Thumb Sucking is a habit that goes back to the womb. Therefore it is a habit that is hard to break. Although a comfort in times of distress or just a way to go night night it can cause damage to the upper palate. The pressure over time collapses the palate inward. Positive and fun thumb guards like our Glovey Huggey can help parents and children tremendously. There are tons of devices used as gentle reminders for little ones but none are as cute and affordable like the Glovey Huggey. Fun and funky colors make this thumb guard a winning concept for parent and child. Washable and comfortable this innovative guard goes over the thumb or fingers and gently reminds them that that’s not where the thumb or fingers go. Thumbguards can be a helpful way to tell the brain to stop thumb or finger sucking. Rewards and sticker charts are more positive reinforcements when used with the Glovey Huggey. Attention to thumb sucking over and over can often cause the habit to worsen. It is better to use positive but non attention drawing methods rather than nagging and belittling. Negative attention can make the habit worsen causing more damage and not just physically. The thumb guard is a great tool that causes no problems for the child.

Thumb sucking devices range in aggressive to very little pressure. The orthodontic aspects of not stopping the habit early can be costly. The Glovey Huggey is very affordable. A collapsed pallet must be expanded before teeth can be straightened. Not the worst thing to happen but if avoided by breaking the habit early its well worth it.

How to stop thumb sucking is based on the individual. Some use the habit for comfort. Others its just a plain and simple habit easy to dissolve with patience. A thumb sucking guard used with positive reinforcement is very effective. There are also thumb habit appliances that the dentist could use if the habit extends too long. They range from simple roller pin method to a hay rack that is a little more aggressive. The Glovey Huggey could reduce the chance of this happening. The orthodontic way can be expensive and most insurances do not cover them. Therefore trying the thumb guards is an easier and less expensive measure. Plus they look cool and kids will love all the different patterns and colors available. Children succeed with positive non-aggressive methods and both parent and child come out happier. Take the time and be patience with little ones. Encourage and succeed using thumb guards and a positive attitude. The glovey huggey is a great solution to stop thumb sucking.
