices. It is also effective in cases with mild posterior crossbites.
