PUL Pack of 1 Reusable Clear Aligner Removal Tool — Compatible with Invisalign, Removable Braces, Retainers & Trays – Easy-to-Use Device Remover, Dental & Oral Hygiene Care Product – Blue

Trying to remove the trays with my fingers wrecked my fingernails, literally tore them to shreds. I ended up clipping my nails really short to prevent fabric, my hair, etc. from getting caught in the in the layers in my nails. Of course, then I couldn't remove the trays. But PUL came to the rescue! I can now get my aligner trays out in less than a minute when it used to take me anywhere from 5-12 minutes to get them off, amid much pain and cursing. You must, however, insert the removal tool on the interior of the mouth and not the outside of the gums like your dental professional shows you to do when just using your fingernails. Watch the video on the product site. I sometimes have to also pull from the center and not just the sides to remove the trays, but it so much faster and easier with the PUL tool. Thank you PUL!

Omg this is perfect foe people who wear invisiline .

I’ve just gotten Invisalign, but the removal tool provided to me was ineffective. The retainers were too secure to reliably remove them by hand, so I’d use the provided tool. However, it didn't want to latch onto the retainer, and it hurt each time to pry the retainers off.After a few days, I got fed up and decided to buy this. This removal tool is absolutely AMAZING. It hooks right onto the retainer and pops them off with absolute ease and little to no discomfort. Would highly recommend!

I use this for my Invisalign retainers and it works great when removing them after use. I had a different one prior to this, but this one seems to work much better. I would highly recommend.

At first, I thought I had to get some practice using this little gadget to get my Invisaligns out. However, I've had it for a few weeks already and I'm still struggling. But I guess it's better than trying to take them out with dirty fingers when I'm out and about and need to eat on the go.

I have thin finger nails and had trouble getting the aligners out, these were a life saver. The shape and angle of these made it easier to use compared to other brands.

I cannot get my aligners off without this tool!!!!!! I nearly had a panic attack the first time I tried to remove my aligners because I couldn’t get them off with my hands/fingers. Ended up using tweezers until I got this tool. It’s a breeze now to remove them since I got this handy gadget. And it fits in my aligner case with the aligners! Great product!

Good tool, but I wouldn't recommend using just it because I found it too easy to get bleeding gums when used with anything but the front teeth. I've got 18 attachments (little bumps fastened on my front teeth), which make it harder to remove the aligners.What I find works best for me is to use a small scrap of paper towel (not a tissue) between two fingers to let me get a good grip on the aligner near the molars and pull it off the teeth, on both sides. That works until it runs into the canine tooth.Then use your fingernails to move the aligner on the front teeth until it runs into any "attachments" , which are hard to get past using your fingernails . Hook the tool between two teeth and use it to move the aligner on top of (but not past) the attachment. Once you've done that for several teeth use the tool to pull the aligner past the attachment for one or two other teeth and then its easy to pull the aligner off. I find doing it this way is a little slower but minimizes pressure on your teeth.
