What are CHEWZ?
CHEWZ is a precision aligner seating tool designed to help patients seat their clear aligners more evenly against the teeth.
Unlike traditional soft chewies, CHEWZ is shaped to encourage controlled, targeted biting rather than repetitive or excessive chewing. This design helps patients use their aligners more deliberately, without unnecessary distortion or fatigue.
By guiding patients to apply gentle, defined pressure using the front teeth, CHEWZ supports consistent aligner engagement as part of normal aligner wear routines.
Why CHEWZ Was Created
After years of experience working with aligner patients, we observed that many existing chewies were generic in design and offered little guidance on how or where to bite.
Common issues with traditional chewies include:
- Encouraging prolonged or excessive chewing
- Promoting biting with the back teeth
- Causing jaw tiredness or discomfort
- Becoming unhygienic over time
- Offering minimal structure or feedback during use
CHEWZ was designed as a more intentional alternative — focusing on structure, durability, and ease of use.

CHEWZ is a comfort and accessory device. It does not claim to diagnose, treat or alter orthodontic outcomes. Individual experiences may vary.
Vibration Guidance
When used with a compatible electric toothbrush, CHEWZ should be exposed to very low-level vibration only. This is approximately equivalent to the lowest vibration setting of mainstream sonic toothbrushes (around 10,000 rpm or less).
Use of vibration is recommended only if advised by your orthodontist, typically once per week or when changing to a new aligner if the aligner feels tight, or otherwise according to your orthodontist’s instructions.
CHEWZ is compatible with most slim, straight metal-shaft toothbrush pins, including common Philips Sonicare and Oral-B sonic heads. Compatibility should always be checked before use.
First Use Guidance
For initial use, it may be helpful to lightly moisten the toothbrush shaft with water or a small amount of neutral, food-safe lubricant to allow smooth insertion. Do not force insertion. Ensure the component is clean before and after use.
