Aligner removal has been made so much easier with the invention of a molded, plastic alternative, much like a darning needle called the aligner remover. This aligner removal tool is a simple, hands-free tool designed to conveniently remove aligners or retainers. It is made with food-grade materials that are BPA-free and phthalate-free and has a specially designed hook to help in aligner removal.

All you'll need is a little patience and some basic tips for removing your aligners without breaking a sweat! Let’s have a look at a few quick tips for you:

• Remove from the back: Instead of clawing and attempting to remove your aligners from the front, try removing them from the back. Pull the aligner away from your teeth by placing your aligner removal tool on the inside of your back molar. Repeat on the other side of your mouth, working your aligner remover towards the front of your mouth until your tray is completely removed.

• Don’t remove after a cold drink: Removing your aligner after a cold drink is more difficult than taking it out of a warm mouth. The plastic material becomes less flexible when exposed to a cooler temperature. As a result, it is more difficult to break its grip on your teeth. The most effective way is to remove your aligner when your mouth is at room temperature.

• Always use an aligner remover: An aligner remover, which resembles a crochet hook, is a tool that helps to remove your clear aligners easily. All you have to do is use this aligner removal tool and place it at the end of your aligner, gently lift it away from your teeth, and detach it. Use an aligner retriever with caution to avoid gum or tooth injury, as well as aligner damage.
