Hang it up. As a former thumb sucker, she isn't going to stop until she's ready. It's a security thing. And yes, I had teeth that stuck almost straight out. Thank god for braces. But NOTHING stopped me until I was ready. It was, like I said, a security/self comforting thing. And no way I would have worn something. How humiliating to a child who is already so stressed she still needs her thumb. Just my personal opinion. That and $5.00 will get you a cup of coffee!
I just reread your post more carefully (sowwy) and googled and found this:

It's just a glove with all the fingers cut out except the thumb.
