Depends for how long: Starting thumb sucking at 2 is not the critical issue, it is for how long. Between the ages of 5 to 9 there is significant growth occurring in the lower and upper jaws and teeth that thumb sucking may severely interfere with.

Possibly: Usually if thumb habit discontinued by age 4, no harm no foul. That said, as an orthodontist I have treated many children with pernicious digit habit induced buck teeth. Digit habit pull upper teeth and jaw forward, prevent lower jaw growth, and collapse upper jaw inward. Pacifier does less damage & easier to discontinue. If you can, gently discourage habit.
