Does anyone know the thickness of the finishied tray in MM? A tray that is too thin can get holes in it easy from sharp teeth

Uncertain as to the actual measurement ... and can't compare it to anything else. But it is thin, and I do have very crooked teeth and some sharp edges as well .... no problems yet ... have had it a year.

Haven't measured, but mine seemed good quality. You would have to have a pretty bad case of bruxism to bite thru the material, especially considering you don't sleep with the trays in (unless you decide to use them without bleach for a night guard).

My son used this product to whiten his teeth prior to an implant on his front right upper tooth. The tray was well made. You shouldn't worry about holes. However, as he had a void where the implant is going, he didn't have enough material for the upper impression; the lower one was fine. We corresponded with the company and they sent more material. He has used the product and is very satisfied with it.

I just realized that I think you mean the final trays for the whitening process. They are very well made and work very well.I don't know how sharp his teeth are but he is 44 - so they are definitely sharper than mine. No cavities to knock them down.Just front teeth problems from a childhood injury - hence the implant. I don't think you need to worry about biting through the finished whitening trays.Also, they are designed to bathe your teeth (individually) to the solution and do a far better job than the cheap trays that have no tooth impressions.

Maybe...If you press, rub lightly over the tooth surfaces and hold in place for 10-15 seconds the strip may conform to the irregular surfaces. They seem to hold in place well and even are hard to remove if left in too long. Trays may be a better solution.

It is less tha 1". I have 2 so measured the one without the tray. It is closer to 3/4".

I don't think there is any limitation on the thickness of the tray board, it screws into the bottom side of the tray and nothing hits the top side. The screws into the rails do hit the sides of it a tad though as mentioned in my review.

I had the same problem. I do not know why. Ended up cutting a hole in it the last time I used it... bummer

Its the usual thickness that you would come to expect of the average machette. Im not sure to the millimeter how thick, but it I've used it plenty, and the thickness of the blade has never been an issue. It's sturdy and solid. Sorry I cant be more specific, but I hope this helps.

I think the tray is for 35 MM only. Maybe other trays are available not sure.

It's Mel B, and I would think it's just about 1/8" in thickness. Might be a little more than that, but not much. I did not buy this for myself, or could tell you more precisely. Bought it for my mother to see menus at restaurants.

the thickness is at the widest part, i.e. where the double ended screw hold the whole thing together. It is 9mm thick. I do hope this answers your question.

ask at local hardware store about teeth size few available? Be careful if you do yourself to keep same angel, it' not to hard go only 1 way

I used a hole saw to cut a 1.5" outlet in the side of this tray and fit it with a bulkhead for draining. The ridges in the bottom are narrower but would take a .75" hole with ease.

It is a nice thickness (out of town at the moment) 8 mm or more, nicely beveled. My problems came with delivery (to the curb, not into my house or garage!) And that hardware was missing when I assembled it.

Hi Mrsxtal, I just measured some I recently purchased. It is about 1.5 16ths of an inch, or slightly more than 2mm. It feels very rigid for that thickness, and is pretty tough to cut with an exacto. Quite a bit easier with a rotary. It is NOT fully 1/8 inch like Elizabeth answers below.

I had a custom mold made at my dentist's office several years ago. It's a perfect fit. I tried the trays you boil but they really don't work out. It's worth the investment. Mine have lasted five years and show no signs of wearing out anytime soon.

Hello Tiffany, The Velvet Felt on the tray an very nice and feels like a good quality, but the stiffness of the tray felt like a Hard Board - the type you find in hardware stores that has many holes to fit metal pegs into them to hang tools (except the board is smooth). I've cut these boards before and using a hand saw is almost out of the question, as it will be messy and crooked. If you have a cross-cut saw such as a radial arm or a chop-type mitre saw, it should work out fine. However, you'll also need to undo the velvet to separate the board for cutting, then re-wrap your board. I wish I could look at mines to tell you more if the velvet could be undone, but I just threw my tray away. Sorry about that.

O'h dear.There is nothing I can find on the package that says anything about invisalign trays. I have an idea it might be too strong. The best person to ask is your dentist. I would hate to see them ruined. Sorry

i don't have an exact hole but pretty small. i think both sawdust and chips would stay in the tray.
