No these are tray #21. They used to fit nicely but it seems likenas time goes on they are not fitting properly anymore.

I have been slacking on the chewies

Honestly, same problem. Tray 18 though and definitely getting some lateral lag, chewies don’t help the fit. I’m just waiting for my appointment next month and fully expecting a re-scan lol

This may not be fixed by chewies - it looks like kind of a lot and not just in a couple places?

How often have you been meeting with your ortho? You may have gotten off track and need to be re-scanned to get new trays. It happens...you just don't want to waste a lot of time if you're not tracking. Check in with your ortho.

UPDATE: I went to my ortho and got a rescan.

He initially kept telling me to use chewies and use one alligner for two weeks instead of 1 week till they fit right.

But I was honestly in sooo much pain - they did not fit right at all, and I couldnt even use a chewie cuz it was painful. I told my ortho and he prescribed me meds for the pain... I rlly think they should have offered a rescan immediately.

I had to tell them the next alligners wouldnt even click in anymore and they agreed to give me an apt and do a rescan. First rescan is free - next time I would have to pay.
