Should I wear my trays longer than 2 weeks? How will I know if they need more time to work?

Asked By:Beth Somjak in Walled Lake, MI

I am supposed to change to my 3rd tray in 4 days and the trays I am in still feel tight. I am using the chewy tubes (not everyday but I try). I am reading about how loose the trays feel on others before the 2 weeks are up. I am 47 years old. Does the process take longer in older people?
