The Ultimate Guide to Inserting & Removing Your Invisalign Like a Pro!

Are you facing some attachment issues with your Invisalign? No worries, we've got your back! It's common to feel a bit challenged when putting in or taking out aligners with those sneaky attachments, but fear not - we've got some tips to make the process a breeze!

Now, Let's Get 'Em In

When inserting your aligners, it's important to start with your front teeth and work your way to the back. Once the tray is fully covering your teeth, use your thumbs to seat them firmly. If you still feel your Invisalign isn't 100% seated, use your chewies to seat them all the way.

It's important to remember NEVER BITE YOUR ALIGNERS INTO PLACE! This can cause the tray to bend or worse, break. No bitey, use chewies instead. We don't want you looking like a hockey player with a missing tooth!

It's also important to not force your aligners in. If your aligner isn't fitting right or feels funny, it may have folded. If this happens, take your aligner out and gently unfold the area back outwards before trying again. Forcing it is a recipe for disaster (and potentially a very expensive one).

Let's Get 'Em Out

Now for removing your aligners, you want to do the reverse: instead of starting at the front, you're going to start at the back and work your way to the front. You want to take your finger and "flick" the tray downwards. This will release the tray and make it easier to get a hold of. Repeat this on both sides of your mouth, once you feel the tray has been released, grab both sides and gently pull down and forward over each tooth.

Like most things in life, excessive force is never necessary. If you try to forcibly remove your aligner, you could tear the aligner or even break off attachments on your teeth. And let's be real, no one wants to be that person at the orthodontist's office.

Pro-tip Alert:
For an easier removal process, aim for a drier mouth. Try not to sip on any drinks right before taking out your aligners for a smoother experience.

So there you have it - mastering the art of inserting and removing your Invisalign is all about finesse, patience, and a sprinkle of know-how. Say goodbye to attachment woes and hello to a seamless Invisalign journey!
