Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of invisible aligner technology, specifically to an invisible aligner removal and insertion tool. Background Technology

[0002] Invisible aligners are transparent orthodontic appliances used for teeth straightening. Due to their invisibility, aesthetic appeal, and high comfort, they are increasingly popular. Wearing and removing invisible aligners requires some skill. When putting them on, patients typically use a "biting stick" to help the aligners fit snugly against their teeth. This biting action involves applying slight pressure to ensure close contact between the aligner and the tooth surface. Patients usually use a special biting tool to gently bite down several times to ensure the aligners are properly in place. When removing invisible aligners, patients need to use a special removal tool to gently pry the aligners off the tooth surface, avoiding damage to the gums and the aligners themselves.

[0003] Currently, bite tools and orthodontic appliance removal tools are typically sold using two separate tools. The bite tool is specifically designed to assist with wearing the appliance, while the removal tool is used to remove it. This separate tool usage presents some inconvenience for patients, and using multiple tools can easily lead to misplacement or loss, complicating their daily care.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a tool for removing and inserting invisible orthodontic appliances to address the aforementioned technical shortcomings. Utility Model Content
