Should There Be Multiple Trays with Same Number on Them?

September 2, 2013
Asked By:Robing

I just finished my first trays. I put on my second tray and then got curious about what the next two sets (3&4) looked like. Each package is marked U & L 3 & 4 but the trays inside are both marked U & L 2. I even tried on what should have been the 4th set and the feel just like the ones I'm currently wearing. This must be a mistake right? I am going out of town and want to be sure I have the correct trays with me.

Teeth can shift a little, but so long as you wear the aligners then the movement is slight.If you want to level the teeth edges before refinement then that is Ok as well, but there will be a gap in the aligners that will be visible during the day.Most people will wear the last aligner at night...

I'm Ready to Move Onto my Fifth Tray but the Top Tray Won't Grip Onto the Back Two Teeth on the Right. What Should I Do?
