MED et al, Inc ThumbGuard The most recommended remedy to stop thumb sucking, TGuard ThumbGuard will break the thumbsucking habit in 30 days. SKU UPC Model

I’m a believer - worked on my 13-mo old!!

Apr 05, 2013 by Melissa P.
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

I was very skeptical about this product but now I’m a believer! I was desperate to stop my 13 month old daughter from sucking her finger and hair-pulling. She had pulled out a very large bald spot and was sucking and pulling non-stop. I was worried the device would be too big (she is really tiny 15% on the growth chart), but it was very adjustable and didn’t restrict her motion. The first week my dad commented she was like a new kid, she was engaged with us, no longer withdrawn by her finger. We made her a sleeping shirt by sewing a long sleeve shirt shut and used that at naptime and night-time… I believe this also discouraged her from switching digits. We kept the guard on her hand during the day and removed it at night and used the sleep shirt. I was surprised how little the guard bothered her, especially since she was a constant sucker. Happy to say after 30 days, she is no longer sucking. We still use the sleep shirt to be safe and probably will for a few more months. The hair pulling is very minimal and I am so happy that her hair is growing back in and her teeth are starting to go back to the correct position. It really was perfect timing for us, THANK YOU T-GUARD!!!

Response: Thank you Melissa! We are very glad that our product was able to help you!

I bought this for my almost 5 year who sucked her thumb most of everyday and night. I was skeptical at first, but it actually worked! I put it on her for a month and as soon as we took it off she had no interest in sucking her thumb anymore. I wish I had used this sooner. Definitely worth the money.

Response: Thanks Heather!!

I was looking for a way to stop the habit on my 20 months daughter, searched the web and found TGuard. I bought it and she used it for 44 days. She forgot the habit completely, now she sleeps, plays, do everything without the need to suck any finger. The two first nights it was terrible, she cried a lot. But at the end it did worth the pain. Thanks everybody on TGuard.

We bought the thumb guard for our daughter which was recommended by her speech teacher. My husband and I were totally amazed how fast it worked, our daughter stopped sucking her thumb 1 month after using! Would recommend this product to any parent!!! This product should be renamed "Miracle Guard!!"

Thanks a million

Our 9 month old daughter sucked her two middle fingers all day long. We used this finger guard on her for 3 1/2 weeks and 24 hours a day and she gradually began to forget about her fingers. IT WORKS so I recommend it to people I see.

Response: Steph, Thank you for your review. Congratulations on your success!

Our 3 1/2 year old daughter sucked her middle 2 fingers of the left hand around the clock since she was 3 months old. We have been using the Fingerguard now for nearly 2 months. We began using it 24 hrs/day for the first seven weeks. I involved her as much as possible - picking out a band, washing the fingerguard, taping her fingers(because she would endure the pain of pulling her finger out of it), counting (in different languages!) the number of holes to get to the right setting, cutting the excess band length - anything to make it fun for her. Bedtime was extremely difficult for many, many weeks. She had to learn to fall asleep all over again, taking many hours at a time - and a lot of patience on our part. This slowing improved. She now requires it at night only. Day time is still going well. We will be staying with it as long as it takes. I think it is worth the effort. So nice to see her without her fingers in her mouth.
FYI.. I had this shipped to Canada. We paid an additional $40 to get it through Customs.

I was completely skeptical when I saw this product. I wanted to believe my 6 year old daughter would just stop sucking her fingers. I brought the product, and thought let's see. The first few days were horrible! She was on a mission not to wear it and I was on a mission that she was going to wear it. After the first week, we made a deal, as long as she kept her fingers out of her month, she only had to wear it at night. I was amazed, she was not sucking her fingers. I knew the real test was at night, where she had little control, but sure enough after 4 weeks she was not sucking her fingers. (she had misplaced it and I was sure she was going to suck if fingers again, she didn't. I found it the next day and had her wear it one more week for my sanity. She has been finger free. Her teeth have corrected themselves, and her blisters on her fingers are all gone. You have nothing to lose and your child has a lot to gain. IT WORKS!!!

Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

My son is 2 1/2. I was very nervous to take his thumbs away at such an early age! But his dentist said that in her experience, most children don't grow out of thumb sucking. She actually recommended another brand, but that brand didn't fit his hand, so I found Tguard! Within 3 days he didn't resist me putting them on, at one week I could leave them off all the time except for before nap and bedtime, and after 2 1/2 weeks he was no longer sucking his thumb!!! The first week around naptime and bedtime were difficult for him learning how to go sleep without sucking, but now he passes out just as quickly as he used to! I would highly recommend these to any friend, family, or stranger!

TGuard is comfortable and effective, I recommend it to all of my patients

Apr 05, 2012 by Dr. Kyle Jackson, DDS
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Dentist 

I used your appliance [T-Guard] on my six year old daughter. I had tried to curb her thumb sucking habit through educating her on its detrimental effects to her dentition. When she was willing to try and discontinue her habit, I tried using a fixed habit appliance. After 6 months with her fixed appliance she was still trying to suck her thumb. She was my toughest case. Then I . . . used your T-Guard thumb habit appliance. In 1 week I removed her fixed appliance. Within 3 weeks her habit completely stopped. Your appliance worked great. My daughter said it was comfortable and she found it highly effective in curbing not only her ability to suck her thumb, but also her desire to suck her thumb.

ThumbGuard worked for a 12 year old

Apr 05, 2012 by Dr. Jay Levitt, D.D.S.
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Dentist 

. . . I had the opportunity to give this kit [T-Guard] to a 12 year old child that has sucked his thumb from birth. His habit has caused a significant change in his oral structures. His mom has tried everything including a fixed orthodontic device which he was currently wearing. He had had it for several months - his mom reports that it did not slow him down a bit. After four days with your appliance [T-Guard] the mom called ecstatic with glee because her son stopped his habit. . .

Even though my son was only 18mths old i wanted to stop his constant thumbsucking habit. i found your product through practicon dental supply. Initially i was very skeptical, but he quit sucking in about 3 weeks, the appliance was a little big for his hand but it still worked. being a children's dentist, i now have a relatively inexpensive resource for my patients.

Another believer in TGUARD!!!

Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

I wanted to thank you. My son Quincy has sucked his thumb from the "Very Beginning"!!! He didn't even know 80% of the time that it was even in his mouth, it was such a habit. He is 10 years old. He would get very upset with himself, but as he would say "My thumb just pops in my mouth!" I searched the internet to find help for him, and read about the T-Guard. With the help of my dentist, we ordered it. He wore it day and night for 20 days. He has not sucked his thumb since. It has been 3 months now. He is more outgoing and has more confidence in himself than ever before. Thanks!!!!

I wanted to let you know that your Thumb Guard was very succesful! The colorful bracelets helped my child to be very excited to have the Thumb Guard put on every night. She would try to match her pajamas to the color of the bracelet. After six years of thumb sucking, she is now putting herself to sleep at night with no thumb sucking! Thank you for taking the emotional energy and drama out of changing this habit.

new hope

Apr 05, 2012 by Tami
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

My name is Tami Burgeson and I have a 10-year old daughter who sucks her thumb. We have tried everything from the bandaids, sports wraps, mittens, gloves with watches wrapped around the wrist. Nothing has worked. Two years ago our dentist, (who is a family friend) suggested the mouth appliance. So, for 3 months she wore it until her gums started growing around the metal. He immediately took it out. For a year we tried all those other things mentioned above AGAIN. No luck, unfortunately. Last week he insterted the mouth appliance in her mouth again. Not only is it uncomfortable, it's hard to play the saxophone and do well in voice lessons. We feel like we are punishing her for something that she doesn't know she's even doing. She only sucks her thumb at night but it is obvioulsy affecting her teeth. Tonight I sat down at the computer and found your product. I will fax my information tomorrow morning and the faster you can get this miracle product to us, the happier our 10 year old will be. Also, I am going to our dentist tomorrow to ask him to take the mouth appliance out as soon as possible! You have given us new hope! I thank God I found you!

I wanted to thank you and your company for creating the Thumb Guard product. It helped my daughter (finally) stop sucking her thumb at the age of four. Not only is your product second to none, but your customer service is, as well! I truly appreciated you following up with us individually and helping us with our questions. I will recommend your product to anyone I know who needs it. It worked wonders. Thank you again.

Another convert

Apr 05, 2012 by Nicole Fain
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

Just wanted to say that I was completely surprised and shocked that my 4 1/2 year old daughter finally stopped sucking her thumb thanks to T-Guard. She wore them for 3 weeks in December 2001 at night only. I had tried every possible thing I had heard about, to no avail. I was skeptical as she had a die hard, serious habit. We had made some progress behaviorally since age 3 by telling her she was welcome to suck her thumb but she must do it in her room. Therefore she pretty much gave it up during the day. She still sucked her thumb when she got sleepy in the car, for naps or bedtime. She WANTED to stop, she would try for about 15 minutes at night and then cry because she was so exhausted while fighting this huge urge to suck her thumb. The T-Guard took away her need to fight the urge and the inner conflict. It simply helped her break the habit. She was so happy with herself! I wish I knew about these when she was 2!

I would add that I promoted T-Guard to her from the beginning as a special, beautiful bracelet for girls who want to have "princess teeth." I showed her the picture of the girl wearing it on your website and told her she was going to be a big girl just like the girl in the picture. We told her after wearing this special bracelet her teeth would not stick out anymore and she would have "princess teeth." Finally, when she wore the last bracelet and had not sucked her thumb for a whole month, we rewarded her by buying her a "big girl bed." She was so proud of herself. We gave her lots of positive encouragement and praise along the way. I'm totally surprised that only a few months later, her teeth have moved back to a normal position and do not stick out at all. They are completely in line with her other teeth and her smile looks so much prettier. So wanted to say thank you again and let you know that your product worked.

The thumbguard works miracles

Mar 23, 2012 by Trina Wilson
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

I just wanted to let you know that the T-guard was amazing. My son sucked his thumb before he was born. After his third birthday, I knew something had to be done. I ordered the T-guard. After viewing the video, I attempted to put the device on his thumb. Needless to say, I didn't do it correctly and he pulled it off. His exact words were 'I guess you need to look at the video again.' It took a few times but I was successful. After about 4-5 weeks, my son was no longer a thumb sucker. I have recommended the product to anyone who would listen. As a matter of fact, my daughter and I were talking and she'd even forgotten that he had ever sucked his thumb. Again, Thank-you for developing a product that is moderately priced and works miracles.

ThumbGuard WORKS! My daughter is so proud to have finally stopped thumb sucking!

Mar 23, 2012 by Kristen Henderson
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

Can\'t thank the people at MED et al Development enough. My daughter, Emily, started wearing the Thumbguard on January 22, 2002 and is already celebrating several triumphs. She now goes all day including nap times without wearing the device. She only needs it at bedtime and that is soon close to an end.

But before you can understand our excitement in our household, you have to understand how severe her habit was up until we started the treatment. Emily is 5 years old and has sucked her thumb ever since our first ultrasound of her early in the pregnancy. We tried many options over the course of the past year only to face failure and to reluctantly go back to watching her suck her thumb.

The price I paid for the Thumbguard was the best money I spent thus far this year. She has even thanked me for buying it for her!

Thank you for giving my daughter the pride to say she stopped the habit. Something she has been telling everyone as her eyes just beam with joy.

A long overdue testimonial

Mar 23, 2012 by Cheryl Garrison
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

It has been almost two years since I used the T-guard for my son. I still talk about how easy and great this device is. I have recommended it to our peditrician and our dentist, and everyone who I run into that is seeking a solution to this problem. My son sucked his thumb(s), either one, from birth to age 4. After using the T-guard(s), I had to use them on both hands, for 3 weeks, the habit was gone! He has not regressed into the habit even once since then, almost two years! And his teeth are not protuding as much as they were. His health is better, not sick as often, since he is not putting so many germs in his mouth. I just can't thank you enough for this product. The best money I have ever spent.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Garrison

I mentioned to my pediatrician that we were going to get the dental appliance and she handed me some information about your product. I purchased it on-line that day and started using it the day we recieved it. Within one week, she no longer needed it during the day, and within three weeks she was cured! I have sent your web-page to our dentist- I am a believer! Thank you very much!

ThumbGuard works!!!

Mar 23, 2012 by Lynn Ball
Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

This thank you note is many months overdue. But as I recommended the thumbguard to two more people this week, including my pediatrician, I decided a thank you note was in order.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

If I could shout it from the mountaintops, I would. Every dentist and pediatrician needs to be aware of your product and its effectiveness.

It worked, just as your material said it would. Three weeks of 24*7 wear, and we were done! No more thumbsucking! And after an additional month of no thumbsucking, my 3 year old daughter's (Aaron)mouth had completely changed shape. The teeth had all moved back into the correct position. I was amazed at how different her mouth looked, and so quickly.

The dentist was surprized with the change, as well. She double checked the notes that she had made at the previous visit about the condition of Aaron's mouth and teeth. I confirmed for her that her notes were, in fact, accurate and that the mouth had changed substantially.

WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT!!!!!!! Many families could be helped by the use of this product.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Are You A Dentist Or A Parent?: Parent 

I was very skeptical about this product but now I’m a believer! I was desperate to stop my 13 month old daughter from sucking her finger and hair-pulling. She had pulled out a very large bald spot and was sucking and pulling non-stop. I was worried the device would be too big (she is really tiny 15% on the growth chart), but it was very adjustable and didn’t restrict her motion. The first week my dad commented she was like a new kid, she was engaged with us, no longer withdrawn by her finger. We made her a sleeping shirt by sewing a long sleeve shirt shut and used that at naptime and night-time… I believe this also discouraged her from switching digits. We kept the guard on her hand during the day and removed it at night and used the sleep shirt. I was surprised how little the guard bothered her, especially since she was a constant sucker. Happy to say after 30 days, she is no longer sucking. We still use the sleep shirt to be safe and probably will for a few more months. The hair pulling is very minimal and I am so happy that her hair is growing back in and her teeth are starting to go back to the correct position. It really was perfect timing for us, THANK YOU T-GUARD!!!

Response: Thank you Melissa! We are very glad that our product was able to help you!

She forgot the habit completely, now she sleeps, plays, do everything without the need to suck any finger. The two first nights it was terrible, she cried a lot. But at the end it did worth the pain. Thanks everybody on TGuard.

We bought the thumb guard for our daughter which was recommended by her speech teacher. My husband and I were totally amazed how fast it worked, our daughter stopped sucking her thumb 1 month after using! Would recommend this product to any parent!!! This product should be renamed "Miracle Guard!!"

Thanks a million

Our 9 month old daughter sucked her two middle fingers all day long. We used this finger guard on her for 3 1/2 weeks and 24 hours a day and she gradually began to forget about her fingers. IT WORKS so I recommend it to people I see.

Response: Steph, Thank you for your review. Congratulations on your success!

Our 3 1/2 year old daughter sucked her middle 2 fingers of the left hand around the clock since she was 3 months old. We have been using the Fingerguard now for nearly 2 months. We began using it 24 hrs/day for the first seven weeks. I involved her as much as possible - picking out a band, washing the fingerguard, taping her fingers(because she would endure the pain of pulling her finger out of it), counting (in different languages!) the number of holes to get to the right setting, cutting the excess band length - anything to make it fun for her. Bedtime was extremely difficult for many, many weeks. She had to learn to fall asleep all over again, taking many hours at a time - and a lot of patience on our part. This slowing improved. She now requires it at night only. Day time is still going well. We will be staying with it as long as it takes. I think it is worth the effort. So nice to see her without her fingers in her mouth.
FYI.. I had this shipped to Canada. We paid an additional $40 to get it through Customs.

I was completely skeptical when I saw this product. I wanted to believe my 6 year old daughter would just stop sucking her fingers. I brought the product, and thought let's see. The first few days were horrible! She was on a mission not to wear it and I was on a mission that she was going to wear it. After the first week, we made a deal, as long as she kept her fingers out of her month, she only had to wear it at night. I was amazed, she was not sucking her fingers. I knew the real test was at night, where she had little control, but sure enough after 4 weeks she was not sucking her fingers. (she had misplaced it and I was sure she was going to suck if fingers again, she didn't. I found it the next day and had her wear it one more week for my sanity. She has been finger free. Her teeth have corrected themselves, and her blisters on her fingers are all gone. You have nothing to lose and your child has a lot to gain. IT WORKS!!!

This was amazingly easy!

My son is 2 1/2. I was very nervous to take his thumbs away at such an early age! But his dentist said that in her experience, most children don't grow out of thumb sucking. She actually recommended another brand, but that brand didn't fit his hand, so I found Tguard! Within 3 days he didn't resist me putting them on, at one week I could leave them off all the time except for before nap and bedtime, and after 2 1/2 weeks he was no longer sucking his thumb!!! The first week around naptime and bedtime were difficult for him learning how to go sleep without sucking, but now he passes out just as quickly as he used to! I would highly recommend these to any friend, family, or stranger!

Response: Dear Janelle, Thanks for the review! We are the original patented thumbguard, in business for over 15 years. Reviews like yours are what keep us going!!

Thank you T-Guard! My son is 9 1/2 and was still sucking his thumb. We tried everything from band-aids to bribery, nothing worked! Our dentist recommended this product, and, no joke, within 4 days he was no longer sucking his thumb. Truly amazing! Thank you!
