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.
-
It was a very difficult process for my 6 year old, but she was self-motivated and really just needed a tool to help her end her finger sucking habit. The T-Guard was just the right tool. The first week was very rough, but we stuck it out and she was done with the habit at the end of the month. In addition to the T-Guard, we utilized some bitter-tasting nail polish, which helped particularly at night time. It was an emotionally draining process for everyone but my kid was proud of herself at the end. I would recommend this product.

My child’s dentist told me about the Tguard website. My daughter had a stubborn finger sucking habit since an infant that she wanted to stop especially since it was affecting her permanent teeth cosmetically. The finger guard worked effectively, took a week to get use to and in about a month she kicked the habit. I highly recommend this product!
-
I highly recommend this product! My daughter continuously sucked her middle and ring finger…when she was bored, tired, sleeping, ALL the time. It only took 18 days to break the habit completely. It has been 3 months and she has never once reverted back to sucking her fingers. The product fit well and did not bother her at all.

We used the thumb guards first and that was successful but then our daughter started sucking her fingers so we got the finger guards but that was also successful! It’s been months now and we haven’t had any more issues! I am so grateful! Thank you! The only thing is, at first she was able to slide her thumbs/fingers out so it was hard to find the right tightness because it was too tight but not tight enough so that was a challenge. But overall this was a fantastic product and I highly recommend it!

It worked! I used for both of my children and neither suck their fingers anymore!
This worked great! It provided just enough resistance so our kids didn’t try to remove it. Our kids only sucked their thumbs at bedtime, so being able to remove it for school or other activities was better for them. The sticker chart and reward really helped motivate them, and within 30 days they stopped completely and haven’t since (it’s been months!) Every kid is different but I’d recommend trying it!
I had to use both sizes of the tee guard but the end results were acceptable. One of the problems experienced was any moisture on the hands causing chaffing. In the end I’m still working on my grandson not putting his thumb in his mouth but the occurrences are far far fewer.
Website and delivery were great.
We did end up having to get a thumb guard for the other hand so we did 33 days with one on each thumb and the habit was broken! Every now and then I see the tip of his pointer finger in his mouth but RARELY. We did this right before he turned 3 and I recommend doing it at that time or a little sooner because any older and he may have ripped the thing off. I’m very pleased and have 2 lore thumb suckers after him I’ll be using these same guards for. I’ll just buy more wrist bands.
I am so grateful for TGuard! It worked wonderfully for my child, and we saw results in about 1 month and 1 week. She absolutely loved being able to change the colors of the bands daily, which made the whole process more fun and engaging for her. After completing the program, there was about a week where she occasionally tried to suck her thumb for just a couple of seconds, but I would gently remind her not to, and that was enough. After that short period, she completely stopped and hasn’t gone back to the habit since. TGuard has been a lifesaver for us—thank you!
Cured my 9 year old in one excruciating night…But it worked!
I was optimistic, but it ended up not working. My daughter could either get it off, or complained that it was uncomfortable when in would put it on tighter. The bitter nail polish helped her kick the habit ultimately.
We had tried EVERYTHING to help our daughter quit sucking her thumb. The T-gaurd finally did the trick! We did get one for each hand and it took us around 20 days of wearing it but we did break her thumb sucking habit!
A few months before his 8th birthday, my son agreed to try T Guard. He had been sucking his thumb since he was 4 months old. It was a *very* ingrained habit. He did it at bedtime, when deep in thought, when anxious, when excited — you name it. At first he only wore T Guard for short periods at home, but then he started wearing it all day (and at bedtime) He wore it for about a month continuously and successfully broke the habit. It’s been a few weeks now and we haven’t seen him suck his thumb once — not even at bedtime or when he’s stressed. We are amazed and so proud of him.
I had high hopes that this would work for my daughter to help break her habit. Unfortunately she was able to pull her thumb down and out of the guard. I could not get it situated on her thumb where she couldn’t pull her thumb out without it being too tight and digging into her skin.
I wish someone had told us earlier about Tguard. My kid has completely stopped sucking his thumb. Those colourful bracelets made it more playful for the child. Love it!! Thank you so much!
We thought it was working well, however the perception was deceptive. The guard was rubbing my son’s skin raw in a few spots, so after about 25 days, we had to take a break. And within 3 days, he was back to sucking his thumb constantly. Once his skin was healed, we put it back on, and he chewed the tip through so he could reach his thumb. We are continuing to use it with hope and a prayer, as, despite these issues, this has been the tool in stopping his behavior. But, between rubbing his skin, the tip breaking/cracking open, and the cost, it just hasn’t been a great experience.
