Q.
Hi, I’ve just attempted to fit my second upper aligner and it is a perfect fit everywhere apart from the very back left where it hangs off the teeth quite badly. I’ve made an appt with my ortho for tomorrow and put aligner 1/14 back in for the time being. I can see by placing alingers 1 and 2 side by side on a flat surface that the general balance of the two are quite different, as if aligner two is somehow warped out of shape (aligner 1 fit perfectly). The best way I can desribe it is to say it’s the same as sometimes happens with a pair of glasses as the stems get bent out of shape over time and then the glasses don’t sit flat on a surface. My question in fact is whether this is something that can possibly be corrected by my ortho at the clinic tomorrow or if it will mean waiting for a replacement from California? I’m really hoping it won’t be the latter as this will of course delay the whole process significantly. Thanks very much for any feedback you can offer.,
