This thank you note is many months overdue. But as I recommended the thumbguard to two more people this week, including my pediatrician, I decided a thank you note was in order.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
If I could shout it from the mountaintops, I would. Every dentist and pediatrician needs to be aware of your product and its effectiveness.
It worked, just as your material said it would. Three weeks of 24*7 wear, and we were done! No more thumbsucking! And after an additional month of no thumbsucking, my 3 year old daughter's (Aaron)mouth had completely changed shape. The teeth had all moved back into the correct position. I was amazed at how different her mouth looked, and so quickly.
The dentist was surprized with the change, as well. She double checked the notes that she had made at the previous visit about the condition of Aaron's mouth and teeth. I confirmed for her that her notes were, in fact, accurate and that the mouth had changed substantially.
WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT!!!!!!! Many families could be helped by the use of this product.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased (and amazed!) I am with your product! We have tried everything to stop my 7 year old daughter's thumb sucking habit to no avail. I mentioned to my pediatrician that we were going to get the dental appliance and she handed me some information about your product. I purchased it on-line that day and started using it the day we recieved it. Within one week, she no longer needed it during the day, and within three weeks she was cured! I have sent your web-page to our dentist- I am a believer! Thank you very much!

Yesterday I ordered a replacement thumbguard on-line as my daughter broke her original. A gentleman called me today to clarify the order. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to provide such excellent customer service. I have recommended your product to many people because I think it is a wonderful product. Now I will include a glowing recommendation of your customer service as well! Thank you! |

It has been almost two years since I used the T-guard for my son. I still talk about how easy and great this device is. I have recommended it to our peditrician and our dentist, and everyone who I run into that is seeking a solution to this problem. My son sucked his thumb(s), either one, from birth to age 4. After using the T-guard(s), I had to use them on both hands, for 3 weeks, the habit was gone! He has not regressed into the habit even once since then, almost two years! And his teeth are not protuding as much as they were. His health is better, not sick as often, since he is not putting so many germs in his mouth. I just can't thank you enough for this product. The best money I have ever spent.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Garrison

My baby is 2 years old
and has been sucking his finger, day and night, since the day
he was born.
He was hurting his thumb, but thanks to your
treatment, my baby doesnt suck his finger anymore. I
entered Univision.com, which is dedicated to mothers
and children, and i gave them the name of your
company, because i want to help them the same way that
you have helped me with this fabulous treatment.
In the name of my husband, we are so thankful for this
fabulous invention. |

Can't thank the people at MED et al Development enough. My daughter,
Emily, started wearing the Thumbguard on January 22, 2002 and
is already celebrating several triumphs. She now goes all day
including nap times without wearing the device. She only needs
it at bedtime and that is soon close to an end.
But before you can understand our excitement in our household,
you have to understand how severe her habit was up until we started
the treatment. Emily is 5 years old and has sucked her thumb
ever since our first ultrasound of her early in the pregnancy.
We tried many options over the course of the past year only to
face failure and to reluctantly go back to watching her suck
her thumb.
The price I paid for the Thumbguard was the best money I spent
thus far this year. She has even thanked me for buying it for
her!
Thank you for giving my daughter the pride to say she stopped
the habit. Something she has been telling everyone as her eyes
just beam with joy. |

I just wanted to let you know that the T-guard was amazing.
My son sucked his thumb before he was born. After his third birthday,
I knew something had to be done. I ordered the T-guard. After
viewing the video, I attempted to put the device on his thumb.
Needless to say, I didn't do it correctly and he pulled it off.
His exact words were 'I guess you need to look at the video again.'
It took a few times but I was successful. After about 4-5 weeks,
my son was no longer a thumb sucker. I have recommended the product
to anyone who would listen. As a matter of fact, my daughter
and I were talking and she'd even forgotten that he had ever
sucked his thumb. Again, Thank-you for developing a product that
is moderately priced and works miracles. |

Just wanted to say that I was completely surprised and shocked
that my 4 1/2 year old daughter finally stopped sucking her thumb
thanks to T-Guard. She wore them for 3 weeks in December 2001
at night only. I had tried every possible thing I had heard about,
to no avail. I was skeptical as she had a die hard, serious habit.
We had made some progress behaviorally since age 3 by telling
her she was welcome to suck her thumb but she must do it in her
room. Therefore she pretty much gave it up during the day. She
still sucked her thumb when she got sleepy in the car, for naps
or bedtime. She WANTED to stop, she would try for about 15 minutes
at night and then cry because she was so exhausted while fighting
this huge urge to suck her thumb. The T-Guard took away her need
to fight the urge and the inner conflict. It simply helped her
break the habit. She was so happy with herself! I wish I knew
about these when she was 2!
I would add that I promoted T-Guard to
her from the beginning as a special, beautiful bracelet for
girls who want to have "princess
teeth." I showed her the picture of the girl wearing it
on your website and told her she was going to be a big girl just
like the girl in the picture. We told her after wearing this
special bracelet her teeth would not stick out anymore and she
would have "princess teeth." Finally, when she wore
the last bracelet and had not sucked her thumb for a whole month,
we rewarded her by buying her a "big girl bed." She
was so proud of herself. We gave her lots of positive encouragement
and praise along the way. I'm totally surprised that only a few
months later, her teeth have moved back to a normal position
and do not stick out at all. They are completely in line with
her other teeth and her smile looks so much prettier. So wanted
to say thank you again and let you know that your product worked. |

Dear Mr. Zilber,
I wanted to thank you and your company for creating the Thumb
Guard product. It helped my daughter (finally) stop sucking
her thumb at the age of four. Not only is your product second
to none, but your customer service is, as well! I truly appreciated
you following up with us individually and helping us with our
questions. I will recommend your product to anyone I know who
needs it. It worked wonders. Thank you again. |

My name is Tami Burgeson and I have a 10-year old daughter who
sucks her thumb. We have tried everything from the bandaids,
sports wraps, mittens, gloves with watches wrapped around the
wrist. Nothing has worked. Two years ago our dentist, (who is
a family friend) suggested the mouth appliance. So, for 3 months
she wore it until her gums started growing around the metal.
He immediately took it out. For a year we tried all those other
things mentioned above AGAIN. No luck, unfortunately. Last week
he insterted the mouth appliance in her mouth again. Not only
is it uncomfortable, it's hard to play the saxophone and do well
in voice lessons. We feel like we are punishing her for something
that she doesn't know she's even doing. She only sucks her thumb
at night but it is obvioulsy affecting her teeth. Tonight I sat
down at the computer and found your product. I will fax my information
tomorrow morning and the faster you can get this miracle product
to us, the happier our 10 year old will be. Also, I am going
to our dentist tomorrow to ask him to take the mouth appliance
out as soon as possible! You have given us new hope! I thank
God I found you! |

I wanted to let you know that your Thumb Guard was very succesful!
The colorful bracelets helped my child to be very excited to
have the Thumb Guard put on every night. She would try to match
her pajamas to the color of the bracelet. After six years of
thumb sucking, she is now putting herself to sleep at night with
no thumb sucking! Thank you for taking the emotional energy and
drama out of changing this habit. |

I wanted to thank you. My son Quincy has sucked his thumb from
the "Very Beginning"!!! He didn't even know 80% of the
time that it was even in his mouth, it was such a habit. He is
10 years old. He would get very upset with himself, but as he would
say "My thumb just pops in my mouth!" I searched the
internet to find help for him, and read about the T-Guard. With
the help of my dentist, we ordered it. He wore it day and night
for 20 days. He has not sucked his thumb since. It has been 3 months
now. He is more outgoing and has more confidence in himself than
ever before. Thanks!!!! |

Even though my son was only 18mths 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.this is not a
paid testimonial!

... The T-Guard is revolutionizing the way I treat patients
with a thumb sucking habit. I no longer use an intraoral appliance
when I can use the more effective extraoral T-Guard.
Dr. Steven Yarmosky, D.D.S.
. . . I tried it first on my four year old daughter . . . Though
I was extremely pleased by her immediate breaking of her thumb
habit, I was even more amazed by her personality change: happier,
more confident, more outgoing and more interactive with her siblings
and friends. . .
Dr. Jay Levitt, D.D.S.
. . . 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 appliance [T-Guard] the mom called ecstatic with
glee because her son stopped his habit. . .
Dr. Kyle Jackson, D.D.S.
. . . I used your appliance [T-Guard] 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 T-Guard 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. . . |
