What should I do if my child is able to remove his / her finger from underneath the FingerGuard?
A. The child is able to remove his / her finger from underneath the FingerGuard when the appliance has not been adjusted correctly. This occurs when the bracelet has been inserted through the row of slanted holes that is too low (or far from the tube). To correct this problem, simply thread the bracelet through a row of slanted slits that is higher on the appliance (or closer to the tubes). -Begin by locating the two extensions. Thread the bracelet through the row of slits that places the bracelet slightly above the wrist, near the base of the hand. Repeat on the other side. – Pull down the appliance so that the bracelet surrounds the thinnest part of the wrist. When you fasten the bracelet, it is unnecessary to make it tight because the tension in the appliance depends on the row of slits chosen. – An additional step can be taken to assure that the child is not able to remove the device. If there is a reasonable amount of space/clearance between the finger and tube, you can use a band
