I wore the my first tray for 2 weeks with no attachments, and today I just got my second tray, and the attachments on. I have 3 on each side of the outside top, and 3 on each side of the outside bottom. I tried eating lunch, but it seems like I'm not able to close my jaws completely because of the attachments.
