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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

Thanks for the comment. Sometimes the attachments have to be placed “in occlusion” so you’ll feel them when you bite down. We try not to do that because it can be uncomfortable but often it can’t be avoided. If it’s really unbearable, it’s possible your orthodontist can smooth the top part of the attachment so your bite feels better. Good luck!

Wish my ortho had showed me this way. Much easier for how my teeth are
I wish mine was this easy. The attachments make it so difficult!
Give it some time. Our patients tell us that the first few days are the toughest, but after that it's pretty easy to remove the aligners.
@@GluckOrthodontics does it get harder with the more attachments u have? Cuz I have over 12 🥲
Same here. One tooth in particular was painful!
these attachments are terrible 😢
@@sammiewilliams9918 it actually does get better! I'm on my 13th tray now and as your teeth straighten, it gets easier to remove and put on the trays now. Just stick it out 🤗
Its not that easy if you have a lot of attachments. It feels like they are going to break when taking them off
I get you it’s so bad I feel like they are ripping them off
@@AudreyKemmer Hey Can you solve my problem I just started using these aligners . Saliva keeps accumulating in the spaces present between my teeth and the aligners What should I do ?
@@mohammadayaan5334 I have the same problem I’m only on tray 3 but what I would do is really press them and make sure they are in place or take them out wash them and put them back in
@@mohammadayaan5334get a chewie, dude 👍🏽
Omg that worked. Thank you. I was in so much pain trying to pull it down
You got it! Glad it helped!
It's my first day with Invisalign, I have never been in so much pain in my life... trying to get them off... I didn't eat lunch because of my fear how to get them off 😖
@@Damian.D omg same i just got them and taking it out has been really painful
@@lilamiller3121 hey, it's been three weeks since I first got them, now it's waaaaay less painful, actually it's not painful at all taking them out..and my teeth aren't that sensitive anymore. The first seven days were difficult. Good luck and don't get upset, soon it will be much easier!
@@Damian.D thank you so much that actually made me feel a lot better☺️
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
Same here! It has been such a struggle and pain tryna take it off
I couldn’t eat because it wouldn’t come off I legit tried to rip it of wouldn’t work I’m starving
I can’t even put the bands in how do you do it
@@shadowninja22suborelse.56 I don’t wear them anymore but I got a hook with mine that helps me put it in I always did the top first and then with the hook stretched it to the bottom it’s a struggle at first but after some time you get used to it and maybe you’ll be able to take it out and put it on with your bare hands!
@@ryancorbett6598 are you still starving
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
Yes it will definitely get easier! Hang in there! Good luck with your treatment.
🙌 yes
Mine too… My two front teeth or really hard
Same I have attachments on my two front teeth at the top and it’s impossible to get my alignera off and if hurts so much
@@charnisebonds3424 same omg
its not the aligners that are the problem, its the load of saliva that comes out while taking the aligners off 😭😭😭😭
Facts
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 .😭
Hopefully it gets easier over time to remove them! :)
What are attachments?
@@osbertogarcia7050 small adhesive parts put onto your teeth that blend in and give the trays something to use/hold onto when moving your teeth in your mouth over time. I have 19 in my mouth and you couldn't even tell unless you are super close
I have 28 attachments 😭😭
He be fuckin yo teef up loool
IT HURTS SO BAD HELP
You saved my life Dr. Thanks!
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 ❤
Thanks!! That makes us smile!
OMG, thank you! You just saved me from public humiliation for tomorrow at school, I just got them! 😊🙏
Glad we could help!!
Omg I’m breaking my nails to remove it. It’s so hard😩
same
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. 😭😖
Does it get any less painful I just got mine yesterday
@BlanketsAndLions Hey is it better now?Like do they pain now also?
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.
Glad we could help!
damn bro glad u got to eat
This was very helpful. My son had trouble, saw this and WALA! He did it. Thanks!
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
Good call! Thanks for the comment!
Omg thank you. Just got aligners last Thursday..they gave a little tool but this method is a lot better
Thank you!!! First time removing and struggling. This worked!!
Thank you tons!!! This saved my daughter.
Can you do the bottom ones please. Im struggling to take out my bottom ones and every video has been on top 😭
^ ^ This! ^ ^
I can’t get my finger inside my bottom tray. I have to attack it from the outside.
Thank you so much for your tips, I am using retainer for the first time and it was helpful 😁
Thank you … this trick really helped me 🙌
Thank you so much!!! It was so frustrating trying to pull them out, i was starting to lose hope
It's not this easy for me but thank you❤ this video really helped
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.
Thanks for the comment. That stinks you are having trouble taking your aligners out! The good news is that things will improve a lot over the next few days/week. Good luck!
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.
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!
Our pleasure! Hope it’s gotten easier to remove the aligners!
Tysm!! I’ve been scared to take mine out since I just got them yesterday.
👍🏻 Glad it was helpful!
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.
Thanks for the comment! That seems like a great technique. Always a good idea to be careful with your gums!
Dude... you’re the man!
Dude! You just made our day!!
@@GluckOrthodontics I just got my Invisalign yesterday and it would hurt so much trying to get the top trays off. This tip saved me so much time haha
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
Thanks this really helped. Still more difficult that in the video but Its my first day but going from the back really helped.
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
Great! It would be a shame if you had to miss your coffee!! (Speaking on behalf of a fellow coffee lover!)

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?
I was just given a hook to use if I have a difficult time pulling them off with my finger. It’s so useful!
That's awesome! We've had some patients use hooks with lots of success.
@@GluckOrthodontics I don’t need the hook actually, it’s not that difficult after wearing them for a couple of weeks!
I have my Invisalign without attachments just the plastic that moves the teeth
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 :(
Oh my goodness... I am in same situation, for my upper jaw.
Same situation, I fear that it might break the teeth!
@@himanshuchugh2865Hey,how is it now?Like is it easy to remove now?
@urvashisoni5683 Hey how is it now?like is it easy to remove now?
Thanks! Got my Invisalign today so it hurt a little bit but still worked 👍👍👌👌
Whoohoo! You're on your way to becoming an aligner All Star!
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.
Thanks for the comment!
thanks got the top one off. how do I take off the bottom?
I have attachments AND a snaggle tooth that gets caught in the aligner….. I already ripped one aligner it’s so tough sometimes
Agreed. Hang in there! It should get easier!
Just got my first aligner today, took me forever to get em off. Can't imagine going through 47 more of these...
Good luck! Be patient with the process and the aligners will be easier to remove.
HOLY SHIT Ty so much man, it worked so well.
Thank you so much this was a life saver!!!!!
Nice! Glad it was helpful!
My fingers hurt after about 20 minutes of trying what the doctor told me now time to try this method
Thanks you!! My 8 year old just got them and we couldn't get them off
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.
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 😅
Its a lot harder than that if you have attachments...
Great point. Attachments can make things tougher when it comes to removing the aligners. But practice makes perfect. Our patients usually get used to things within a few days. Good luck!
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.
Omg I was having a time second day with the attachments. You are a life saver worked like a charm ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
So glad it was helpful! Have a great day!
Thank you Thank you ! You too!
Thank u for slow motion
Thanks so much 👍👍
Thanks!! It works perfectly 😁
Our pleasure! Have a geat day!
2 of my 5 !! composites / attachments on the lower teeth came off when I took out my suresmile the first time … -.-
I'm having attachment on almost all of my teeth except 4 ... Pain in the ass to take it out 💔
Whoooo! That's a lot. Hang in there. The aligners should become easier to place and remove.
I don’t understand the attachment situation. If there needs to be so many attachments, why not just get traditional bracket braces?
Thanks a lot it's very helpful
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
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.
Thank you for the video!
You got it! Glad you enjoyed. Have a great day!!
@@GluckOrthodontics Everything about Invisalign has been very easy until now, just this horrible moments of taking the aligner out... I've read many comments, people are experiencing a lot of pain.. So videos like yours are more than useful!
@@Damian.D Glad we can help!
This helped a lot
Great! Glad it was helpful!
this helps so much
Glad it worked out! Have a great day!
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?
Great question! There are some remover tools you can purchase, and some of our patients have tried them. Everyone is different. We tell our patients to be patient, and know that it will get easier with time. Good luck!
@@GluckOrthodontics thank you! Unfortunately, I've only learnt about the existence of these tools from videos like yours, days after my aligners were fitted. I think they should give one to each patient just in case.
Will it break if I pull down from one side
Thank you so much 😊
Our pleasure!
Thank you so much 💖🤝
Our pleasure!!
It resulted in breaking my stage 4 lower tray
thank you so much
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 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:)
I got black pepper stuck behind my attachment.. how do I get it off/out
I lost one of my attachments- will the aligners still work if I didn’t get it fix ?
Thank you for the question! It really depends on which attachment came off. Without going into a whole long explanation, we’d suggest contracting your Orthodontist and letting them know which one came off. They can decide whether it needs to get placed back on.
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 :)
3 Months down the road, hows it going? I'm a little into week 2 🙃
Wooo got it on the first try thank you so much
Whoohoo! Glad it worked!
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?
I did it exactly in your way, but they told me it might crack it😢
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.
Thanks for the comment!
omg thank you 😭
Our pleasure!!
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
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
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
It worked thank you
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Thankyou so much
Our pleasure!
It’s so hard to remove because of the buttons on the front teeth. It’s a struggle every time I have to take them off.
Totally understand. Practice makes perfect and with time, it will definitely become easier to remove the aligners. Thank you!
I've broken both index finger nails. They are down to the quick. I am hating my invisalign experience.
@GluckOrthodontics is it normal that one attachment is soo high that I can no longer normally bite?? :(
Thanks for the comment. Sometimes the attachments have to be placed “in occlusion” so you’ll feel them when you bite down. We try not to do that because it can be uncomfortable but often it can’t be avoided. If it’s really unbearable, it’s possible your orthodontist can smooth the top part of the attachment so your bite feels better. Good luck!
just got mine, first time taking it off.... man that hurt xd but thinks for the video
Our pleasure! Hope it was helpful!!
when i do this step my teeth really hurt, specially the ones with attachments. does this pain go away and does it get easier to wear them and take them off ( pain free) ?
Thanks for the question. Yes that soreness should help, especially once you get a few weeks into treatment.
nah man it feels like imma ripe my tooth out
What happens if it bends
I get mine in three weeks!!!!
Whoohoo! Did you start your treatment?
@@GluckOrthodontics Yes, I'm in week one! I'm so happy 😊
Does the pain very depending on how messy your teeth are? My teeth are pretty straight it’s just I have an overbite
Thanks for the question! We have found that discomfort is hard to predict for each specific patient. The good thing is aligner treatment progresses slowly and gently, so any discomfort is usually minimal.
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.
Thanks so much for the comment! Everyone has a different experience. Glad you found something that worked for you!
The top one is so painful. When I did this i felt like my teeth were gonna fall out
I'll give that a try, but I have 20 attachments and it tends to get stuck.
What are attachments
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
Fr I am hungry and can’t eat with these in idk what I’m gonna do
What about the dot that’s placed on your teeth to hold the Invisalign in place, Can I remove them all off my teeth from home Dr.?
