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.
-
It did not work for us. My daughter (5-6) chewed through 2. It was successful in reducing finger sucking, but as soon as we stopped using it, the habit returned. We found this product on our own Internet search, but my daughter was 5. I took her to 2 dentists and asked for help. I wish we’d tried this at age 3. Perhaps it would have been more successful.
-
Did not break the habit for us. No matter how tight we made it, our 4yo squeezed it off at night to suck her fingers. We tried multiple ties at the same time, and tightened it so much it left marks on her wrist. That’s when we gave up.
-
The device has not break the habit completely but there was a great improvement.
-
We tried everything for 1.5 years and tried the TGuard twice. Once my daughter was ready to try the second time it completely worked! Stick thorough the first week and you’ll get there!
-
Within a 2 weeks my 1 year old finger sucking habit was broken! It took some teamwork to get the device on but it’s worth the effort.
-
Worked very quickly on my daughter for daytime sucking. However, 2+ years later she still hasnt broken the overnight sucking habit. We’ve spent a lot of money on bracelets, replacement guards, etc. About to buy a whole bunch of new bracelets for her to wear for half a year and see how it goes…
-
It eally works 98%. Thank you very much. Your tip really works. Thanks, I recommend without hesitation.👍👍😍

Best $50 I’ve spent. I wish I would have found this for my 6 year old son sooner.
My son seems to have some sensory preferences so I wasn’t sure if this device would work for him. He put it right on and wore it a bit during the day but mostly overnight and has now completely kicked his finger sucking habit, a month later. I feel so lucky to have found a non invasive and non toxic way to help him break his habit. I highly recommend this product. -
It did not work for my daughter. She just switched hands. If it wasn’t so expensive I would order another one but the time it gets up to Canada it’s over $100
-
The tag that goes around the wrist is pretty sharp like plastic and digs into the child’s wrist and leaves a bruise. The gaurd itself is pretty stiff that wont let the child bend the palm or use the other fingers for anything. This stops them from using that hand when they need to write or eat. Developmentally thats a big downside in those early years when the child is getting used to using their hands more. Its almost like having a sling. When the gaurd needs to be put on all day, there should be some flexibility to be able to use the fingers to pick up items.
-
I wish I had gotten this sooner! It worked fairly quickly, obviously wearing it is key, setting the reward for the child upon completion. I would recommend this to anyone and would recommend they get it on their child asap!
-
This is our 3rd round of buying the bracelets and the habit is still not broken. Yes it helps to not put the fingers in the mouth but I’d hoped by now I wouldn’t have to continue buying these bracelets at $22 a pop.
-
It definitely worked for my little girl. She sucked on her index and middle finger backwards so we had to do something so her fingers would stop growing curved. It took her a little over a month to fully get over it, but it definitely worked for her. She hasn’t wanted to suck her fingers anymore since then.
-
My daughter sucked on her two middle fingers since she was an infant. We tried several things to try and break the habit and this was the only thing that helped! She’s 8 and has been going strong for over 3 months now. Highly recommend this product when they’re at an age they can understand and comprehend why you’re using this device.

Such a great tool. My child is 9 so we waited a long time before committing to a solution, but after a tough couple days to transition it has been so smooth. I highly recommend for any parents looking for a safe and compassionate way to help break the habit.
Incredible product. The first couple of days were hard on our 2 1/2 year-old, but it was so worth it. Has not even tried to suck his thumb once since we took it off a few months ago. Highly suggest!!
After two weeks of continuous use our daughter’s habit was broken and she hasn’t sucked her thumbs in 6 months! Highly recommend.
Worked!
Our little almost 3-year-old responded to this incredibly well! We prepared her for it by watching the intro video with her, and explaining how sucking her thumb wasn’t good for her anymore, so this was her, “big girl glove” to help her be done.
She was so on board, and even though she did get out of it a couple of times when we adjusted too loosely, altogether she had great buy-in. She accidentally put her thumb to her mouth once after the 30 days, quickly removed it, and she never sucked it again. It has been 3 months, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!!
Cut out thumb sucking for our 4 year who was hooked on the thumb. We tried everything and this is the only thing that worked, start here instead of messing with other products.
unfortunately this didn’t work for us. I was so hopeful. my 3 year old learned to bite the tip, stretch it up, and pull his thumb out underneath. we tightened the band and the side closure until he got marks, but he still was able to do it. Of we pulled either any tighter it would inhibit circulation. It seems like a great idea, I so wish it would have worked!
Hi Hannah,
Thanks so much for your feedback. One of our treatment specialists will reach out to you today, to discuss ways that this can be prevented. If a readjustment doesn’t do the trick, we have accessories we can provide which prevent the thumb from bending inside of the tube. This will likely solve this issue.
We hope to see your success soon!

Works like a charm!
We tried socks and tape etc prior but nothing had work and my son was very sad to stop sucking his thumb 😢. T guards made it a fun challenge for him, he earned stickers on the constellation and loved picking the colored bands each night. Earning even if they suck only one thumb buy two t guards one for each hand!! We loved our t guards!
We are so thankful for this product. My daughter’s thumb sucking habit was increasing and it was our goal to help her stop by the time she turned 3 years old. We followed the TGuard protocol and kept it on for 30 days/nights, which was easier than we expected. After 30 days, her thumb sucking completely stopped, even when she was sleeping. We will be recommending this product to everyone we know!
My 2.5 year old son would always suck on his thumb right before he would go to bed and while asleep all night. I used the thumb guard for 3 weeks straight. We had our nightly routine and after bath time, we would put the thumb guard on. The different color bands made it fun and he would choose which color band he wanted to wear each night. He didn’t give me a hard time at all during this process. I was going to have him wear the thumb guard for a whole month but he did so well for the 3 weeks and stopped sucking his thumb when I finally took it off for good. I am very pleased and hope it’s a success for all the parents out there struggling with a thumb sucking child. It’s definitely worth the try!
This worked very well…we did go 6 weeks instead of the normal 30 days. My 4 year old was very proud of himself, and he is still going strong. Although the first few days he grumpy; he improved after pictures and further explanations about the futue of his teeth. He also enjoyed choosing a color to put in the device.
