If I Wear my Invisalign Trays for 22.5-23 Hrs a Day, Can I Change Them at Exactly 2 Weeks?

roamingfireflies
My doctor said I need to wear them for 20 hours a day, and told me I should change them 2-2 1/2 weeks depending on "if it feels loose" but I felt that that description was kind of vague, so I was wondering if I could get a more solid answer. I am not trying to speed up my process by any means, I'm just curious. And I'm also trying to avoid refinements, so if I should wait longer for my teeth to be completely in place, I will. Thank you in advance! :)
