Home this evening, very glad I kept the old aligners in. I had them in and out several times a day the whole week, for eating, swimming, did I mention eating? Good thing we did an enormous amount of walking every day as well.
Decided to pop in the new set after dinner to ease some of the guilt of the vacation delay. Surprisingly, I had none of the trouble getting them in as I had last time. They are certainly snug, and a bit uncomfortable, but they went right in. Only issue this time was that the bottom aligner was rubbing my gums in the back, behind the second lower molar (wisdom teeth out 20 years ago). I removed the bottom aligner, saw where the aligner was rubbing the gums, and used the "finishing" side of a nail file to remove some aligner material and hopfully make it more comfortable. After a couple of tries, filing, washing, and reinserting, I think I fixed it.
By the way, I see the number of hits on this blog has been growing. I'd love to see some comments... just say hi, or why you are reading, crack wise, or impart some of your own wisdom. And thanks for reading!
