Description
New and recommended! We are glad to present the newest version of our highly successful thumb sucking treatment kit: AeroThumb®! Based on the same principles as our TGuard® Classic, AeroThumb’s improved design offers an ergonomic fit that will fit on your child’s hand like a glove, helping you to stop the thumb sucking habit in a comfortable and effective way. Ventilating holes ensure cool air flow, which allows the device to be worn without any worry of condensation build up. More adjustment resolution means you can get a tighter, more precise fit.
In short, our new design is more comfortable, more ergonomic, and is far more effective than our 20 year old classic design.
If you are looking for a guaranteed way to stop thumb sucking in 4 weeks or less, without causing pain or discomfort, then look no further. Most parents see results after only ONE week of using AeroThumb®, making it one of the most recommended solutions to break the thumb sucking habit.

Kit Contents
Each treatment kit contains everything you need to stop the thumb sucking habit for one hand, within 30 days.
- 1 Ambidextrous AeroThumb ® appliance (can be worn on either hand)
- 30 bracelets: fun to wear, and multi-colored, so children can choose a new color every day!
- 1 Instalock – makes the fitting process as easy as possible!
- One set of instructions
- Reward chart + stickers
Please note: Many children will switch from one thumb, to the other, after putting on the TGuard®. For that reason, we recommend purchasing two treatment kits, one for each hand.
Sizing Chart
Sizing can be a tricky matter and it’s very important to get the right size in order to have a successful treatment. We recommend the table below for most children.
| Weight | Under 40 lbs | Between 40 and 70 lbs | More than 70 lbs |
| Recommended Size | Small | Medium | Large |
Typically, a child 4 and under will be best suited with a small, a child ages 5-6 will best be suited with a medium, and a child aged 7 or order, will choose large. However, the weight chart is the most accurate way to gauge sizing, and we recommend purchasing based off a child’s weight, rather than their age.
If your child is very close to the cut-off between sizes, then go with a smaller size if the child is taller than the average for their age group, or a larger size if the child is shorter than average for their age group. The reason for that is because the only important parameter in sizing is the relation between the thumb width and the diameter of the tube. Taller children tend to have more narrow thumbs and fingers, so they should go down a size, while shorter children tend to have wider thumbs, meaning they should go up a size. The length of the thumb plays no role in sizing.
Please know that children under 3 are more likely to switch from thumb to finger sucking, or vice-versa, due to their habit not being fully matured. If you see that the child switches from thumb to finger sucking, please contact us.

I’m writing this review as a parent who was skeptical of this device but ultimately encouraged by our pediatrician to try it. Our child has sucked their thumb since birth, refusing pacifiers early on and any other soothing methods. Despite so many interventions like reward charts, nail polish, etc we couldn’t break the habit. We started off by explaining the device and letting them explore the included reward chart. For our family, we offered a small toy/prize they were able to pick out upfront for every 10 days of success. We built a 40 day plan. Each morning with a successful day behind us, they would place a sticker on the included chart and celebrate their success. Every 10 days was a new toy. Having the sticker chart and extra motivation was key. We used the device for 40 days. We started treatment mid-May, completed late June and now in September we haven’t had a single day of thumb sucking. While I can’t prove this with data, we observed less illnesses following the start of treatment and now after without thumb sucking.
There’s one more part I wanted to address. As a parent, I felt guilty for “subjecting” my child to such an “extreme” intervention. The first few days were hard. When your child’s default soothing mechanism is no longer available, it comes with a lot of emotions. I really had to work through the short term phase where I knew they wanted their thumb and having to watch them struggle through it. It wasn’t easy but what got me through was the outcome of giving the gift of a healthy oral future, creating new healthy soothing mechanisms and less risk for peer teasing in the future. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Our child now confidently tells us that they worked hard and no longer suck their thumb and they’re super proud. And as parents, we’re relieved a solution finally worked.
Hi Christine,
Thanks for taking the time to offer such a heartfelt and thorough review. We completely agree: the treatment can be emotionally tough, but the longterm rewards are worth it! We are so thrilled with your success and congratulate you and your daughter on a job well done!

My daughter sucked both thumbs 24/7 from 0-4 yrs old. Even in her sleep she always had one of her thumbs in her mouth. Nothing worked to stop her, it was her source of comfort. I kept this on 24/7 for a month straight (some kids need it longer) and in broke the habit. I had to get one for each thumb and buy extra wrist bands, but it was the best money I’ve ever spent.
Her hands were a little sore at first as you have to keep it pretty fitted because they can and will get their thumb out if it’s loose, but I just put some bandaids along where the skin touched it and it was fine after a week. I hope one day it is covered by insurance since it is ADA approved. I showed her dentist and she had never heard of this device before. Her teeth were completely pushed out and moved back to normal in the span of a couple months.
It will suck the first couple of days, they will cry and whine and be sad. Be strong, it is for the best for the future of their oral health.
This worked great for my 7 year old. She kicked the habit after a month of wearing the thumbgard, with immediate success the first night.
I started the conversation before the kit arrived, and that got her excited and the seed was planted. I believe a combination of readiness on the child’s side and a very well thought-out kit created a useful solution. The bracelets were key to providing empowerment with her choice and customization. We didn’t pursue the star chart after initial few days, but it did help at first with the excitement and encouragement.
I chose the wrong size (large was too big), and t-guard swiftly sent the right size while allowing me to keep the large one. We started right away with the large one to harness the excitement of starting and then switched out to the right size when it arrived.
I thought the guard would be clunkier and more obtrusive but it honestly was no big deal and my daughter felt comfortable wearing it while sleeping and playing out with friends/camp.
great product, great service, and we are so proud of my daughter for overcoming this primal habit she’s known her entire life. super cool 🙂

It worked great for my daughter. We had tried so many different methods and then someone recommended this product to us. She wore it 23 hours a day for a month and it did the trick. She no longer sucks her thumb!

We are using it for a long time now. It’s hard to break this habit but he’s 2 and we use it at bedtime. His daycare can’t use it at naptime and we don’t want to reduce his dexterity development so we don’t keep it on all day. So the habit is harder to break. It works well for us at night and just that alone is doing so much to keep him from making permanent changes to his oral arch form so that’s good for us. We may have to continue use until naps are eliminated.
Hi Reena,
Thanks for your review! One critical component of treatment is that the device must be worn at all times when the child can suck: without 100% consistent abstinence from sucking, the desire to suck, which drives the habit, will never be addressed.
We have sent you a DM to follow up on your treatment, to help you achieve permanent, positive results.
Kind regards,
TGuard

If you are debating getting this please do! You won’t regret it!!
Our daughter was an avid thumb sucker, morning and throughout the day and night. We purchased two and in less than 1 full month she no longer was sucking her thumb. Here we are 2 months later and she has not gone back to sucking her thumb. They are so easy to put on every night and she never complained of any discomfort. I’m so happy we decided to finally make this purchase because we tried so many other methods and none worked or they only worked for a very short period of time. Her teeth/smile also have improved significantly.

Helped but did not stop the thumb sucking. Child began sucking g his thumb again after first and second treatments.
Hi there,
Typically, when a child resumes sucking their thumb immediately after removing the TGuards, it means the child was able to suck during the treatment, as their desire to suck had not yet been treated. In order for treatment to be effective, the child must abstain from the habit for at least 30 days.
We would be glad to troubleshoot this issue and ensure a more successful outcome. Please send us a message!
