I have 19 sets of aligners totalling 9 months. My teeth aren't that bad but could be better and more straight. I'm currently on my second day. Wearing my aligners for 22 hours a day. My tongue hurts a lot. I have a strange white line on both sides at the bottom of my tongue. I think I will try to filing method today. No other pain. Teeth feel strange when I remove my aligners. My bite is already starting to feel awkward which means my teeth are moving I guess? I hope it is worth it.

I have had my liners for 8 months. Done with initial treatment (had them made with the goopy molds...yuck!), and now I'm in refinement (these liners were made with 3D imaging...it's such a better fit!). My bite was too tight, so as it is changing, leaving my liners out is not comfortable.
I had lines on my tongue in the beginning because I was unknowingly bitting my tongue. Maybe that's what you're doing too. My tongue was also super sensitive with the first set of liners so my ortho would file the back of each liner (the part behind my front teeth) so it wasn't so rough. I had tried to use a nail file but it didn't work. The liners made using 3D imaging fit so much better!

Starting to get white lines on both sides of cheeks
Ok, last week I had white lines on my tongue. That has healed. Now I'm getting them in my mouth. I lt must be because I bite my cheeks. I often catch myself cheek sucking or biting. i have no idea why I do this. I hope I get better soon and my new teeth after the process stop me from cheek biting?
Thanks for sharing your story with us. The first few trays are the hardest to get through, but it sound like you're managing. I hope you'll continue to update us as your treatment progresses. There's a lot of advice about sharp edges filing aligners in the Forum, like this post. Good luck!
