I just went back and reread your post and I also wanted to add that with the deeper pockets you should probably irrigate them with a special tip, I can't think of what it is called right now, but it is made for deeper pockets and can allow the water/solution to get into the deep pockets. Maybe get a hydrofloss, Vitajet, or Waterpik if you don't already have one.
I am now just starting to looking zappers and parasite cleanising, that might help too, but I am not knowlegable enough yet. You can check out some of the other forums though.
I hope some of this helps you. If you find something that helps you, please share it with me and keep me informed. I am also looking for suggestions.
