Long post about teeth:

So my son will be 16 months old tomorrow and he had his first dentist appt today. He said his dental hygiene is perfect, but that his use of a pacifier is messing with his bite and to stop ASAP. I think some of this is hereditary since I have a small overbite (never needed braces because my teeth were otherwise straight) and my mother had a big one. But I still don’t want to make things worse. I feel bad because everything I read before said usually if they’re done with the pacifier by the age of 2-4 then their teeth should be fine or at least correct themselves. I don’t think his is too bad yet, but I’m worried it won’t correct and it’s my fault for not taking it sooner. He only really used it for bedtime and car rides too. Any tips to wean him off of it completely now? Anyone else have experience with toddlers whose pacifier use affected their teeth?
