Thumb Sucker

My son is now going on 18 months and I am worried that his thumb sucking may start to make his teeth come in crooked.   I heard that things like pacifiers and thumb sucking are not a good thing for a baby to do once their teeth come in.

I have been trying to get him to stop the thumb sucking but it make him upset when I do.  How long should I let this continue?  Any advices would me helpful.
