Aligner Chewies, 12-Pack Medical Grade Silicone Orthodontic Chompers Aligner Trays Seaters Chewies (Orange)

Quite hard. Slippery. They tasted funny. There was a fun stick thing in the picture I didn’t receive. Feeling let down. Do not recommend as a Christmas present.

I ordered these seaters, and they work great. Back when I had my trays, I was never given these so I didn't even know they were a thing. I had Invisalign a decade ago, but life happened where my teeth ended up shifting. I had to stop wearing anything for over a year due to being severely unwell. I had my final 4 trays so I went back to the first to try again. My trays fit on my teeth, but they had some bigger halos around two of them, and in general many weren't fully seated. My bottom teeth were crowded and the main problem so they are the ones that shifted out of alignment the most. I finally got that tray seated after wearing them all day for about two months which I could then finish out the final 3 trays. If I couldn't achieve this, I'd need braces again which I can't afford even if it's necessary since my bite is off and my front teeth are hitting and chipping. Don't throw your old trays out, keep them forever. You never know what can happen in life. I wish I had the older ones, but my professional took them back then. I ordered these to assist with my problem, and I only ordered them since they were the best deal. I ordered the pink, and I like the color not only because it's pretty, but it's easy to spot so I don't lose them by accident. They come in a case to keep them in or transport, and there are a couple plastic sticks that you can place on them. They look like the pictures, and they are a squishy silicone material. They are firm yet equally soft, and they are the perfect size for my smaller mouth. There is a subtle taste to them that is pleasant and sort of fruity. I have been using them whenever I think of it a few times a day, and I focus on the areas with the halos but just everywhere in general since I'm having to backtrack. There's something very satisfying about them since there is a hole in the middle where sometimes it makes a clicking sound that gives a neat ASMR. I use them with or without the plastic stick, and I'm glad I have the option. The first day I tried them out I noticed they actually worked, and the trend continued the more I used them. Because I started these at the same time as backtracking with my trays, I can't say how much these helped compared to wearing my trays most of the day again since they would naturally shift. Each day they sat closer to my gums and the gaps slowly closed quite quickly on all but one tooth. I try to remember to do it right after I put them back in and before bed because when I do I can feel the fit is really tight and exactly where I need it. These seem to give me the extra boost that I can't get without them. The one thing I noticed was after heavy use one tore after a few weeks, but I'm still using the second one without needing to replace. Since I have a 12 pack that's more than enough. I'm sure it depends how pointy one's teeth are, the size and shape of teeth, and how hard the teeth are clenched how durable these will be. Overall, I'm glad I ordered them since my experience is now better than not having them, thank you.

Strong product which doesn’t break down quickly like other chewies do. Arrived next day after ordering.

Didn't come with the extension rod for the chewies.

Good product
