What happens if I’m bad at remembering my trays?+
Teeth may lag behind the digital plan and treatment could take longer or change. If that seems likely, discuss it before choosing trays.
Is it better to choose braces if I know I’m forgetful?+
Braces remove the need to remember an appliance, since they’re fixed to your teeth. They also change how you clean, so compare both with your dentist based on the movements you need.
I took my trays out overnight and forgot. Is that a disaster?+
Put a clean tray back in if it still fits and let the clinic know if it doesn’t seat properly. Your dentist can then advise on what comes next.
Can I make up for lost hours by wearing the next tray early?+
No, jumping ahead isn’t the way to catch up. A tray that no longer fits as intended is something for the clinic to look at, because it may need a specific correction.
Do I have to tell the dentist if I’ve been slacking?+
It helps a great deal. Knowing about your actual wear explains what your dentist sees at tracking visits, and it leads to better decisions about your next steps.
Can I ask whether I’m a good fit before I book treatment?+
Yes, that’s what the assessment is for. It covers both the tooth movements involved and whether the wear schedule looks workable in your life.
