Oops on Numbers 3 & 4

I was excited to move onto the third aligner last night.  I needed to restrain myself from trying it on early!  However, I waited the requisite time...and then the bottom aligner tray DID NOT FIT.

Thankfully, the problem was easily enough remedied.  The part of the tray that fits my #19 tooth, the one with the implant, was molded in such a way that it was impossible to fit over the tooth.  My hypothesis is that in scanning my teeth to make the models, that tooth was somehow treated differently.  On both trays for the third and fourth of the series, the same problem showed up.  The dental assistant was able to file or cut or shave or something in order to make the tray sit on my teeth properly.  Yay!

No pain so far, either.  So far, so good.
