Every once in a while a product comes out that makes<br />

me really angry that I did not think of it myself, and<br />

the COE Adjust-A-Tray is one of those products. The<br />

genius of the Adjust-A-Tray is its ability to be used in<br />

four different widths: small, medium, large and extralarge.<br />

The most common scenario for me is when I try<br />

a medium tray into someone’s mouth and discover it<br />

is too small. At this point, you simply remove the tray,<br />

unsnap it from the medium setting and snap it into<br />

the large size. Also, due to perforations at the rear<br />

portion of the tray, you can adjust the tray to three different<br />

lengths. There have been plenty of times when<br />

the width of a tray is acceptable but the tray is too<br />

long, and the Adjust-A-Tray easily solves that problem.<br />

There are also two different sulcus heights so that<br />

you can use the tray for partially edentulous arches<br />

as well. I still use custom trays for all large crown and<br />

bridge cases, but Adjust-A-Trays are great for all study<br />

models, splints, and opposing models.<br />
