I was wondering what could i do to help me stop the thumb sucking habit

Q. Hello I have a problem with thumb sucking and I have tried to quit countless of times and I was wondering what could I do to help me stop?

A. It really depends on how old you are and when you such your thumb.  You can have a removable appliance made which has slightly sharp points placed on the palate so when you go to suck your thumb you get a sharp shock! It sounds awful but it does work.
