Chewie – Aligner Activator

CHEWIES

Silicone bite pads used to actively HELP move the tooth into the aligners (EXTRUDE).

To extrude the tooth the active action of the chewie is when you RELEASE the bite.

  • Do not use Chewies within the first two days after you switch to a new aligner. Allow the teeth to passively move in the first 2 days. If there are spaces in the aligner trays above the top edge of any teeth use the Chewie to repeatedly force the space close and this should move the teeth into place.
  • If after 3 weeks or more of attempting to seat the tooth/teeth without success call into see the dentist and do not progress to the next aligner tray.
