SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 5, 2025 – Shofu Dental Corporation has unveiled its new Attachment Removal Kit for Clear Aligners, offering dental professionals a complete, minimally invasive solution for safely removing orthodontic attachments while preserving enamel integrity—addressing a critical challenge in clear aligner therapy.
With the continued growth of clear aligner systems such as Invisalign across the global orthodontic market, practitioners are seeking tools that balance clinical efficiency with patient comfort and safety. Shofu’s new kit delivers precisely that, streamlining a procedure often marked by concerns over enamel damage, chairside time, and patient discomfort.
A Strategic Leap in Clear Aligner Care
Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontics with their discrete, removable design. However, attachment placement and removal have remained a pain point for both clinicians and patients. Traditional methods using 12 or 20 fluted-carbide burs followed by multi-step polishing risk enamel damage—a permanent and irreversible concern.
The Shofu Attachment Removal Kit eliminates that risk with a carefully curated set of tools designed to improve workflow and patient outcomes:
- Black Super-Snap discs and Robot Carbide CTF-FG Finishers for safe, slow-speed bulk removal at ~10,000 rpm.
- OneGloss single-step polishers (points, cups, and discs) for precision polishing without compromising enamel.
- Super-Snap discs in varying grits for sequential finishing.
- A compact bur block, Beautifil II, and Beautifil Flow Plus flowable composite—enabling easy placement and removal of attachments in one integrated kit.
This all-in-one solution not only enhances clinical performance but also delivers operational efficiencies, minimizing the need for multiple separate instruments.
Clinician-Tested, Practice-Ready
Dr. [Name Withheld], a practicing orthodontist and former Invisalign user, shared firsthand insight: “The most annoying part of the whole process was the attachments, or buttons… they can rub the inside of the lip, and they’re a perfect trap for plaque. Taking them off always makes me nervous. I want to make sure I get the entire attachment off, but I don’t want to damage the enamel at all.”
After incorporating the Shofu kit into his practice, he noted, “The Attachment Removal Kit for Clear Aligners by Shofu Dental Corporation has made this much easier… It has everything you need to safely remove attachments for all of your clear aligner cases.”
Built on a Legacy of Finishing and Polishing Innovation
Shofu Dental has long been recognized for its industry-leading finishing and polishing systems. The inclusion of flagship products—like the black Super-Snap disc and OneGloss polisher—further positions this kit as a trusted solution for modern orthodontic workflows.
- Safe and enamel-preserving
- Comprehensive toolset in one kit

With growing demand for minimally invasive tools and patient-centric orthodontic care, Shofu’s solution offers measurable ROI for dental clinics seeking to elevate their clear aligner service offering.
