Have You Ever Instructed an Invisalign Patient to Eat with Their Trays In?

GDubb
If you look at my posts I have been concerned about my posterior bite-only 1 side touches. I expressed my concern but was assured there would always be contact back there. During the last app. -surprise-I was told I'm a case study and soon my back teeth will not touch at all, and I will have to start eating with my trays in! I tried today. It felt gross, I couldn't bite into a sandwich or chew lettuce, and the aligners felt like they were about to break (who pays 4 replacement). What should I do
