Review on 🦷 OrthoChews Aligner Seater with Removal Tool - Dental Chewies for Invisalign, Clear/Metal Braces - Assist in Seating and Removing Aligner Trays (1 Pack incl. Aligner Removal Tool) by Larry Cole

Like many others. I had just installed Invisalign. Everything was fine on the first day, but towards evening there was this painful feeling of tension that only seemed to be spreading. First I tried the towel which I choked on. I then switched to a silicone teether, which worked but wasn't quite the right shape and its curve was a bit awkward and bulky. I read from an Invisalign user that an orthodontic horseshoe aligner works best, but I couldn't find one commercially. I bought these EverSmile OrthoChews gummies, foam aligners, IXO gummies with silicone aligners which are flatter grip gums (my second choice), and a Nuby Silicone Teethe-eeze with bristles. These OrthoChews gums were okay. In the end, I prefer soft (blue) over medium (orange). Their size allows discreet chewing; However, size was also an issue. Because the gum is relatively small, relief occurs only in the area covered by this mouthguard. For me at least, it made the non-gum area more uncomfortable. Another disadvantage. According to the instructions, it should continue to be used for 1-2 minutes. Ha. Days 2 and 3 of Invisalign were pretty rough and the pain was constant. Even if I've used them up to the recommended 6 times a day, 1-2 minutes isn't enough. At least for me. My relief came from the Nuby Silicone Teete-eeze Teether. I was very good at getting the bristly end all the way into my mouth and just removing the gum. The shape almost covers my entire bite area. helped me a lot. I really don't think I could have gotten through those tough days without him. Not the most flattering thing that hung out of your mouth, but it was a complete function about a fashion moment.
