After how long should you change aligners?

Q. I read that you are supposed to change your aligners every two weeks, but my dentist has advised me to do so every three weeks. Does this happen often for patients?
A. Hello,
Normally it is enough to wear your trays 22hours per day for two weeks. After the second week you should feel the aligners become loose or very easy to put them in or take them out. If  your teeth need more time to move you should wear the aligners longer.
