Does anyone have any tips for taking off the aligners for invisalign? I spend about 20 minutes each time I need to take them off. The aligners do not hurt at all when they are in. I am getting frustrated with taking them out that I am seriously considering terminating the process. Any help would be appreciated!

Yes absolutely! Invisalign works very well to close gaps. Its the shortest way to close gaps without anyone noticing as they are completely invisible.
