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 under 4 will choose small, a child ages 5-6 medium, and a child above 7 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, or a larger size if the child is shorter. 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.
Instructional Video
We purchased the thumb guard when my son was two and a half; he was sucking his thumb day and night. The 30 day period of full time use worked for us but this behaviour is a soothing mechanism which also needs attention. My son is now 5, and we still use the thumb guards at night.
my daughter is 11 and we had tried everything. At this point she decided she really wanted to stop and she agreed to try Thumb Guard and it worked great! She is Thumb free now. Of course, the child also needs to want to stop, unless they are very small, but it was comfortable and not like a fabric guard that gets wet and annoying. In our area people have not heard about it, so her friends/teachers had no idea what it was which also made it easier and less embarrasing.
It probably works if it’s not a strong habit but my daughter switched from the thumb to the fingers and even if we still put it at night with coton gloves as we have been recommended for a few months now , she stills is sucking her index .
Hi Chantal,
Switching might happen occasionally for children under the age of 3. We do have techniques which can help address this issue.

I love the idea and had high hopes. I even bought a second one hoping that it’ll work only to have spent over $100 on a useless piece of plastic. My two year old figured how to take it off and tightening it did no good. It also left an unsightly bruise on his hand.
Hi Kenny,
We are sorry to hear that the treatment hasn’t been working out so far. Please reach out to us for support.

It worked. My kid sucked his thumb at night. As soon as this went on, he stopped. The physical presence of the device alone was enough to get him to stop.
After about 40 days, we stopped putting it on for bed and he stopped thumbsucking for good.
It works.
Unfortunately we purchased two and have used past 90 days and unfortunately my son is able to slip his thumb out and has not stopped sucking his thumb. Unfortunate this product didn’t work despite proper placement.
I AM IMPRESSED! My almost three year old has been sucking her thumb to fall asleep since she was a baby. Recent half a year she has started to do it more often when not sleeping, on the car especially. The dentist had been telling us to help her stop the habit and things were only getting worse with younger kids joining her class who suck their thumb all the time, she started to do that during the day at school too. I didnt want to use the bitter nail polish but was hesitant with the T guard because of the price. But I’m so glad I did! About a week beforehand, We told her we got a “glove” to help her stop her thumb sucking since she’s a big girl now. Then one weekend, we started. She was first curious and willingly put it on. But she wanted it off soon after. She didn’t even try to suck her thumb with the guard on or chew it. She just whined wanting to take it off. We told her we’d take it off during shower, telling her we understand it’s new and might feel weird, and that it’ can be hard to adjust to new things at first, but she can do hard things. The first several nights, not gonna lie, was really hard. She would fall asleep ok but cry so bad after wake-up in the middle of the night and not falling back asleep quickly as she usually had been able to. It got better but by bit after the first 5 nights, and after over a week, her sleep pattern went back to normal. She stopped sucking her thumb in the day almost right away after using it, and after a bit over 2 weeks, per her request, we took it off. She didn’t need it any more. We agreed if she started again we’d put it back on but she hasn’t yet, it’s been 3 days now. I have noticed her sleep to improve too since she doesn’t rely on sucking her thumb to fall asleep. She also loves the sticker routine every day. We don’t do reward or sticker charts at home, we just tell her it’s our way to count the days of her not sucking her thumb. Even though she’s not using the guard any more, we’ll continue till all the stars are gone and celebrate her graduation from the habit.
It doesn’t work for my child. You can’t put on his tumb more than 3 days because it makes him hurt. It doesn’t gave me solution.
Hi Ephrem,
Please reach out to us for troubleshooting. In most cases, a smaller size or a readjustment will solve the problem.
Making the straps tighter is usually not the solution.

My 3 yr old daughter sucked both thumbs from birth. We tried the yucky nail polish before trying tgaurd. That was no fun though because it didn’t dry quickly and I worried she would taste it when eating. We decided to begin using tgaurd around the holiday season. We pretended that some Christmas elves dropped off the tgaurds for her and that they were going to encourage her to wear them all the time except when bathing by bringing a tiny surprise each morning that she continued to wear the guards. We made sure to tell her that the “elves” knew she was a big girl and was ready for the challenge! It worked beautifully! My advice is to stay consistent for your child. Place the bracelets on every day/night for the entire duration of time. We added the sticker map to her bedtime routine and she grew to really enjoy adding a star to the map each night. The gifts were small too. Some days it was simply a fruit that she had never tried before or a chapstick or socks. We tried to gift things that she actually needed and not just junk that would get thrown away after a single use. Yes, the guards are expensive but it worked and has saved me from constantly harping on her to take her fingers out of her mouth and quite possibly money for braces later down the road.
Yes. It absolutely did in 6 weeks. Worth every penny.
