Q. i\’m having severe attachment problems! firstly, they keep falling off (i have no idea why) and when i have them fixed back on they\’re sharp and hurt my gums! my dentist said i\’m exaggerating but it\’s causing problems and it\’s embarrassing when you\’re out with friends and the attachments decide to fall off! please help! how can i make them stay on and NOT hurt?,
A. Hello, If you keep the aligner fitted over the attachments it might help with the discomfort. Lost attachments can be easily refitted by your dentist. You might want to avoid crispy, hard food. You might want to discuss the sharpness of the attachments with your dentist who can also examine the sotf tissue.
