In Boot Camp, Marine recruits had to wear gloves 24 hours a day. You got over biting your nails to the nubs real quick.

If it really OCD the behavior will just transfer to doing something else compulsively like nose picking, or hand washing .

Yes, some of his clients habitually bite their toe nails, including one man in his 40s, Van Abbe said. "If you start young, you stay flexible."

For the longest time I couldn't figure out why my middle child's nails and toenails never needed to be cut. Come to find out, he bites his nails and toenails--he's only five but he's done this since he was a toddler.

I'm also trying to market my treatment for the affliction of nail biting. I put you in this little contraption. And one of my orderlies wheels you to your office at your job, or wheels you between your courses at college. Like the mouth guard you only have to wear this for a month long treatment.
