My baby is 17mths old and has been on pacifier since 4 mths old. He only uses when he sleeps but I noticed that he is starting to have bugs bunny teeth. Is it because of the pacifier?

Extended pacifier use can lead to an anterior open bite (where the top front teeth don’t meet the bottom front teeth) or a cross-bite (when the upper row of teeth hangs down inside the lower teeth, rather than outside). But if it’s a passive use of a soother (meaning the child uses it for naps and nighttimes only), there may not be any dental effects at all.
