OrthoKey Aligner Remover - Versatile Clear Aligner & Retainer Removal Tool - Hygienic Invisalign Remover, Denture Grabber - Portable & Durable, Fits Dental & Aligner Cases - (Pink, 1-Pack)

I purchased this after getting a new upper retainer and struggling to pull it off. I'm so glad I did! It works perfectly. No more painful hassle. Highly recommended.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this item because of the good reviews. It helps me remove my retainers easily.

I thought I was rocking my new aligners-wearing them with no problem, popping them out, cleaning them, sleeping with no issue, speaking clearly. Then they put in what they jauntily call "buttons". It's more like the devil's horns. They. Are. Miserable. Devices. Now I have to get used to these awful, giant, barbed-wire protrusions. It's not so bad when the aligners are on, but when they come off, it's like I have horns on my teeth jabbing at the soft inside of my mouth. That's nothing compared to trying to get these monsters off. The aligners now snap onto the "buttons". Unfortunately, they don't just snap off. Now the aligner key makes it fairly easy to pop the aligners off the "buttons". this is great since I already broke one aligner trying to pull the aligner out of my mouth by brute force and broken finger nails. BTW, it doesn't come with the little compact that is shown in the picture, and they are very expensive for what is probably about ten cents of plastic. But they are life-savers, so I guess they are worth the money.Update: It's been three weeks since I've worn the "devil's horns". My gums have gotten used to them and I can take off the top aligner pretty easily without the hook, but the bottom aligner is still about impossible to wrench out. I. LOVE. These. Tools. Another feature I discovered is you don't smear your lipstick like you do when you are using your fingers. Hint: keep one in the car, your aligner case, at work and at home. I found myself out for lunch one day and left my case aligner on the counter at home. I about panicked because trying to wrench the bottom aligner out in a public bathroom is not a pretty sight. Thankfully I left one in the glove box. Epic save.

Got 3 of these to take out my Invisalign trays and they work brilliantly. Super thick and good quality. Not cheap throwaways; will last the entire year of my Invisalign for sure. I keep one in my purse, one by my kitchen sink, and the third in my bathroom where I brush my teeth. I have such a hard time getting my trays off without these. But with these it’s a super quick, simple hook and pull — and the trays are loose. Definitely recommend.

Easy to use but expensive for little plastic hooks.

Got these to help take out my invisalign and they have been working flawlessly. They have been extremely durable and I think the thicker build makes it so that they don't break or chip when pulling hard on the invisalign. Also sometimes I close them a bit wrong when putting them in with the trays but they always fit and never seem to cause any problems. They seem just the right size. I bought a few, but I've only needed just the one. I guess if you ever lost one, it couldn't hurt to have backups. Good product.

I have a dental deprogrammer to prevent clamping and grinding of teeth. I have very thin, short nails and had trouble removing it with my nails. This device works perfectly!! So glad I found it.

Without this tool would have had a lot of trouble getting retainer out.
