What to do if aligner is rubbing against tongue?

Q. I only just started my invisalign treatment yesterday and already i am having problems. The problem is that I have noticed that there is a pointy bit sticking out of the tray and it is coming into contact with my tongue which hurts quite a bit after all the rubbing. I have an appointment next week to get this sorted out and the things shaved down a bit or something, but is there anything I can do in the mean time to ease the irritable thing?
A. Hello,
The best is always to pop back to see the dentist who can easily smooth your aligner. You do not really have the skills and the instruments to do this.
