I'm on my last tray before revisions. Normally I change on a Tuesday night and my appointment is not till Friday.

On the Friday appointment he's going to remove the attachments and scan me for my next set of trays which should last for about six weeks.

However, I don't understand what I'm going to be using until the new trays arrive which I understand could be a couple of weeks. Am I therefore just going to use this tray for three weeks?

receptionist was vague

I've had to use the same tray for a few weeks before. There isn't really an alternative

It's a bummer isn't it, you get so used to that nice feeling when you change over of being on the move

I'd definitely recommend soaking the tray once a week. I found it fine keeping the same tray. It's worth it in the long run

Yes you’ll have to use it for 3 weeks. Mine was actually much longer that that due to some dental work that was needed. It’s not ideal but it will go quickly.
