In order to avoid frontal malocclusion and the resultant jaw anomalies, the dummy teat has a shield plate (1) curved in the ideal shape of the jaw, on which the sucking projection (5) is fastened rigidly or so as to be rotatable to a limited extent via a wire coated with a synthetic resin or rubber. The bracket (4) is arranged such that it comes to rest in the gap between the deciduous canine teeth and the deciduous molars, so that the front teeth rest on top of each other even when the dummy teat is used and can thus grow with the correct overbite. <IMAGE>
