They turned out to be the Essex ones. Clear on both top and bottom. They look great and the top ones are very comfortable. But the bottom ones had two sharp areas, towards the back on the tongue side on each side. The result was the worst sore area you could imagine. I went home, took them out, and took a nail file and smoothed down the barbs. But the sore was already created on both sides of my tongue. The pain is ok as long as I keep Tylenol and Motrin on board. But when it starts to wear off, look out!! I need to call them and reschedule my next checkup. I'm gonna mention the barbs and the tongue pain. Perhaps I'll go see them sooner than in two weeks.
Take care,
Cyndy
P.S. He is making me a Hawley for the bottom. Should be ready for the two week checkup.
