I have been wearing my aligners for two weeks but the left side does not fit. I rinsed them on the 1st week in slightly hot water and I think I ruined them. I didn't notice because they still fit quite well but I've realised they don't feel as strong as they should. My dentist said I should give it another week, if they still don't fit, I should come & have new impressions taken (I didn't tell him about the hot water), but I figured nothing would change so I put on the next set. Did I do right?
