Common conclusions

Applying a foul-tasting lacquer to the nails is one of the most effective ways to avoid nail biting and there are a variety of special nail polishes that have a bitter taste to them to prevent you from biting your nails.

A successful way to stop yourself from biting your nails is to do something else with your hands or mouth to redirect the energy into something else, for example, you might try keeping your hands occupied by playing with sandpaper, that can provide the sensory stimulus you need.

You will be less likely to bite your nails if you spend money to keep them looking good, so you should get regular manicures.

You should cover your nails either with finger toppers or gloves to prevent nail biting.

When your nails are long, you are more likely to bite them, which is why trimming them short will help you break the habit. If there are not enough nails for you to catch with your teeth, biting them will not be as enjoyable.

Great! You should keep your nails short. If there are not enough nails for you to catch with your teeth, biting them will not be as enjoyable.
