Having to pause due to gum recession - wearing aligners only at night

Hello!

I guess I just wanted to share my experience. I'm on tray 30 of 50. Maybe 2 months ago I thought I noticed some gum recession on my front two lower teeth. Over a few weeks it got worse and I mentioned it on my follow up with my Ortho.

He said to keep an eye on it, but I ended up going to my dentist for a cleaning and asked them to check the level of recession while I was there. They then referred me to a periodontist who now says I'll need a gum graft. T^T

The recession is happening because my front teeth are being tilted too far forward for my gums to handle, I now have to pause treatment while I get new aligners and we're going to try to file enamel between teeth in an attempt to avoid pulling my premolars.

My Ortho said to just wear my aligners at night and this feels so, so weird to not wear them during the day. I'm also feeling sensitive because I assume my teeth are moving on their own. He said I could wear them all day if I wanted BUT one is starting to split a little and I've already been wearing this same set for 3 weeks, idk if they'd make it another 3 if I wore them 24/7. Has anyone else been told to wear their aligners halfway through a treatment only at night during a pause? How did that go for you? I suspect it will be a tight fit putting them back on every night.
