With its ergonomic design for comfortable grip and control, this nifty tool means there’s no more frustrating dancing around, broken fingernails or those feelings of rising panic when trying to remove naturally close fitting retainers or aligners. It also reduces risk of expensive breakages.

Keep the retriever hygienic with a quick rinse with warm soapy water before and after use, or soak with appliances in their bath for a deeper clean.

To use, hook the retriever between your appliance and teeth on the cheek-facing side and pull down gently from top teeth or push up from bottom teeth. Do this evenly on both sides of the mouth, not just one side, to help prevent damage or discomfort.

Take care not to pull on any brackets or bonded retainers.

The retriever fits inside appliance cases for convenience when not in use.
