If you're having trouble removing your clear aligners or retainers, then this tool is the solution for you! The OrthoKey Tool safely and easily removes clear invisible braces such as TRU-LINE™ and Invisalign®, as well as clear Essix retainers. This product was created and perfected by an Invisalign patient.

The OrthoKey pops your aligners out easily and quickly the first time, even when you have attachments on your teeth! It has an angled neck and a multi-grip handle. Comes with full instructions. Watch the video to see how it's done!

Each OrthoKey tool is individually wrapped. It comes in white or blue (sorry, color choice not possible). Buy several of them to keep in your purse, backpack, desk, car -- anywhere you need to remove your Invisalign or your clear plastic retainers!

If your aligners are very tight, rinse your mouth with warm water before trying to remove them with the OrthoKey.

Please note: this item is not returnable due to health regulations.

Removing Invisalign aligners or clear Essix retainers can be really frustrating. Plus, you need to make sure that your fingers are clean, or you'll be getting all sorts of germs in your mouth. The aligner removal tools we carry help take the frustration out of wearing these appliances. I give the OrthoKey two thumbs up! Plus, it was created by an Invisalign patient, who tested it and perfected the design -- so you know that it really works!
The OrthoKey tool is individually packaged, and comes in blue and white.

How to Use The OrthoKey Aligner Retainer Remover Tool:

1. To remove an aligner or retainer from your top teeth: Position the OrthoKey so that the end of the OrthoKey is parallel to the upper aligner. Latch the OrthoKey from the furthest molar, gently pull up and forward.

2. To remove an aligner or retainer from your bottom teeth: Position the OrthoKey so that the end of the OrthoKey is parallel to the lower aligner. Latch the OrthoKey from the furthest molar, gently pull up and forward.

TIPS:

Aggressive or improper use of the tool can result in breakage, if you're having a difficult time in one area, move the OrthoKey to a new position and try again.

Do not keep pulling down or pushing up forcefully because this may cause the OrthoKey Tool to break.

If your aligners are very tight, rinse your mouth with warm water before trying to remove them with the OrthoKey Tool.

I was having so much trouble getting my brackets out that I broke off one of my buttons. The OrthoKey makes it so easy to take them out. I haven't lost a button since using it.

There are few things in my life I put in the 'must have' category except my harp. But the OrthoKey is a 'must have' to remove Invisalign trays without messing up the trays or one's fingernails. So glad I bought two.
Pros
  • Works great!

I recently started Invisalign. I was growing both frustrated and discouraged over the fact that removing retainers was a struggle. After I cracked my first two sets, I researched alternative methods to removing retainers. Someone suggested I check out Ortho Keys. Dentakit was the best website and offered the most affordable product. I received my package quicker than I expected and instantly used the tool. It works so well and my experience with Dentakit was excellent. I will definitely purchase more products from this site.
Pros
  • Fast shipping.
  • Quality product.
  • Pricing.

I got invisible braces and it came with a brace remover called the outie tool. It was hard to use so I wanted a different remover so I got this one. The orthokey worked much better than the outie tool for me.
Pros
  • Easy to use

This is an absolute must for anyone who is having difficulty with removing aligners. I was on the point of giving up, but it helps me to remove the aligners relatively easily and with little or no pain - a far cry of what it was like before I had an orthokey. I can now take the aligners out when I want to eat or drink - rather than restrict myself to twice a day because I dreaded their removal! I couldn't find it in UK - but the orthokey arrived very quickly. Wish I had known about it at the beginning of treatment. Thank you.

This is a great tool and a big help and get in my upper retainer off in the morning. My orthodontist specifically gave me a tight fit at the top to help keep my two front teeth together; however, it was so tight it was hurting my nails to get it off. So I ordered one of these tools for 10 bucks and its been great. I just put it in the upper right-hand side and push down and then the left and then grab a little bit in the middle and boom its off. I highly recommend it for the price.

This is an must-have tool if you have an Essix retainer. It is so much more hygenic to use, and it is quick and easy. I don't think I could remove mine without it.
Pros
  • Strong and easy to use.

By Rachel L.

When I first used it, it took a bit of practice but I love it! I use it all the time. I still have to use my fingers to loosen the front teeth since that's where my attachments are (making it a lot tighter) but it's nice not having to stick my whole fingers in my mouth to loosen the backs of my molars. I keep one with me for home or outings and the other at work.
Amazing

my dentist claims that my upper tray cracked because of using this tool to remove it. I'll have to keep using it anyway, because my finger nails are too fragile. The tool is easy to use.

Cons
  • my dentist claims that my upper tray cracked because of using this tool to remove it.

This little tool works like a charm. My new Invisalign retainer was so tight I could not get it out. I did use a metal instrument but the metal against my teeth was awful and it was still a struggle. Using this is a breeze. Greatly recommend this tool.

This tool is a life saver and worth every penny. Fits in the red or blue Invisalign case that comes with your Invisalign. I am able to store the ortho key, a chewy, and my aligners all in the case when aligners are out of mouth.
Get the 2 pack so you have a spare in case you loose it or if you like to keep one in your second Invisalign case.

I just got invisalign and had so many issues getting them out. Bought multiple remover products and this would be the best if I didn't have so many buttons on my teeth and they are so tight that nothing works unless I loosen the sat back side on either side and use a square of paper towel to pull allinger off. Saved my invisalign experience..... great idea i found.
Pros
  • Perfect tool if you dont have alot of buttons on ur teeth.
Cons
  • Not for everyone but try it it may work and its the best one out there that would even come close to working... the other ones suck...

I love this tool!!! I was so happy to find it. I didn't want to use my fingers to remove my Invisalign trays. It was ruining my nails!! The tool my orthodontist gave me was ridiculous. It was impossible to use. I would recommend ordering two! In case one is lost. I'm almost done with my Invisalign & it's lasted for almost a year!!
Definitely worth the money

Let me just start off by saying I never write reviews. However, this little OrthoKey has changed my Invisalign journey. I have 25 attachments on my teeth, so getting my aligners out has been a nightmare. I ordered the OrthoKey on a whim out of desperation, and I'm SO GLAD I DID. I bought the two pack, and I keep one in each case. It makes getting my aligners out MUCH less painful...even on the first few days of a new aligner!!! My orthodontist also told me to give up nail polish for the next year because it would chip while taking my aligners out. Well, the OrthoKey saves my nails too! All around, I am so happy with this purchase, and also kind of upset that all orthodontists don't give these out (or at LEAST tell you about them) when you get Invisalign. Total game changer for me!!!
Pros
  • Easy removal of aligners
  • Less pain when removing aligners
  • Saves nails from chipping/breaking
  • Fits in Invisalign case
