Had issues w the top fit at about set 22. I had new impressions taken after aligners 24, dr told me just to wear set 24 when I slept til new aligners came in. I assumed my teeth would be fine & haven't worn my aligners in about a month. I have recently been forcing myself to wear set 24 all the time but the top is still way off. The bottom seats, but is VERY sore. I have top aligner 19 & it fits well, I threw 20-23 away. Am I better wearing 19 or forcing 24 even though its not close to seating?
