Review on 🦷 Blue OrthoKey Clear Aligner Removal Tool - 2 Pack for Invisible Removable Braces, Retainers, and More by Christine Eads

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than ruining a manicure!

If you've recently started orthodontics with clear aligners and like me, have been panicking because you think you can't remove your mouthguard, click ADD TO CART now! I've tried two different brands so far and they seem somewhat similar, with this brand coming second to the other. 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 because for lack of value I'm giving it four stars instead of five.It's a bit overpriced (not outrageous or anything but it's a tiny piece of plastic with a hook on the end (im Basically a rope with a round handle at the base) for what you're getting, but the fact of the matter is you'll need aligners if you have them, so watch out!Try a tool too Try kle push in an impulse, not in one sharp movement. 2. Alternatively, you can cut/file back a small spot on the outer edge of your aligner to accommodate the tool for purchase. 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 that was a single tool rather than a set for less than five dollars and found it a little more convenient to use than these. I would happily buy this brand again though, they work great. RESULT: Buy an aligner today!
