“. . . 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 TGuard appliance, the mom called ecstatic with glee because her son stopped his habit. . .”

“I used your TGuard appliance 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 TGuard 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.”

How does TGuard help stop thumb and finger sucking?
It’s simple:
no suction = no reward.
Thumb and finger sucking create suction that helps make the habit soothing and rewarding. TGuard’s soft, ventilated design allows air to enter around the thumb or fingers, disrupting that suction while providing a physical reminder when your child tries to suck. With consistent use as directed, the familiar behavior becomes less satisfying, helping your child leave the habit behind.
For most children, the habit is broken in less than 30 days.
Peace of mind —
built into every TGuard thumb and finger guard.
TGuard is a purpose-designed medical device developed to help children discontinue persistent
thumb and finger sucking habits – without immobilizing the hand or elbow.
