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

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

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

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

IT HURTS SO BAD HELP

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 ❤

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

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

You saved my life Dr. Thanks!

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 .😭

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

I have the Invisalign retainers. It hurts so much on the other side feels like my teeth are going to come out 3rd day still hurts

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

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

I have my Invisalign without attachments just the plastic that moves the teeth

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

Thank you so much for your tips, I am using retainer for the first time and it was helpful 😁

Is it possible that this method isn’t for everyone? With my attachments, they told me to do one side at a time, and them pull the tray off the front top 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.

Thank you tons!!! This saved my daughter.

Thank you … this trick really helped me 🙌

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

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

oh my gosh thank you for this! I’m in my 60s and just got Invisalign’s not two hours ago, and was having a tough time removing them for dinner time!

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. 😭😖

thanks got the top one off. how do I take off the bottom?

It's not this easy for me but thank you❤ this video really helped

Thank you so much this was a life saver!!!!!

Thanks this really helped. Still more difficult that in the video but Its my first day but going from the back really helped.

Thanks!! It works perfectly 😁

Thanks a lot it's very helpful

HOLY SHIT Ty so much man, it worked so well.

most helpful video

i’m on my first tray today and i don’t have any attachments but when i try to take out my bottom tray sometimes it’ll hurt one of my teeth. i’m not sure why or if it’s okay i’m wondering if i’m pulling it out at a bad angle and moving my tooth?

Its a lot harder than that if you have attachments...

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

I got black pepper stuck behind my attachment.. how do I get it off/out

it is so many bacterial its not ok I wear invasilign overlays and honestly after 1 month I had enough of rubbing my mouth with my hands in a simple way bay a hook special to take it off and you have peace of mind 😅

I have attachments AND a snaggle tooth that gets caught in the aligner….. I already ripped one aligner it’s so tough sometimes

I have 20 attatchments and my bottom teeth are fine taking on and off, but the the top one has one tooth that is a lot higher up than the others so taking it out is really painful for that tooth. It just seems to get stuck to the front teeth even after I've pulled it free from the back on both sides. If I pull any harder I fear they will break or crack :(

Thanks! Got my Invisalign today so it hurt a little bit but still worked 👍👍👌👌

I just got mine a couple of days ago. I am struggling trying to get the trays out and back in. I have cut my gum with my fingernails trying to get them out. I have broken off 3 attachments trying to get them out so now I have to go back on Monday to get those attachments put back on. UGH!!!!! I just hope that I don't break off anymore before then.

ok if youre struggling with grabbing it after you pop it out of one side then what im doing is instead of grabbing the aligner and pulling it out im doing the first part on the other side as well and then hooking my nail under the part on the back of my two front teeth and then pulling down again. idk if that helps for most but hopefully this helps someone.

Thanks so much 👍👍

Thank you so much!!! It was so frustrating trying to pull them out, i was starting to lose hope

Will it break if I pull down from one side

Dude... you’re the man!

I’m on my 6th week of Invisalign, and it’s not bad after you have them for about 2-3 weeks. It is now a big change for me, but it is super cool:)

thank you so much

Thank u for slow motion

It resulted in breaking my stage 4 lower tray

How do you remove the bottom tray easily? There's no way to get your finger in a hook shape into your mouth to get them loosened. Mine actually cracked on the edge because I couldn't get the bottom one loose first before pulling.

I was told (by the orthodontist clinic) that if you use your nail, you could scratch your gums (or your nails might hurt) and they told me to grab the very back with my thumb and index finger (like how you would hold a key when unlocking a door) and pull *gently* until it’s loose-ish, then repeat on the other side and then keep going back and forth until you reach the front, and they should be able to pop right off. This applies to both the top and bottom ones.

My fingers hurt after about 20 minutes of trying what the doctor told me now time to try this method

2 of my 5 !! composites / attachments on the lower teeth came off when I took out my suresmile the first time … -.-

this helps so much

Thanks you!! My 8 year old just got them and we couldn't get them off

Wooo got it on the first try thank you so much

Yeah it's easy, unless you have crooked teeth and attachments. I'm on the first week and at this point I can't eat because they physically won't come out. I broke all my nails trying too. Shouldn't they just include a remover tool with them?

Can you do the bottom ones please. Im struggling to take out my bottom ones and every video has been on top 😭

Big regret it's all fine until I got attachments, mouth feels so dirty I don't even wanna remove invisalign from my mouth, my mouth and lip skin get stuck while trying to get my invisalign out already broke 1 attachment after 1 day and its only been 2 days with this it hurts fucking much and its nearly impossible.. And then to do this multiple times a day fml I wish i could just eat with invisalign

Omg I was having a time second day with the attachments. You are a life saver worked like a charm ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you for the video!

Thank you so much 💖🤝

This helped a lot

just got mine, first time taking it off.... man that hurt xd but thinks for the video

Keep in mind that it is tough for crowded teeth, especially at the bottom. So, most advice on youtube doesn't work because the front NEVER comes off that easy on crowded teeth.

Just got my first aligner today, took me forever to get em off. Can't imagine going through 47 more of these...

Tysm!! I’ve been scared to take mine out since I just got them yesterday.

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.

What about bottom

Hi, I had my braces removed 3 years ago, my teeth are good but my lower jaw is barely visible, I'm 22 y.o. Will this help? Or is there anything else for me besides jaw surgery?

I'm having attachment on almost all of my teeth except 4 ... Pain in the ass to take it out 💔

It worked thank you

I'm in my eight month and these trays are easy but my BIGGEST irritation right now is the screeching sound when I chew. Everyone can hear it.😢 what's happening please

I usually advise patients to use a different tooth each time they take it out. I unfortunately took my top aligner out on the same molar everyday and now I have 1mm of recession and wear on the enamel. Try to avoid repetitive scratching/pulling on the same area. I also read how you can take a washcloth or paper towel and pinch from the outside and inside of your back molar and pull down. This avoids the need to use your abrasive finger nail.

What happens if it bends

Thankyou so much

Mine are so difficult because i can take off the back but dhe front is very difficult 😭😭😭

So,I just recovered from oral surgery a few months ago,and my orthodontist wants me to get an Invisalign,I think I should cuz braces sound painful! I have 2 extra teeth in my mouth,and crooked ones,wish me luck.but,would you think Invisalign is a yes or a no?

Guys, I want you to calm down. I know what everyone is up to and now I'm on day 3 and I've found a way that doesn't exist anywhere, trust me! I know you are afraid that they will break - I promise they won't. I have quite a few attachments on my teeth and the method works with them too. First they gave up on the rear and then with the hook you pull SIDES and then DOWN to release the attachments attachments. That is it- if you first do it on the right, you pull with your right hand to the right and then down. With this metod, neither the attachments nor the aligners themselves will be damaged. BELIEVE ME!!! today I spent 20 minutes trying to remove them before I found this way and I was getting depressed. IT WORKS I PROMISE!!! if there is anything ask me :)

I've broken both index finger nails. They are down to the quick. I am hating my invisalign experience.

Are invisiligns better treatment than traditional braces ? I got jumped by 7 dudes trying to end an worthless debate they started with a friend of mine I thought they would beat his ass badly, so I stepped in just to talk and try to avoid escalation, but they thought I'd jump on them and got cowardly hit after a physical action took place with two of them prior of me being hit. I don't remember wether it was a punch or an elbow as I didn't see it coming being busy with two of them, but I could feel my 3 front tooths moving after the heat of adrenaline faded off. That same day I got a permanent retainer placed from behind those 3 front teeths, and it's been 4 years now. I feel them slightly moving still although the retainer is there to keep them, however, the right centered teeth has overlapped a bit to the hurt left one (middle one where the retainer starts.) I'm told to go for braces as they are cheaper and more safer, but invisiligns appear to me esthetically speaking. I only want to correct my front overlapped teeth, dentist said it would take up to 12 months for that single tooth shift . I m very confused, please I need someone's experienced opinion

Bro thanks

Not to be that guy but I learned this on my own. Easily the best way and I have 22 attachments lol. I use my thumb at first though. Never had a retainer ‘damaged’ (?) or attachment come off. Just find the right spot to pull from, it’s not actually the very last tooth for me.

omg thank you 😭

I lost one of my attachments- will the aligners still work if I didn’t get it fix ?

The top one is so painful. When I did this i felt like my teeth were gonna fall out

The girls in the back was so embarrassed

That is exactly how they told me to take them off because I have attachments on all my teeth.

@GluckOrthodontics is it normal that one attachment is soo high that I can no longer normally bite?? :(

Does the pain very depending on how messy your teeth are? My teeth are pretty straight it’s just I have an overbite

I did it exactly in your way, but they told me it might crack it😢

tysm

I wish it was this easy. I only have 3 attachments on top, but i got an ipr and the dentist cut my gums a couple times. My aligners are stuck on the teeth where he cut me, and its the most painful thing ever. I’m absolutely starving and have no idea what to possibly do

nah man it feels like imma ripe my tooth out

I'll give that a try, but I have 20 attachments and it tends to get stuck.

Wish my ortho had showed me this way. Much easier for how my teeth are
