26 Years Old and Finally in Braces - Ontario, CA

Woot!  I guessed right ;).

Exciting!...how long do you have to wait for those trays now?

You mentioned last month that there were a few things you were unhappy with.  My guess would be that the doctor needs to see you because of the refinements.  You may need new attachments or something else pertaining to that.  But it might be that there's a delay or something, or they might need to rescan, though that seems unlikely at such a late date.  Extremely curious, though--please let us know!!!

Polident is probably a good idea, like you said :).  You can also use Hydrogen Peroxide solution if you don't like the smell of vinegar--which is super cheap--daily and then use polident or something like it (like retainer brite) for deep cleans every few days.  Definitely make sure to not use a gritty toothpaste if you keep using toothpaste to clean during that time.  Any kind of dish detergent or hand soap (I preferred unscented) also works and is less likely to have grit (as long as you aren't using lava soap! :))
