Sit on your hands.
Seriously... they won't be in your mouth...
What about wrapping your fingers in the sticky micropore cloth tape that is used to bind up injuries. Sticky thin fabric.
My mom is known to put black electrical tape around her fingers when they are getting hurt in the field.

I tend to bite my nails while watching a movie. I have ADHD and it is REALLY hard to sit still for long(er) periods of time. I tend to take my anxiety out on my fingers. I used to chew my nails. When I am under a lot of stress, I tend to "mutilate" my fingertips. I pick at the skin around the nail and they get all red/cracked/sore. You really have to focus your energy elsewhere. It drives Will nuts, but when we are watching a movie, that is my best time to sit down and paint. It manages my anxiety, and I can shift my focus from painting to the movie (a bonus of ADHD )
