Chop some garlic into small pieces then put then in a clear nail polish. Wait a few days before using that way the clear nail polish will absorb the garlic. The garlic will help them grow and the smell and taste will keep them away from your mouth. Use it everyday.

I used to bite them without realizing so put on bright color nail polish so when I went to unintentionally bite them, I would realize what I'm doing.

My habit was so bad that my nails will be bleeding. What helped me were 1) be aware of what triggers the habit (ie. stress, boredom) and 2) do my own nails everyday. For me, I would spend 10-15 minutes a day to clean my nails, trim if it gets too long for your nail bed (it will chip more if it's too long) and paint a single coat of nail growth polish (my fave is Sally Hansen). By doing this, you become more appreciative of your nails. It will take at least a month to see results, but I really broke my 28 year old bad habit. Here's a picture of my nails after 3 months.
