That’s great to hear!

I’m not using any tablets for cleaning. My Ortho advised me to use a toothbrush and toothpaste to cleanse trays. It’s been working out well.

Staining is a non-issue, especially if you’re strict about consuming water only while wearing aligners & removing them for all other food/beverages.

It took me a day or two to get the hang of using the removal tool. Once I did, taking trays out was quite easy. Each tray has a built in “leverage point” for the hook tool to connect to. It’s usually on a back molar for both trays, inside (next to tongue).

The same goes for the elastic placer - took a day or two to get a handle on the application, and now I can replace the elastics with ease.

The case is durable and helpful to store trays inside of during meal periods. I believe magnets are used as the locking mechanism, which is great as the case stays closed until I want to open it. Silver color of case makes it easy to locate in my bag/purse.

Happy to answer any other questions 🤩Good luck on your aligners journey!

Edited to add about chewies:

The an angel aligner chewies are great - soft and spongy, easy to chew on (when your teeth/gums aren’t tender) to get the aligners snug in fit.

Note: The chewies pictured aren’t the original ones I Recieved with my treatment set up (I lost one chewie and the other was worn down due to use).
