Wash your hands first
Start at the back molars
Use both thumbs to lift the aligner edge
Work one side loose, then the other
Remove the top aligner before the bottom aligner
Try from the inside of the back teeth if the front is tight
Use an aligner removal tool
Remove after eating when the aligner is slightly more flexible
Rinse with lukewarm water before removing
Avoid pulling from the front teeth first
Do not use hot water
Ask your orthodontist if it feels stuck or painful
