Unlike metal braces, CandidPro aligners are made to be removable. You and other patients can take them off for meals, dental cleaning<\/a>, and other reasons as needed. Still, what if you\u2019re struggling to remove your CandidPro aligners? There\u2019s no need to panic; your local Plano dentist is here with some helpful advice on what to do. To that end, here are four great tricks you can use to remove your CandidPro trays more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Use Towels or Gloves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your CandidPro trays cling to your teeth, it may be that you can\u2019t get a good grip on them. The good news is that addressing this issue is simple enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patients needing a better grip should grasp their clear aligners<\/a> with towels or gloves. By using these objects, you could keep your fingers from slipping or absorbing your mouth\u2019s moisture. It\u2019d then just be a matter of pulling on your trays with more strength; you\u2019d see quick results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 Low temperatures can make your trays\u2019 plastic lose flexibility, leading to aligners you can\u2019t remove. However, it isn\u2019t too hard to work around the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One great idea to consider is \u201cwarming\u201d your mouth before removing the trays. By keeping your oral cavity open for a few seconds beforehand, you\u2019d let it reach a slightly higher temperature. Your aligners would then become flexible enough to grip and remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start from the Back Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe your dilemma is that your CandidPro trays won\u2019t budge from the front. If so, your best bet is to take a different approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, start your removal with the back teeth first. You\u2019d just need to position your fingertip on your back molar\u2019s inside and pull your aligner. Once you do that on both sides of your mouth, you can move your finger toward the front and remove your whole trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try Aligner Hooks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is it something about your hands that keep the CandidPro trays from moving? In that case, you could rely on a different object entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The item to try in your case is an aligner hook. By \u201chooking\u201d it under the edge of your tray, you can lift the appliance from your tooth. You\u2019ll then have a solid grip from which to remove the aligners. (As for potential brands to consider, look into Pull Tools and Orthokeys; they\u2019re available in stores.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like, you can learn yet other ways to remove CandidPro aligners. Just visit your dental provider for the right help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
