Compared to regular braces, Invisalign<\/a> tends to be more convenient. Its aligning trays are clear and subtle, not to mention removable for eating and oral care. That said, the treatment does have some challenges. In particular, getting the aligners off your teeth can be a bit tricky at times. Thankfully, though, your local dental practice has ways to make that process easier. To learn more, here are four tips for removing clear aligners from a Lakewood dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Calm Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before removing the aligners, it\u2019d be helpful if you tried to relax. You see, feelings of panic can make the trays harder to take out. After all, they can lead to shaky hands and a poor grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To calm yourself down, then, take a few deep breaths first. You could even wait ten minutes to ensure your mood is stable. Such things could make the difference between successful removal and failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your mouth is cold from a recent drink, your aligners\u2019 plastic might feel less flexible. As such, do an oral rinse with warm water to heat the area. From there, grab the trays once your fingers and mouth are dry. You should be able to remove them after keeping your jaw open for a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start from the Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, it\u2019s easier to get aligners off \u201cbit by bit,\u201d so to speak. For instance, you could lift them off your molars on each side first, then gradually move towards the front. Alternatively, you might want to work from one side of the mouth to the other. If necessary, you could also find your own approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your trays have an attachment, they may be harder to remove. In that case, lift off the easier bits and reach the attachment areas last. For the latter sections, hook your fingers under the edge of the aligner and lift it up and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use an Aligner Hook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you don\u2019t just have to use your fingers to get aligners off. Items like Pul Tools and OrthoKeys are also practical, and they\u2019re available on Amazon. They can remove clear braces by hooking under the edge and lifting it away from the tooth. You might find them especially helpful for trays with attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, removing clear aligners in Lakewood doesn\u2019t have to be a hassle. Just follow the tips above to make things simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
