One of the most challenging tasks for a pediatric dentist is the management of deleterious oral habits which severely affect the dento facial complex. However, if these habits can be intercepted and diagnosed early, they can save the patient from the psychological impact of undergoing long treatment therapies. One such deleterious oral habit is Morsicato mucosae oris ie Chronic Cheek biting that affects the buccal mucosa. Presented here is a case report that describes the interception of this deleterious habit in a 6 year old girl child who was a bilateral cheek biter with the help of an unique design, modifying oral screen.
