How does it work?
toteBunny is designed to make the process of aligner removal and storage incredibly simple and efficient. Its functionality can be summed up in a few easy steps:
- Enhanced Grip: The integrated two-finger grip glove ensures that your pointer finger and thumb have a secure hold on your aligners, allowing for easy removal without fuss or discomfort.
- Hygienic Barrier: The thin yet sturdy material of toteBunny acts as a protective barrier, safeguarding your aligners from direct contact with your fingers and maintaining a high level of hygiene.
- Seamless Transition: With toteBunny, moving your aligners from your teeth to the case is a smooth, single motion, ensuring your aligners are securely stored without any risk of misplacement.
By combining these features, toteBunny offers a hassle-free, discreet, and highly convenient solution for aligner users, making the aligner journey as trouble-free as possible. With toteBunny, you can focus on your smile transformation without the unnecessary worry of aligner care.
I have a hard case. Why would I need this?
While a hard case serves its purpose, it can be quite bulky and inconvenient when you're on the move. It often requires an additional removal device, and once your aligners are out, they can still be tricky to transfer both into the rigid clamshell case, especially if you're in a hurry.
ToteBunny, on the other hand, is way more than a case with the integrated rabbit ear finger glove. The can be easily clipped to a belt loop, the top of your purse, or any other convenient spot. This added convenience is a game-changer in ensuring you don't misplace your invisible aligners, which can potentially lead to significant setbacks in your treatment. Every little bit of convenience matters when you're expected to wear your trays for 22+ hours a day.
In summary, toteBunny streamlines the aligner care process, making it more accessible and helping you stay on track with your treatment, even in the busiest of schedules.
How do I wash it and how often?
ToteBunny is designed with convenience in mind, and keeping it clean is a breeze. You have a few options for washing:
The Entire Product: We've made it easy to maintain toteBunny by designing it to be machine-washable and dryer-friendly. We recommend giving it a good wash every couple of days or as often as you see fit.
The Finger Glove: Since the finger glove is in close contact with your aligners, we recommend washing it daily. It's a simple process: just use a mild hand soap, rinse it thoroughly, and let it air dry overnight.
These cleaning routines ensure that toteBunny stays in top shape and remains a reliable companion for your aligner journey. We understand that everyone's schedule is different, so feel free to adjust your cleaning frequency based on your needs and buy a three pack!
Can this be used for other orthodontic devices?
Yes. The two finger grip system works great for removing any item from your teeth including invisible aligner trays, sports mouth pieces, retainers, snapout veneers and most importantly GRILLZ!
The toteBunny is perfect size for other items; such as, dental floss, plackers, credit card, drivers license, makeup and more.
What are some tips for removing invisible aligners?
- Wash Your Hands: Start by thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water to ensure cleanliness. Use your toteBunny for an added layer of protection between any remaining finger germs and the inside of your mouth.
- Use a Mirror: It's easier to see what you're doing. Stand in front of a well-lit mirror to get a good view of your aligners.
- Gently Push with Your Fingers: Place your fingertips in the toteBunny to gently push on the aligner, beginning at the back of your mouth and moving forward.
- Start from One Side: Begin on one side of your mouth and work your way to the other, using your toteBunny covered fingertips to lift the aligner off the teeth.
- Use an Aligner Removal Tool: These are designed to help you remove your aligners easily without causing any damage. They can be particularly helpful for the first few weeks of treatment. One is included with every purchase of a toteBunny.
- Remove from the Inside: It's often easier to start removing the aligner from the inside (tongue side) and work your way outward.
- Don't Force It: If you encounter resistance, don't force the aligner off. This can damage it. Instead, try from a different angle or use the removal tool. toteBunny will provide a better grip by providing a layer between your bare finger and the saliva on the aligner.
- Chew on Chewies: Chewies are small, soft cylindrical tubes you can use to help seat the aligners and remove any air gaps. Chewing on them can also help loosen the aligners slightly. One is included with every purchase of a toteBunny.
- Remove Before Eating or Drinking: Aligners are not meant to be worn while eating or drinking (except for water). Remove them before you consume anything.
- Rinse Your Aligners: Rinse your aligners with water to clean and lubricate them before putting them back in.
- Keep Them Safe: When not in your mouth, store your aligners in the toteBunny to keep them by your side, safe and hygienic.
- Stick to the Schedule: Follow your orthodontist's instructions regarding how long you should wear your aligners each day. Consistency is key for effective treatment.
- Clean Your Teeth: Brush and floss your teeth before reinserting the aligners to prevent food particles or plaque from getting trapped. A flosser is included and can fit in the tote bunny with each purchase.
- Use Aligner Cleaning Products: Consider using specialized aligner cleaning products or a mild denture cleaner to keep your aligners fresh and clean.
- Visit Your Orthodontist: Regularly scheduled appointments with your orthodontist are essential for tracking your progress and ensuring your treatment plan is on track.
- Be Patient: Removing aligners can be a bit tricky at first, but with practice, it becomes easier. Don't rush the process.
- Handle with Care: Aligners are delicate. Be gentle when removing and inserting them to avoid damaging them. If they are not in your mouth they should be in your toteBunny.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water can help lubricate your mouth, making it easier to remove and insert your aligners.
- Ask for Help: If you're having difficulty, don't hesitate to ask your orthodontist for guidance or assistance.
- Keep Aligners Clean: Proper oral hygiene is essential. Clean your teeth and your aligners regularly to prevent odors and staining. Try to keep your bare fingers from ever contacting your aligners with the toteBunny.
