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 a comfortable and ergonomic fit that will fit on your child's hand like a glove. Ventilated 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 habit. Please note: Most children switch from one thumb to the other, when you apply the TGuard. For that reason, we recommend purchasing two treatment kits, one for each hand. To find out more about TGuard Technology, and how our products work to stop the thumb sucking habit, check out our TGuard Technology page. If you have any questions, please visit FAQs for more information.

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!

Ashley – December 18, 2019

This thumb guard really worked for my 18 month old son! The first night was rough because he goes to sleep while sucking his thumb but he adjusted real quick (within days). He would actually come up to me and give me his thumb when he saw me take it out his backpack. In addition, he started babbling more then he was before which I am super happy about. The only reason why I didn’t give this review 5 stars is because it fit him a little big.

Addie – October 29, 2019

It worked! My two and a half year old was an avid thumb sucker. When he was sleepy, hungry, cranky, tired, moody, etc etc. We purchased the aero thumb guard and follwed the directions. The first 2 nights were horrible. Like someone else said, it was as if he was a crack head going through withdrawal. But once we got passed that if was a breeze. He wore it for a month and a half. We only purchased one and thankfully he never switched to the other thumb. So far it's been almost 2 months and he has not gone back to thumb sucking. And his teeth are falling back into place. I highly recommend this product and this company. Very strong product and well made.

Ava – October 16, 2019

This is amazing !!!! My husband and I decided to give this a try and let me tell you the first attempt we failed because we started it without a plan and our son within the first week he started sucking the other thumb. He is now 2 and we wanted to give it another try, this time we had a plan. The first week was the hardest. He would cry especially at nights because it was his comfort. The great thing was this time he did not try to suck the other thumb. The plan was to only take it off to clean and replace fresh band when he was asleep. We didn't want him to have access to the thumb not even for a second because that would have defeated the purpose . On day 19 we took the T Guard off to see how he would react and he went through out the entire day without sucking his thumb. It is officially 3 weeks and so far so good.

MJ – November 20, 2018

I can not thank you enough. My 4 year old had the tguard on for 7 days . And she is not longer sucking her thumb. Now I am sending one to my sister in Argentina for her son. She can not find anything like the tguard. My sister is desperate for her son to do this treatment, because it was a total success for my daughter.
Also, my daughter’s pediatric dentist is sharing my daughter success to other patients.
Thank you very much,

I would pay $50 two more times for the results I received from my 21 month old after just 5 weeks of wearing this product. This was more than 3 weeks ago and he is a non-thumb sucker now. He didn’t fight it or try to remove it. I clipped a little of the end off so he’d have more dexterity. I wouldn’t have minded him thumb sucking for comfort but he was so aggressive with it that he had already shifted one of his front teeth. His pediatric dentist recommended this to us and was happy to hear we had already ordered it. We put it on him day and night and only removed it briefly for washings. My son was a very committed thumb sucker too. All of our pictures include his smile being blocked by his hand ( as he sucked his thunb), he was even doing it in his ultrasound photos. I’m very pleased with this product and recommended it without reservation. I really didn’t think his habit could be broken in 5 weeks, but he doesn’t even do it at night as a reflex and has not even resorted to it after beginning preschool for the first time last week! Best $49 I ever spent! Don’t put this off. Try it. My son’s vocabulary and speech has even improved as a result of not having his thumb in his mouth all the time!

Stephen – August 18, 2018

Gave the AeroThumb guard a try on my 2-year old daughter, and while it definitely prevented her from thumbsucking her preferred thumb (left), on the 2nd day she'd switched to the other (right). Looks like I should've bought two instead of just one. But it makes me think that she'll switch to some other finger if I do. *Sigh*. The thumbsucking saga continues...

Tiana Rogers – August 9, 2018

This is an updated review. After my first review the company was in contact with me and when I sent pictures of what my child's thumb gaurd looked like after my kid chewed it up, they were kind enough to send me a replacement. We still have to use a mitten when she's feeling overly distressed, napping or in the car for longish rides, and keeping it clean is a challenge, but she isn't chewing her gaurd anymore and she is more conscious about not sucking her thumb. We will see how things go when she starts school, because despite what the website says, she cannot use her hand properly to open things up or write so she will not be wearing it when she is in school. I think it is working though because she will often bring us her mitten and tell us she needs it on to remind herself not to suck her thumb and she will start to chew on her nails and then stop and berate herself and not chew again. As with all products it works better for some children but not others, if other options haven't worked, try this one.

Flo Tefteller – August 3, 2018

My 3 years old girl started sucking both thumps when she was three months. I couldn't get her to stop. The pediatrician told me about the tguard. I had my doubts that it was going to work. The first days were rough for her as far as napping and bed time but after the first week, just like a magic she stopped ducking both thumbs. I gave her breaks of the tguard so I could see of she was progessing...after 2 weeks she no longer wears the tguard. No more thumb sucking. She enjoyed choosing her band colors, and even ask me to place the tguard in her fingers. Every time she see a picture of her sucking her thumb she will say...no more dedo "finger"
Este producto hace maravillas. Mi niña de tres anos se chupaba el dedo desde los tres anos. Ya se le habia deformado la dentadura y sus pulgares de las dos manos. El pediatra me dijo del tguard e investigue a profundo. No la pensé dos veces. Después de dos semanas de seguir el plan, mi niña ya no se chupaba sus pulgares para nada. Ni siquiera para dormir que era lo que más le gustaba hacer antes de dormir. Lo recomiendo 100%. Las bandits de colores, las pegatinas con el calendario lo hacen superior divertido para los peques. Fácil de poner, quitar y lavar.

Thank you TGuard! I know my son will thank me when he’s older for making the wise choice of purchasing this amazing treatment.
It’s been over a month since I removed it and he has completely forgotten about sucking his thumb!

Rami – May 8, 2018

I bought this for my 3 year old. She started to suck her thumb from the day she was born. I tried lot of things to get rid of this habit. At last I found this TGuard, read all the reviews and I thought why shouldn’t I give it a try? Then I bought 2 of them. In one week I could see a lot of difference. She stopped sucking during day time. Then she almost took another 2 weeks to stop in the night. After that I stopped using the Product. I am very happy I found this product and I would recommend this 100%.

My son has been sucking his thumb since 6 moths old and now he is 2 years old. I had tried many things for him to lose the habit but nothing worked. He used the Tguard during full 30 days and he has not sucked his fingers since then. I'm from Brazil and we are very happy, thank you!

New and recommended! Our redesigned FingerGuard is finally here, and is guaranteed to break the finger sucking habit in a way that maximizes comfort. Meet AeroFinger®, the newest version of our highly successful finger sucking kit.

Kit Contents

Each kit comes with everything you need to stop the finger sucking habit. This includes:

Sizing Chart

SIZE CHART: Age / Weight	Age: 0 to 4 (under 40 lbs)	Age: 5 to 6 (between 40 and 55 lbs)	Age: 7+ (more than 55 lbs)
Recommended Appliance Size	Small	Medium	Large

The chart shown above will work for the majority of children. If your child is in between sizes (for example, an almost 5 year old who weighs 40 pounds), choose a smaller size if you expect the child to resist the treatment. Also, consider the child's height: if the child is very tall for their age, use a smaller size, since their fingers tend to be longer and thinner. The only important parameter in sizing is the diameter of the finger in regards to the tubes. 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.

S. – August 12, 2019

My daughter was diagnosed with leukemia 1 week after her second Birthday. With the low immunity, any small opening of the skin can become a big infection. The finger sucking habit became an issue when she repeatedly had to be put on antibiotics because of those little wounds in her fingers. We are so pleased with the Aerofinger, she is off the antibiotics now! I just wish the bracelets were less expensive. She uses many per day as we have to wash her hands very well to prevent infection. The recommendation to wash hands while wearing the device doesn’t work in her special case. Make those bracelets cheaper! Too many medical bills to pay here!

Joe – June 18, 2019

My 2.5 year old boy used it. The first night was so heart breaking watching my boy hating the guard. But after 3 days, he was ok with it. It’s really up to the parents to stick with the plan! Our boy worn this for 2 weeks straight, and the figure sucking habit was completely gone. He is 4 now, and he doesn’t even remember once upon a time he used to suck his fingers all day.

Great product! My 22 month old was sucking his index and middle finger constantly. He threw fits the first day we put this on but was compliant after that. He wore it about 22 hrs a day for 7 days and does not even act like he remembers how to suck his fingers anymore. I highly recommend!
