  At what age does it start deforming teeth?

    Rule of thumb I learned and never validated:

    Two it starts, with three it can become an issue, with four it might affect the underlying permanent teeth - and there is no difference between thumb or pacifier.

    think less “at what age” and more “after how much thumb sucking”.
