TGuard AeroFinger Anti-Finger Sucking Guard – Finger Sucking Prevention Kit, Deterrent to Stop Finger Habit, Washable Secure-Fit Guard for Toddlers, Small (Kids Under 40 lbs), Ages 2–4, Made in USA

The TGuard AeroFinger Anti-Finger Sucking Guard has been a huge help for our family. My child had a strong finger-sucking habit, especially during naps and bedtime, and nothing else worked. This guard is soft, lightweight, and surprisingly comfortable — my child adjusted to it quickly. The design is smart: it blocks the suction without hurting or restricting movement. After a few days, we already noticed a decrease in the habit, and after a couple of weeks, it was almost completely gone. The straps keep it secure, even overnight, and the material is easy to clean. I also appreciate that it comes with clear instructions and a progress chart, which kept us consistent. It’s not cheap, but the results are absolutely worth it. If you’re a parent feeling frustrated and out of options, this is an effective and gentle solution.

This thing worked great for my son! it’s thick, durable, and does come with fun colors bands to hold the item in place on their hands/wrists.It actually did the trick. It took about 30 to 60 days, but after that, he no longer put his fingers in his mouth, and the illnesses he used to get, stopped. I would recommend this for any parent who is struggling with getting their child to stop sucking on their fingers or putting their fingers in her mouth for comfort.

The only complaint is that I ordered the Large for my 10 year old and it's actually too big and a little uncomfortable on her, I think the Medium would've been better but at $60 each we are going to try to work with this one. Day one went okay, my daughter figured out how to slip the plastic off her fingers and suck around them, so we had to tighten the bracelet down more. But it does seem to be working and a great device when worn correctly.

It worked well. My child rarely sticks on their fingers now. They did admit to us that they could defeat the device if their hand was wet. But it worked.

Buyer beware: this will ABSOLUTELY impair your child's hand use! First of all, it is extremely thick plastic, WAY moreso than it needs to be, so it's difficult to bend (even as an adult) - unless your kid is the hulk. Second, the two fingers are FUSED together! Why?? Absolutely no reason. If the surrounding plastic keeps children from wanting to suck their fingers, why would the two fingers have to be connected to one another? Completely senseless, and again, doesn't allow the child use of those fingers. We'd noticed these issues ourselves, but the final straw was having a friend of ours who's a physical therapist caution us about trying to have the device on as little as possible - while 30 days will break a finger sucking habit, you'll have a whole other problem when your child can no longer use those fingers normally. Shameful and outrageous, especially for such an expensive product in the first place.

Our 3 year old was sucking his two middle fingers and it was starting to cause his teeth to shift. We tried everything, but nothing worked. Then I came across TGuard while looking for something else on Amazon, so we figured we would give it a try. It was very easy to use, and fit our kiddo's hand well without causing any skin issues. They were still able to do their normal activities while wearing the guard, and it held up well. The best part is - in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS he was done sucking his fingers and has not gone back!! This was just what we needed and are so pleased with the results!

Our son has been sucking his index and and middle finger since he was 4 month old (he's now 7). So, you can say, we had a long road ahead of us from the start. Being a Dental Assistant, I'm familiar with the different apparatuses use to stop finger sucking. They can look a little torturous. I came across the product years ago, and had always found it interesting, while considering it for our son as he was getting older and the finger habit continued. I finally broke down and purchased it. Besides, it is so much cheaper than a fixed mouth guard or Orthodontics. Well, let's just say, it was unsuccessful. The design itself, is great! It allowed our son to stay his active self without any slow down. He could still write, play sport, and aggravate his siblings. It was a rough couple of days at the start, but we were making good progress; or so we thought. Because he is such an aggressive finger sucking, we had him in it 24/7; with occasionally coming off during bathtimes. His dad and I felt we were making progress. Until one day we saw his fingers in his month with the guard still on. I was gagged! This clever boy had learned how to hold the guard and pull his finger out. No problem! We just put it tighter. Same result. We added two bands. Same result! Safe to say, he is still sucking his finger and the guard is MIA. I guess next step is a fixed appliance and possibly Orthodontic.

My son moves around a lot and the item did help stop his finger sucking habit but it not durable it easy to rip and break my won’t has had it for about 3 weeks and I already have to but a new one because of how ripped up and brokenit it the bands cut of civil action as well as cause cuts even if there loose product is good but do wish it wa snore durable than it is The damage in the photo was cause by my son playing out side and falling the plastic material ripped and continued the more he played through out the day I did end up just peeling it off since it does scartch him he no longer wear it for not while I wait for the new one to come in

I felt like I had to write a review as there has yet to be any Canadian reviews! My son began sucking his index and middle finger around 8 months old and we believed he would out grow it. We noticed it was becoming a problem when his first 2 fingers were becoming deformed/bent due to chronic sucking. I asked everyone you could think of for advice - parents, family members, social media, etc. I finally found my way over to this product on Amazon. It might not be as popular in Canada due to the price-tag, it cost us $150 Canadian and now I see it is $229 Canadian. *Note* (As per other reviews) the T Guard does not come with enough bracelets to make it effective IMO. We did order another set of bracelets from the T Guard company from Amazon for $100 CDN, so again another pricey item, however it is worth it if it can help stop the habit. We began the treatment at 23 months in the summer-time as I am a teacher and I knew I could commit the time and energy required. I will be honest -- sleep was TOUGH! It was pretty much 3-4 weeks of very poor sleep and napping as he was so used to self-soothing by sucking his fingers. I eventually had to re-sleep train him. It was some trial & error to help him sleep -- introducing stuffed animals, blankies, etc. We ended up doing treatment longer than 30 days as when he had the glove off he would still put his fingers in his mouth. We kept the glove on during the day for about 50 days and will now stick to only over-nights (we have lots of extra bracelets now to do this). I will add -- as a teacher, I wanted to approach this in a more 'holistic' way and incorporate social stories and figure out what my son's sensory needs are to really help him break this habit. And it helped! For example, I printed photos of my son doing activities that required his fingers and hands, e.g. "fingers are for riding your bike" we would read this story everyday and then he would be able to recite the mantra back. "Fingers aren't for sucking." So, if he began placing his fingers in his mouth we would be able to remind him what fingers are for. Secondly, I researched sensory needs and why children suck their fingers -- could be 'oral sensory seeking' or proprioceptive sensory seeking behaviours (look it up if you're interested!) Once you look more into it, you'll go down a rabbit hole, but this reminded me of my son ... so to meet his needs we would incorporate 'heavy work' before nap and bedtime, e.g. crashing into couch, carrying heavy items, etc. Lastly, we had my son choose the colour of bracelet he wanted to wear everyday. This helped him have more buy-in! We never treated the glove as a negative thing, also talked about his "super awesome glove" when people would ask. I think he only asked once or twice to have the glove off, other than that he was content wearing it. Finally, I read and re-read other people's reviews, especially four and five star reviews when I was feeling defeated from lack of sleep! Ha. Something that other people have mentioned is finding the right fit so it's not too tight or too loose. We found using athletic tape around the band helpful so it wouldn't bother his wrist and as the day wore on the bracelet loosened up and I never noticed he had any wrist issues with it digging in. All in all, the glove DID work for us. He's had it off now during the day and nap and there has been no finger sucking. I am going to keep it on overnights as he transitions to a new daycare this fall and that can be tough for little ones. Best of luck to other families trying this product, remember it's a commitment! But you can do it and it's worth it in the end :)

Ça la super bien fonctionné ici Un peux cher mais bon il faut ce qu'il faut

3.5 year old girl, finger sucker day and night. I am an ECE and ITE, so I see this often. We used this product for 2 weeks day and night, changing the band and cleaning it throughly before each night time. Then we went to just using it nightly for the rest of the month. It wow absolutely amazing. You need to go into this knowing that the first 3 days will be absolute garbage, they won’t sleep well, they’ll scream the first night and it will break your heart but that 3rd day it was completely different. I would suggest not changing it or taking it off at all those first 3 days but rather covering it with a glove or plastic bag when they eat or play messy. Make it fun, let them pick the band colour each time. The sticker chart that comes with it is great too. Our daughter worked towards a book and a stuffy and is so proud she gets it this weekend. This is 100% worth it to not need ortho care down the road. I have been recommending this product to every parent. Once your child gets use to it, they don’t even notice it’s there. If you need to take it off and don’t want to put it on again right away, I’d suggest a soft fluffy glove (the cheap ones from the dollarstore) to put it on that hand. My daughter liked to have that for a break sometimes in the 2nd week. Overall, I went in with zero expectations and I am so relieved it worked!

It seems a lot to pay ($150) for such a small piece of plastic only to see it falling apart in less time than it takes for the habit to be broken.

I wanted to take the time to applaud t guard on their incredible customer service. I had purchased the size small for my daughter (who is fairly petite) and although we couldn’t make use of the finger guard, they were excellent in making our return and refund an amazing experience. They were excellent to deal with and not only did they fully refund my purchase, they paid my shipping return as well. If you are hesitant in purchasing, don’t be! Because they are dedicated to your customer Experience. I highly recommend!
