I'm missing a tooth on the side. obiously the mold will fill in the gap, but what will I get when my trays are sent back?

Whatever your mold looks like when you send it to the company is a perfect image of what will be returned. I've had several trays made by dentists and by far, these were the best fitting. When you get your trays you can skip putting whitening gel in the area where the tooth is missing.

Yeah I'm sure it will be fine. It's custom, so just be sure when making the mold to get a good impression of the gap.

it depends on where and how many teeth are missing. But the direct answer is yes. I have one tooth missing on the left side but the teeth cover it's perfectly. the instructions will tell you how to hold it in place with missing teeth.

I would call manufacturer, to be certain. The tray seems a simple replacement item. Also just Google item.

If the dental work changes the shape of your mouth or position of your teeth - then yes you will have ro buy a new one. This is guard is not one that you can boil and reshape. They are custom made to fit exactly.

I have to put the gel on a q-tip and rub it on my teeth before putting my trays in. Hope that helps some!

You just mix the two putties and then make impressions in the trays. Also, they send the case and whitening gel when they send you your custom trays.

I had a similar situation. they do not fit well over existing. however I got the Dremel and trimmed them. I made them fit. Used the plastic beads to secure them in place and they did fine. but make no mistake! You cannot eat with them.

no there was a gap for the tray to slide in. also the grate slides in above it.

I would look closely at the many reviews that warn of missing side vents. It is highly likely that the piece will be defective. At that point it doesn't matter what tray it fits on. Buyer beware!

Is the tray warped or a totally the wrong size? Mine was badly warped but I was able to force it in there, and it has gone somewhat back to normal after it being in there for a few weeks.

I received the same problem. Have you tried re-ordering or finding the tray somewhere else? Still no luck on this end.

The mold fits on the top teeth and protects both top and bottom. I would think that you the me on the bottom teeth if you wanted to fit the bottom . But I would ask the manufacturer

I think it will maintain the current position of your teeth. If they shift after you make the retainers I think it will correct small differences to return them to the alignment of when you did the cast. However it cannot close a preexisting gap imo.

Unfortunately Amazon sent me the wrong product and I never received the clear molds. The company that makes the clear molds, however was VERY customer friendly and helpful. They responded quickly to my emails and even refunded my purchase price before we discovered I had not received their product. I suggest you email them directly with your question. Even if you order them without inquiring, they will contact you by email and make certain you are satisfied. For that reason, I would recommend their product if you can get Amazon to send it to you!

After I had been using mine for a few months I noticed a nail protruding indicating that the molding had pulled out a little. I put some wood glue in the opening and hammered it back in so it's solid now. Since the molding is what's supporting your weight you want to make sure it's secure.
