Help! Invisalign tips needed

I'm one week into aligners and need some tips. Does anyone have a good tiny toothbrush for on-the-go scenarios? Having trouble putting on, taking off, and using bands. I'm also finding chewing food painful with my aligners off and my teeth feel loose. My lips and mouth feel raw from the rubbing. Any help and support is greatly appreciated!

The feeling lose is normal. It’s your teeth moving which means it’s working. My son just finished his full treatment with these.

If it’s rubbing into your gums, try to find the spot and sand it down lightly. It won’t effect the tightness of the trays. The first couple of weeks are the worst but gets easier as the tightness in trays decreases.
