So you’re finally on track to getting your ideal smile using clear aligners. But removing them during your teeth straightening treatment regularly might seem challenging, especially if you use your bare hands.
This is why we’ve introduced an aligner removal tool to make your removal process easy and as hygienic as possible. In this blog, we will explore exactly how clear aligner orthodontic treatment is made easier and more convenient using an aligner removal tool.
Importance of Hygiene in Dental Procedures
In any dental treatment, hygiene must not be compromised. As compared to traditional metal braces, clear aligners are more flexible when it comes to hygiene since you can brush and floss your teeth properly.
Patients going through this procedure remove their aligners using their fingers, which compromises their dental health. Any germ or bacteria on your fingers is likely to come in contact with your mouth and disturb oral hygiene, leading to infections and bad breath.
What is an Aligner Removal Tool?
Aligners are designed to fit your jaw perfectly since they are custom-tailored according to your dental needs. However, this custom fit can prevent a seamless removal of your aligners using your hands especially if you are a beginner.
Which is where our aligner removal tool comes into place. This dental appliance is designed to act as an easier and more hygienic alternative when removing your clear aligners. Manufactured using medical-grade thermoplastic plastic, the tool itself utilizes a hook-like formation, which helps remove your aligner with minimal effort.
How To Use a Clear Aligner Removal Tool?
The tool has been made to make sure your removal process remains as user-friendly as possible. But to ensure you are getting the best possible results, there are a series of steps you need to follow for enhanced results. Following is a detailed guide for you to understand how to use a clear aligner removal tool properly.
Ensure Hygiene
Proper hygiene measures should be observed when using an aligner removal tool to ensure your removal process remains as germ-free as possible.
If you are about to remove your aligners, make sure you have cleaned your hands properly. Wash them with soap and water first before beginning your aligner removal procedure.
Insert the Tool
To avoid any damage either to the tool or your gum, insert the tool gently using the designated hook.
Pull Your Aligners Gently
Now that you have inserted your tool, you need to pull down the aligners from your teeth without any rapid movements.
Repeat the Step
Once completing this step for one side of your aligner, repeat the process for the remaining areas to ensure the aligner comes off as swiftly as possible.
Clean Your Tool
To maintain your oral health, you need to ensure your dental products are cleaned once used. For this, simply wash your pull tool after its use with some water and soap.
Why to Use an Aligner Removal Tool
Using an aligner removal tool can improve your alignment journey, as it can lead to several added benefits. Here is why using a removal tool is vital for you:
