TrayMinder will send you four notifications to replace your aligners: once when it's time, and then 5, 15, and 30 minutes later.
Timer & Stats
Q: I forgot to "start" or "pause" the timer. Can I edit it?
Yes, on the Calendar tab, tap on the day you want to adjust, select the "+" on the upper right hand corner and select “Time." From there, you can manually enter the time you took off and put on your aligners.
Q: Does the timer drain my battery when running in the background?
TrayMinder only uses the "on" and "off" time to compute the total wear time. It's not a constantly running timer and doesn't use any power when running in the background.
Q: Will TrayMinder remind me to put my aligner back in after meals and snacks?
Yes, press the pause button on the timer every time you remove your aligners and select the number of minutes you want TrayMinder to notify you to put your aligners back on.
Q: Is there a way to see how much time, e.g. for eating, I have left in each day?
Yes, under the timer, you'll see "Out 00:00" which will tell you how long your aligners have been out for the day.
Q: Can I view my average daily wear stats?
Yes, go to the My Stats tab. From there, you can share your stats via text, email, or other apps. You can also see the total number of hours you have worn each aligner.
Q: Why is it not showing the per aligner wear time for some aligners?
Please make sure that you've specified which day you started each aligner. On the Calendar tab, click on the day you switched aligners, select the "+" on the lower right hand corner and select "Aligner Switch." Please note that any data entered prior to the current treatment will not be taken into consideration when computing the per aligner wear time.
Q: What do the colors mean on the calendar? How many hours do I have to wear my aligners to get a green?
By default, Green = 20 hours/day or more of wear time, Yellow = 18 hours/day or more of wear time, Red = fewer than 18 hrs/day of wear time. You can also adjust these by choosing "Set Daily Goal" in the Settings menu.
Q: What happens when there is a time change due to daylight saving?
TrayMinder works with daylight saving time changes. Your daily goal will also be adjusted automatically on the day when daylight saving time starts/ends to accommodate the longer/shorter day.
Q: Does TrayMinder work if I travel to a different time zone?
Yes, TrayMinder will automatically adjust the time based on the time zone you're currently in.
Q: How do I change the start of the week to Sunday/Monday?
TrayMinder will automatically use the locale setting of your phone to determine the first day of the week. You can also manually change it by selecting "Start Week On" in the Settings menu.
Treatment Changes
Q: I need a refinement/extra aligners. How can I reset the parameters?
Go to the side menu and select "Start a New Treatment" to enter the new parameters.
Q: Will I lose my records & pictures if I start a new treatment?
No, all your records and pictures will remain after starting a new treatment. The Calendar tab will fade out days outside of the current treatment.
Q: Can I adjust the number of days to wear each aligner mid-treatment? What if I skipped an aligner or had to wear an aligner longer than expected?
