What are aligner chewies?
Aligner Chewies are made from a soft, medical-grade foam that is safe and comfortable to use. They come in a range of colors and flavors, making them a fun and easy addition to your orthodontic routine. Aligner Chewies are also affordable and disposable, so you can easily replace them as needed.
How to seat Invisalign aligners properly?
If you are using Invisalign or any clear aligner system, your success depends entirely on how well the trays fit against your teeth. Even a microscopic gap between the tooth and the plastic can prevent the necessary force from moving your teeth, leading to "tracking" errors and expensive mid-course corrections. Aligner Chewies provide the consistent, gentle pressure needed to close those gaps and ensure your treatment stays on schedule.
What if your aligners are not fitting properly?
Without a perfect fit, your aligners are simply sitting in your mouth rather than working. Many patients find that new trays don't fully "seat" just by using finger pressure alone. Aligner Chewies solve this by providing a soft, flexible surface to bite down on, which eliminates air bubbles and pushes the aligner into its optimal position.
Key Benefits:
- Ensures a Precision Fit: Closes the gap between the aligner and your teeth to maximize the effectiveness of every tray.
- Accelerates Tooth Movement: The biting motion stimulates blood flow to the surrounding tissues, which can help teeth move more predictably.
- Reduces Discomfort: Using chewies for a few minutes after switching to a new tray helps ease the initial pressure and soreness.
- Medical-Grade Material: Made from a clean, durable, and BPA-free polymer that is safe for daily oral use.
- Refreshing Mint Flavour: Provides a pleasant taste while you exercise your jaw and seat your aligners.
Ideal For:
- Invisalign Patients: Essential for every stage of your journey to ensure you don't fall behind your clinician's plan.
- Stubborn Teeth: Perfect for "lateral" or "rotated" teeth that struggle to fit into new aligner trays.
- Daily Maintenance: Use them every time you re-insert your trays after eating or cleaning to ensure they are always working at 100% capacity.
How to Use:
- Place your aligners in your mouth as usual.
- Position the Aligner Chewie between your upper and lower teeth.
- Bite down firmly and move the chewie from one side of your mouth to the other, ensuring you bite on every tooth.
- Perform this "chewing exercise" for 2–5 minutes twice a day.
- Wash with mild soap and water after each use.
