What should i do to keep a thumb guard on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Explain: Are you referring to a thumb sucking guard? Several designs use velcro style closure or come in various sizes. How old is the wearer of this guard? You may need the larger style that has a wrist strap as shown in the photograph.
