Meet Inma Steffe, Founder of AlignerOff

Meet Inma Steffe, an accomplished dental hygienist, who received her BS in Dental Hygiene in 2005 and MS in Education in 2006 from Old Dominion University. Inma has excelled in private practice for almost 20 years, delivering exceptional oral care to hundreds of patients. Her commitment to dentistry extends beyond the clinic, as she has actively engaged over the years in authoring journal articles, adjunct University teaching, and mentoring numerous future dental professionals.

Inma compliments her clinical and academic interests with a passion for tinkering with instruments, which drives her resourcefulness to improve the devices and procedures used in daily practice. Aligner removers have been part of the market for many years, but there has been a need for an easy-to-use hygienic product that minimizes contamination. This need has become especially salient in today’s post-pandemic setting.

Determined to address the shortcomings of existing aligner removers, Inma embarked on a three-year effort to bring her vision to life. Working with a talented designer, Inma created an aligner remover that not only met the highest standards of cleanliness, but also offered ultimate convenience. Her ingenious design features a retractable hook mechanism enclosed in a ventilated case. Every part of the instrument is replaceable, ensuring longevity and cost efficiency for the consumer. Assembling and cleaning is a breeze, providing a hassle-free experience for the user.

After testing numerous prototypes to perfect the design, we are now happy to present this groundbreaking aligner remover to the world!

As its creator, Inma has the following message to customers seeking a better way to remove their clear aligner, retainer or night guard:

“I want to thank you for visiting our website! I take immense pride in introducing this innovation to dental patients around the world, and sincerely hope you get as much enjoyment from using it as I did creating it! Please don’t forget to consider our other products, Cleaning Mineral Salts, Cleaning/Whitening Foam, Bite Gummies, Retainer Box and Soft Beso Lip Balm, which can be used seamlessly with the AlignerOff Removal Tool!”

With excitement and anticipation,

Inma Steffe
