Stop the habit,
Bitener is an invisible, non glossy, topical, nail care formulation that effectively helps to break the habit of nail biting and/or chewing cuticles with only one application a day. The bitter flavour, using the world bitterest substance Bitrex, discourages nail biting.
What is nail biting?
Nail biting, also known as onychophagia, is an oral compulsive habit. It is sometimes described as a parafunctional activity, or the common use of the mouth for an activity other than speaking, eating, or drinking.
Nail biting is very common, especially amongst children.
The ten fingernails are usually equally bitten to approximately the same degree. Biting nails can lead to broken skin on the cuticle. When cuticles are improperly removed, they are susceptible to microbial and viral infections such asparonychia. Saliva may then redden and infect the skin. In rare cases, fingernails may become severely deformed after years of nail biting due to the destruction of the nail bed.
Stop the habit of Nail Biting
Habit Reversal Training(HRT), which seeks to unlearn the habit of nail biting and possibly replace it with a more constructive habit, has shown its effectiveness versus placebo in children and adults.
A study in children showed that results with HRT were superior to either no treatment at all or the manipulation of objects as an alternative behavior, which is another possible approach to treatment.
