Review on ๐Ÿ”น Optimized Clear Aligner Removal Tool for Invisalign Removable Braces - The Pultool (Blue) by Tonya Washington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You have to have these things!

This is my second review of leveling tools (I've bought more than one) and my review is similar to both with a slight difference in performance. If you've recently started orthodontics with clear aligners and like me, have been panicking and thinking you can't get your mouthguard out of your mouth, click ADD TO CART now! So far I've tried two different brands and they seem to be somewhat similar, with this brand edging out the other by a small margin. I've had an insane amount of time to take my aligners off (my orthodontist gave me no advice other than to use my nails or a new/clean pedicure tool with a hook on the end (really doctor?) that has the first option (nails). didn't work at all (it just ripped my nails to shreds and wouldn't even move the aligners) and the second (the pedicure tool) cut my gums to shreds (the pedicure tool was metal!) and still wasn't perfect Solution. Thanks to the World Wide Web I found tools to remove aligners.. HEAVEN SENT! Dramatic.. I'm giving this tool 4 stars instead of 5 as it's not worth it. The price is a bit high ( not outrageous or anything, but it's a tiny piece of plastic with a hook on the end (mostly crochet hook with a round handle at the base) for what you get, but the fact is you'll need aligners if you have them, so order! OMO SHUT tool, try to push in small pulses and not in one sharp movement. 2. Alternatively, you can cut/file back a tiny spot on the outer edge of your aligner as a recess for the tool so you can purchase it. Your orthodontist can do this for you, or if you choose to do it (I did!), be VERY careful (look it up online and watch the tutorial first) because if you cut too much you risk cracks. your tray and thus postpone your treatment plan. 3. Buy only three tools. I have one at home, one in my purse and a third for backup (but for some people the third is kept at the office). I bought this set and another two tool set for just under $10 instead of this one for just under $5 and found this tool to be a bit more convenient to use than the other brand. RESULT: Buy an aligner today!
