Stop Mavala / Stop Biting Your Nails / Thumb Sucking Guard

Adults and children often have the habit of putting their fingers in their mouth.

And Stop Mavala makes it possible to stop this unwanted habit.

People chew on their nails because they are nervous.

Children suck on their thumb because it is soothing and relaxes them.

Whatever the reason, prolonged chewing and sucking can have a negative effect on the fingers and mouth.

Stop Mavala can stop the prolonged chewing or biting of the fingernails.

Biting your nails can cause your finger tips to become red and sore.

It can also cause your cuticles to bleed and nail bed infections.

Since the fingernails are put in the mouth, it can also increase your chance of mouth infections and colds.

Long term biting of the fingernails can affect your normal nail growth and also cause deformed nails.

It's important to use Stop Mavala to help your child stop sucking their thumb before any serious changes take place.

If your child doesn't stop sucking their thumb before their permanent teeth come in, you may have to deal with some permanent problems.

Your child can experience facial changes, buck teeth, or a lisp.

Thumb sucking can push the front teeth out and may cause a need for braces later.

It can also affect the child's speech patterns and can reduce their self esteem.

When using Stop Mavala with children, it is important to start out with a drop or small amount on the thumb nail, not a full application.

Some kids have thrown up after tasting it so start out slow.

This product worked immediately. I wish I had known about it sooner. I used it on my 4 year old son who was a thumbsucker. He had a callous on his thumb from sucking so hard and I was beginning to see that his teeth were sticking out. Along with applying the clear polish, I used lots of praise and gave my son extra attention for a couple of weeks. He was very proud of himself for stopping. I am hoping that this little investment saved me some money on braces and speech therapy.

We tried every behavior modification we could think of, then tried ones we read about, then consulted a dentist. Nothing worked, be it positive-only reinforcement or otherwise. Our 4 year old daughter couldn't stop sucking her thumb.

While we are usually quite skeptical of simple sounding remedies, I can honestly say this is the closest thing to a miracle drug I've seen. Overnight it stopped. She cried once when she didn't think about it and put her thumb in her mouth. That was it. We are going on 4 weeks now. Unbelievable.

This product does what it says it will do - STOPS NAIL BITING & THUMB SUCKING! I've tried many other products to try to keep my 2 yr. old son from biting his nails because he sees his father doing it. This is the ONLY product that works! If only I could get his father to put it on his nails! Definitely would recommend this to anyone who's needing to keep the fingers out of the mouth!
