How TGuard works!

It's simple:
with no suction - their is no pleasure.

From birth, children possess an innate instinct to suckle for nourishment. Over time, this sucking sensation becomes intertwined with sensations of warmth and comfort, eventually offering its own source of pleasure.

While our thumb sucking guards don’t stop the thumb from entering the mouth, they effectively prevent the formation of suction, eliminating the pleasure associated with the habit. By removing the pleasurable sensation, children lack the motivation to persist. This stands as the fundamental distinction between our offerings and the fabric thumb-sucking gloves available in the market. Our approach to treating thumb-sucking is notably more efficient, aiding children in swiftly and comfortably overcoming the habit.

When children place dirty thumbs and fingers in their mouths, their likelihood of falling ill increases. Breaking the thumb-sucking habit leads to a decrease in the frequency of illnesses.

Bullies seize any opportunity to target their peers, and thumb suckers often become vulnerable victims.

Why should children stop thumb sucking in the first place?

Certainly the habit might look a cute … yet this habit carries potentially significant consequences. If left unaddressed, thumb sucking can lead to:

Extended sucking can impact the growth of both teeth and jaw, a condition known as “malocclusion,” which is serious.  Correcting this through dental procedures can incur costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Whenever your child places their thumbs in their mouth, they inadvertently introduce all the germs they’ve accumulated since their last thumb-sucking session. This can result in frequent illnesses.

Having a thumb in their mouth, children are less inclined to interact with adults and peers, thereby impeding their social development.

Thumb sucking becomes a convenient target for bullies, potentially causing significant social distress. Moreover, the stress resulting from bullying often drives children to suck their thumbs more, leading to a detrimental cycle of negative self-reinforcement.

Thumb sucking carries significant health risks for your child, and the extent of these harmful consequences is reliant upon the frequency and intensity of thumb-sucking behaviour. At best, this habit can lead to your child feeling socially isolated. At worst, it can result in extensive corrective dental expenses in the future, coupled with enduring challenges in self-esteem.

“. . . I had the opportunity to give this kit [T-Guard] to a 12 year old child that has sucked his thumb from birth. His habit has caused a significant change in his oral structures. His mom has tried everything including a fixed orthodontic device which he was currently wearing. He had had it for several months – his mom reports that it did not slow him down a bit. After four days with your TGuard appliance, the mom called ecstatic with glee because her son stopped his habit. . .”

“Even though my son was only 18 months old i wanted to stop his constant thumbsucking habit. i found your product through practicon dental supply. Initially i was very skeptical, but he quit sucking in about 3 weeks, the appliance was a little big for his hand but it still worked. Being a children’s dentist, i now have a relatively inexpensive resource for my patients.”

“I used your TGuard appliance on my six year old daughter. I had tried to curb her thumb sucking habit through educating her on its detrimental effects to her dentition. When she was willing to try and discontinue her habit, I tried using a fixed habit appliance. After 6 months with her fixed appliance she was still trying to suck her thumb. She was my toughest case. Then I used your TGuard thumb habit appliance. In 1 week I removed her fixed appliance. Within 3 weeks her habit completely stopped. Your appliance worked great. My daughter said it was comfortable and she found it highly effective in curbing not only her ability to suck her thumb, but also her desire to suck her thumb.”
