One of the biggest early barriers people tend to face is taking out their aligners quickly and easily. If you\u2019re in that situation, don\u2019t worry\u2014you\u2019re far from alone. There are plenty of things you can try to make taking out your aligners as easy as possible. Here are a few of the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Warm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One reason your aligners could be hard to remove is if you\u2019ve just been drinking cold water, or if it\u2019s cold outside. A drop in temperature can cause your aligners to contract, which naturally makes them harder to remove. If you\u2019re having trouble taking off your trays, try letting your mouth warm back up beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start From the Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People\u2019s first instinct when removing their aligners is to pry them off from the front, but it\u2019s actually considerably easier to start from the back. Try taking your aligners off of your molars and work your way forward, or start with just one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a Grip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the largest barrier to removing your aligners is how slippery they tend to be. If you need to get a grip, you might try using a paper towel to grab onto your trays. Latex gloves can also be helpful, and they\u2019re compact enough to carry with you in your aligner case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Hooked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of things to carry with you, there are actually implements called aligner hooks that can make removing your aligner significantly easier. These are small plastic crooks that you can slide under the back of your aligner, allowing you to pry them off easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Calm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing you can do is to relax. Rushing to remove your aligner as quickly as possible will ironically probably take you longer than if you take your time. Just stay calm and removing your aligner will be easier than you\u2019d think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of your Invisalign\u2019s best features is that it\u2019s removable. This allows you all kinds of freedom in what you can eat and do. Taking advantage of that feature requires a little practice, but if you\u2019re patient, you\u2019ll get it down in no time at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Tristan Parry is a dentist who\u2019s passionate about his work.
