I wish mine was this easy. The attachments make it so difficult!

Got my Invisalign the other day and I struggled so much to take it off, especially the upper one. My boyfriend had to take it out for me as I couldn't do it alone. It doesn't help if you bite your nails either lol

This worked like a charm for me and the upper one came off in a second! Thank you so much Dr!!! I can have my coffee now lol

Omg that worked. Thank you. I was in so much pain trying to pull it down

He makes it look so easy I tried it and I thought my teeth were going to come out I was so scared 😭 I got bands too I didn’t even know that was an option! First day and my mouth is tired ! Beauty hurts

Its not that easy if you have a lot of attachments. It feels like they are going to break when taking them off

Just in case you haven't been hearing it lately...Thank you so much for the effort you put into helping others across the globe ❤

OMG, thank you! You just saved me from public humiliation for tomorrow at school, I just got them! 😊🙏

Does it get easier over time, as I am having some real struggle getting my top ones off. Every time I try this technique, my aligner attaches onto my front teeth

[peiching]

Im gonna give it a try and hopefully it will work for me. Its been extremely hard for me to remove it especially the top ones. So much pain 🥴🥺😓
I did not expect it would be this painful wearing aligners. 😭😖

[jirian]

i wish it was easy as that. but its so much harder and painful to get them out bc my orthodontist put so many attachments on my teeth .😭

I was in the wingstop bathroom highly irritated trying to take these off to EAT as I was starving all day ! First meal at 6pm. Thank you.

[sushiimwmi]

its not the aligners that are the problem, its the load of saliva that comes out while taking the aligners off 😭😭😭😭

This was very helpful. My son had trouble, saw this and WALA! He did it. Thanks!

[BlanketsAndLions]

I just got my retainer yesterday, saving this for when I wake up late for class and need to try to pull these out asap

[dcaramelone]

Omg thank you. Just got aligners last Thursday..they gave a little tool but this method is a lot better

[karlavan]

Thank you!!! First time removing and struggling. This worked!!

[eli]

Omg I’m breaking my nails to remove it. It’s so hard😩

[SweetAngelPinay]

I was just given a hook to use if I have a difficult time pulling them off with my finger. It’s so useful!

wish it was that easy! I had 5 attachments in the front. With each new aligner it was impossible and painful the first new week. The best way I found is to pop it off one side in the very back (like he did) but I used my middle finger for top aligner/thumb for bottom on the outside edge (between the cheek and teeth) and then I pop off the other side in the very back the same way. Then to get it off the front teeth with the attachments, I pull the aligner in an "up and out" sort of diagonal motion starting on one back (already released) outside side and working my way to the other. Which side you start from on this is personal preference or what is easier depending on your situation. Basically, once you release the back on both sides, you have more "play" in the aligner to get it off the attachments. Hope that helps.
