My daughter broke the habit with this thing! I let her help me shop different methods online and T guard was what she ultimately chose. I’d say she wore it for about 2-3 months.

My daughter saved her two middle fingers, and it was a severe case of oral fixation. I talked to my pediatrician and they recommended this guard for me and it was a LIFE SAVER! Before this guard, my daughter was getting splitting in her skin and major discoloration. She even got Hand foot and mouth twice back to back. After 6 weeks with this brace she no longer sucks those fingers at all. She was still able to do her work in daycare and we were so grateful for this brace! I highly recommend it for stubborn fingers suckers.

Didn’t work for us. We have a thumb suckered and a finger sucker. Got both the thumb guard and the finger guards for our kids. Both kids manage to take them off no matter how tight we put it on.

The T-Guard was easy to use and came with great detailed instructions. I was hesitant at first thinking it wouldn’t work for my son but once we put it on it worked so well and quickly! After just a week my son completely stopped sucking his fingers! I’m so thankful that the T-Guard helped us help him break the habit before starting school.

Tguard worked wonderfully for us. Our three year old kept on sucking on her pointer and middle finger since she was a new born. We tried to wean her gently, by talking about it since she turned two. She understood, but kept doing it in her sleep. We switched to bitter nail varnish. Nothing. By the time she turned three, we decided to call the big guns. We ordered from the start two tguards, although she only used one hand, but we feared she will turn to the other one. She tried sucking on her thumb, we combined the tguards with gloves. Worked like a charm. We kept doing this everynight and nap for about three months. Then we started keeping them just at night and eventually removed them altogether. Now she sleeps without the need to put her hands in her mouth. The first weeks were unpleasant; she slept fussy, she was upset, no one slept. But eventually she managed. My only complaint is although i double checked, i had the unpleasant surprise to find out there were additional taxes for the eu. Usually, when i order from the us, i am either announced at the check out that there will be additional taxes or that there might be. Now, it seemed that if i choose the most expensive delivery, i am all good. I wished i would have been warned about this. You guys should find a friendlier provider for the eu, without all the hussle regarding taxes and forms. We are dentists and would gladly recommend them to out patients, but not everybody is desperate enough to spend approximately 250 euros on this.

The T-Guard worked great for my 4-year old! While he showed improvements after a few weeks, we kept going for the suggested 30 days and followed the sticker chart (with a reward at the end). Now we recommend it to everyone!
-
We followed the protocol perfectly with my 4 year old daughter, and she willingly wore it every night, and excitedly put on a sticker every morning, counting down the days to her prize. It’s been a couple months now since we finished, and no more finger sucking! The only downside is the cost (I’m in Canada, and it cost quite a bit after the currency exchange and shipping), but still definitely worth it!
-
We absolutely loved this for our 5 year old! Difficult for her to remove unlike other methods we tried but also gentle and not tight on her wrists. We found them to be breathable with no condensation on the device from sweating. Overall, very low maintenance way to stop thumb sucking!
-
Broke my Kiddos finger sucking habit that he had for almost 4 years! Couldn’t have gone better and he never complained about the guard it seemed comfortable!
-
I tried everything, then I used the finger guard. It worked! My little girl (3 years old) didn’t mind wearing it. And loved the star chart it came with. After two months the habit has been broken. Thank you, definitely recommend.
-
THIS WORKED! My daughter had such a habit of sucking her pointer finger and we had tried everything to break it. We tried bitter nail polish, bandaids, taping fingers together, etc. nothing worked. We used it and followed the directions and after two cycles she broke it! We were also super big on the sticker chart and even did milestone wins with her too. I recommend this to ANYONE.
-
Broke my daughter’s finger sucking habit in a month! One thing that definitely helped us was that she was excited to use her TGuard and ready to break her habit to be a big girl. When we were done with daytime treatment she would sometimes ask for her TGuard at night when she felt like she needed it. We’re so proud of how well she did!
-
It took a couple weeks, but our 6 year old who was a voracious comfort finger-sucker no longer sucks! He did have to be reminded not to chew on the guard, though.
-
I tried everything else. This worked!! Dentist said we needed to kick the habit by 3.5 yrs and this did it. My daughter got used to it quickly, liked choosing colors, wore it for a month and now we’re done with the finger sucking, still, even three months later.

I got this for my 2yrs old baby girl who started sucking her index finger out of the blue. Tried several things I found on the internet but nothing was working till I stumbled on Tguard. She was very upset initially but we persisted, day and night and even when she went to birthday parties and to nursery as well. We found that after her initial resistance, she settled into it alright. I noticed she struggled to bend/flex her fingers while wearing the Tguard, thus making her grip loose and she was dropping things or unable to hold it. I was worried this would be a problem given she was still ‘growing’ and we needed to stick to routine for 2 months as recommended on the pack. After about 4 weeks though, she’d figured out how to forcefully remove her finger from the guard even while strapped and clipped correctly. We then noticed that even though she was doing this, she was not sucking her finger anymore. We took the risk and removed the guard completely as we were worried she would hurt herself. It’s been 3 months since and looks like we broke the habit. Really grateful I stumbled on the Tguard cause it looks like it has really worked.

Website and delivery were great.

This product really does work. My 2 year old sucked her fingers since she was a baby and her teeth were coming in and it was affecting its shape with an open bite. The dentist recommended we stop the habit ASAP! Initially she was fussy because she could not self soothe but after 2 weeks she no longer cared for her fingers but we left it on for the recommended time of 6 weeks and now that habit is long gone and she no longer has an open bite! She is now 2.5 and the bite is closed and habit is gone.

It didn’t work the first time, but we got a new one about 18 months later, at my child’s request and it helped him finally kick the habit.

Worked well.
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 🙂
The thumb guard worked a miracle on our son! After 30 days, he completely broke his habit of thumb sucking, which I never thought would be possible. Thank you so much for making such an incredible product that actually works!
I was skeptical after reading reviews but my toddler stopped sucking his thumb after two weeks of using TGuard. One of the best purchases I’ve made!
This was a great tool for helping my daughter break the habit of thumb sucking. She started when she was one month old and we started the TGuard at age 6. She was ready to break the habit, so having her on board made it much easier to implement for the full recommended treatment time. She has successfully broken the habit thanks to the TGuard!
Absolutely amazing – it really works!
After years of trying different methods to help my 10-year-old daughter stop sucking her finger, this was the first thing that actually worked. Her dentist had noticed that the habit was starting to affect her teeth and recommended this product. My daughter herself admitted that she wanted to stop but just couldn’t. Thanks to this, she finally did! We’re so grateful. Highly recommended!
My daughter was 4, and very motivated. She was excited about wearing the thumb guard. It was comfortable for her and she was excited about the sticker chart. We actually did not need to compete the whole sticker chart before she had completely stopped sucking her thumb. Very happy with the results!
This worked! We used it for the recommended 30 days and our 3.5 year old quit the habit. He didn’t mind having it on at all. He enjoyed helping clean it and change the band every morning. It didn’t seem to hinder any activities or slow him down in anyway. It has been about 3 months since we stopped using the T Guard and he hasn’t sucked his thumb since! We are very happy with the results and I would recommend it to anyone with a child who sucks their thumb.
I was skeptical, but after about a month and a half of using t-guard at night, my 6-year-old daughter was able to kick her thumb-sucking habit! We did end up buying a second kit for her other thumb because she reported that she was sucking the other one. I never saw her do that, but I did have to tell her to stop chewing on the guard a couple of times.
She probably didn’t need the extra couple of weeks using the t-guard, but I just couldn’t believe it would be this easy since I remember my brother and niece having a really hard time. So, I used some other wristbands a couple of weeks beyond the set that came in the box and then once we tried taking it off she was good and we haven’t had an issue in the months since!
The TGuard device worked really well to stop my child from sucking his thumb. It took about a month of consistent use and a device on each thumb. I would recommend it to anyone with a child too young for the rake device installed by dentists.
Worked great for my 4 year old who sucked her thumb while sleeping. Wish it came with more bands, since she would suck her thumb while napping too, but didn’t need to wear it 24/7. Very effective though!
No, the guard did not work for my son. He is 4, I bought 2 guards because when we placed it on the thumb he sucked, he started sucking the other thumb. My conclusion is for the guard to work, the child maybe has to be younger and/or willing to stop the habit. I will not be trying anything for now, he will have to stop the habit by himself, I know I did too when I was a child.
Hi Zipporah,
We are sorry the treatment did not work for you. It is normal to switch to the other hand, and if the child is removing it, we would encourage you to send us photos in our help portal, to further assist you. You can visit us here: http://www.tguard.com/help
We should be able to prevent removal of the device.
Kind regards,
TGuard
It was very helpful in stopping our child from sucking their thumb. They don’t even notice it on anymore. Great product!
WOW, this was effective. I am so grateful that my daughter is so longer sucking her thumb!!! It was not a difficult process either!
My child was 3.5 years and i have tried everything to stop his thumb sucking but all in vain especially at night during sleep. But trust me with only 15 days of T-guard use, not only the habit is broken but now he dislikes taking his thumb back.
Thanks T-guard.
