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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. -

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!

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.

Follow instructions and it works like magic! You may want to take it off early, but stick it out and have them wear it the whole time recommended.
Worked great for my grandson! Highly recommend!
After 5 years of thumb sucking, our son was able to break his habit after 3 months of wearing the thumb guards. Everyone, including my son, is happy with the results.
Tguard worked amazingly!! My daughter accepted it and enjoyed picking the colours each day. She couldn’t get it off which she was able to do with all other options on the market. It broke the habit in just over 2 weeks.
This was amazing for my 7 year old daughter. We were told when she was younger to not make a big deal of it and hoped the habit would go away on its own. When she started school, she refrained in public but would still suck her thumb at home, in the car, and especially at bedtime or when trying to sleep. We tried the nail polish to no avail and tried gentle and positive encouragement. I wish I would have tried this sooner! She was excited to pick out the color of wristband each night and help put it on as well as adding a star to her chart each day. We only had to use it at night, as after she started using it then she wasn’t tempted during the day, even when home. We used it for 30 days and had a big prize at the end, but it seemed like within 7-14 days, she would have been fine without it. We have had no issues since! Very happy with this product!
After trying many things and incentives with no success, TGuard worked! It went very smoothly.
Yes! It worked like a charm. The first couple of nights there was a bit of a struggle, but the little got used to it quickly and after two weeks they no longer even wanted to suck their thumb. We did the whole 30 days just in case!
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!!
