My attachments keep falling off, why is this?

Q. My attachments keep falling off, it\’s every time i remove my aligners! Why is this? I have an appointment to see my orthodontist next week to sort this problem out, just wanted to know why you think this is happening??,

A. you may not be bending the aligner outwards away from the buttons before taking out the aligner. You may also have too much fluoride in your enamel, which makes the bonding weaker. Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS
