You and Your Child
Pacifiers
A NEW AND IMPROVED PACIFIER
I have developed and received a patent for a new and
improved pacifier for infants and children. My pacifier is called a Gibby. It is
designed to incorpurate the principles of an orthodontic appliance to
promote normal oral development and swallowing patterns in the infant. All
current pacifiers potentially cause poor oral developement if used
improperly or excessively.
To learn about the new innovative pacifier
and to purchase go to www.BranamSmile.com.
These pacifiers are molded in two sizes, Infant (Birth to age 1) and Toddler (Ages 1 to 2). They are designed with orthodontic principles in mind.
This 3 month old baby girl, who was using a conventional pacifier at the time, was given my Dr.Gibby pacifier. She readily accepted it and continues to use it daily.

If your child wants to suck their thumb or finger, offer
your child a pacifier. You should stop pacifier usage at age one year as
well as the baby bottle, but you certainly cannot cut off
your child's thumb at age one year.
Pacifier usage after age six months is nothing more than a habit, a bad
habit. An infant loses it's need to suck at the age of 10-12 months; so you need to wean your child off of a "conventional" pacifier at 10-12 months old. The longer the child becomes attached to or
dependent upon the pacifier, the more difficult weaning becomes. The
child must see the parent throw away the pacifier "outside of the home" so
that the child knows that it is gone.
I will buy your conventional pacifiers
from the toddler for one dollar in my
office.
All parents want their child
to be happy, healthy and content. Infants and newborns cannot speak or
communicate their unhappiness, hunger, etc. and frequently verbalize their
feelings by crying. Frequently, parents give their child a baby bottle
or pacifier to pacify or quiet the baby. My extensive expericence has shown me that all current conventional pacifiers
potentially cause ill side effects with constant or prolonged usage. These
ill side effects are tongue thrust habits, constricted palates, dental
crossbites which lead to distorted dental and skeletal growth, open dental
bites, poor lip seals and potentially promote middle ear infections in
infants and toddlers.
The pacifiers pictured below are ones that I have collected from my patients over the years that had caused the dental problems listed above.
I have been practicing pediatric dentistry exclusively for over 35 years and have treated over twenty thousands patients. I have witnessed the distortion of toddlers' mouths caused be their excessive use of conventional pacifiers, usually the parents have no idea of the damage caused to their child's mouth. I have pictures of the pacifiers shown above that parents have given to me after I examined their child and shown parents the bad effects of over usage of their particular pacifier. I also have pictures below of the mouths of my patients and the harmful results of pacifier usage. It will usually cost between $500.00 and $900.00 per patient to correct these distortions. I have developed and patented a truly orthodontic pacifier designed with the principles of an orthodontic dental appliance. I have had great acceptance by the parents and patients. It has been a very successful method to get toddlers to stop using conventional pacifiers. The children can use my Gyby (Gibby) pacifier as much as they want and it will not distort their mouth.
If you would like to purchase one of these unique and safe pacifiers, just contact our office. They cost $5.00 each plus $2.00 for postage and handling if mailed to you.

I have been performing research and clinical studies
since 1995 on the relationship between dental occlusion, pacifiers, and
otitis media (middle ear infection) in children. I have developed a painless,
reversible, and effective dental procedure in children between the ages
of thirty (30) months and sixty (60) months to reduce the frequency and
pain of ear infections in children. This technique is inexpensive and
approximately 80% - 100% effective in reducing or eliminating ear infections
in infants and toddlers. This could be a very good alternative to long
term antibiotic therapy or placement of ear tubes in your child. I recently
wrote an article published in the Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry:
Volume 22, Number 3/1998. The article is entitled "Minimizing
Otitis Media by Manipulating the Primary Dental Occlusion Case Report".
