So I've been done for a while except my ortho decided that I wear my final trays for a while longer than usual. Basically I've been done since May and I wore my final aligners till August 2nd at which time, my ortho cut off the molars on the trays. I was supposed to wear the sliced trays for a week full time and then 12 hours a day at night until September 13th. Yesterday, August 28, I was at my parent's house and took my trays off and hid them behind a frame. Someone cleaned the area and misplaced the trays . I've been searching and searching but I think that someone may have thrown them away while cleaning up after the guests. When I realized I may have lost them I emailed my doctor right away and he replied this morning telling me to schedule an appointment for impressions Monday morning. I was going back home today but now I have to stay an extra night to go to the doctors tomorrow morning for impressions. I'm really hoping my teeth don't move in 2 days but I'm still very worried. Plus my orthodontist had been tweaking my molars to adjust my bite and for some reason it's not aligning properly at all. So here i am very worried.

    A frustrating thing to happen, but with such a short time between getting a replacement, and your teeth already having had a long period to stablise, if there should be any changes, they should be easily corrected.

    Our patients are told that their aligners (or retainers) are either in their mouths or in their containers.

    Good luck!
