Minor crowding, rotation, proclination of maxillary anterior teeth and temporomandibular joint dysfunction can also be noticed..Treatment modalities mostly varies from restriction of performance by of this act through application of barrier or bitter tasting solutions on finger nails to psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.A case is presented here, where nail biting habit in a pediatric patient was successfully treated by an intraoral fixed deterrent appliance.
