Stay on your clear aligner schedule — not on “I’ll wear them more tomorrow.” TrayTime is a wear timer for clear aligners, Invisalign, and retainers. Tap out when you remove trays, tap back in when they’re on, and watch a live counter race toward your daily hours. Miss the goal and your projected finish date slips. Hit it and you stay on your ortho’s timeline. WHY PEOPLE USE TRAYTIME • Live wear-time ring toward your daily goal (commonly 20–22 hours) • Real-time finish-date projection that updates with your actual wear • Tray change countdown so you never miss the next set • Progress photos at each tray change that build your before/after smile grid • Streaks and history that keep you honest without spreadsheets • Reminders when trays stay out too long, a tray is due, or you’re short on hours • Trays-out log, weekly slip report, and shareable before/after progress cards • 30-day wear chart — short days in coral against your daily goal • Retainer mode: track your nightly wear window, not a 22-hour race • Private on-device backup export & import — photos and history for a new phone • Wear-weighted tray timing and finish-date “what if” on Today • Lock screen Live Activity and home screen widget on supported iOS devices BUILT FOR REAL TREATMENT DAYS Eating, coffee, and “just five more minutes” quietly steal weeks.
