Question

Is there a structure to taking out Invisalign aligners?

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!
