THE OUTIE TOOL MAKES IT EASY TO WEAR INVISIBLE BRACES: A key part of the aligner experience is removing them when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Aligners are tight because they are moving your teeth. Removing them with your hands hurts your fingers, fingernails, and can even crack your aligners. EASILY AND SAFELY REMOVES CLEAR ALIGNERS: The 4.5 x 5/8 inch Outie Tool allows you to easily and hygienically remove your clear aligners, even if you have a hand disability. The Outie Tool is reusable and likely to last you the entire time you have your braces. You can even sterilize it in boiling water. < HOW TO USE: Removing your aligners is easy! The Outie Tool is the only tool with 2 ends, the hook removes your top aligner, the lever removes your bottom aligner. Fully engage the Outie Tool under your aligner. Gently but firmly push the bottom aligner up and off and pull the top aligner off (do not pull outward). If you are having a difficult time in one area, move the Outie Tool to a new position and try again. Do not pull down or push up forcefully because this may cause the Outie Tool or your aligner to break. FOR DENTAL PROFESSIONALS AND PATIENTS: Whether you are a dental professional or an aligner patient the Outie Tool is an essential part of clear aligner treatment. Take the worry and stress of removing your aligners by using the Outie Tool.
