Q.
Hi Yesterday I had my first aligners fitted and i have attachments on the top and bottom. I thought the entire point of Invisalign was that they fitted close against the teeth and were invisble? My attachments are so obvious that i am horrified with the end result and i am considering giving up on the whole thing – howvever im not even sure this is an option as my dentist has had to shave between my teeth so now i have noticable gaps. I am so disappointed with Invisalign – no where on the website does it mention attachments – whats worse is that looking on the internet it seems everyone has to have them so why is this not stated as standard???? the main questions i want to ask are whether there are any alternatives? for example, can i have the attachments on the back of the teeth rather than the front? is it possible to have no attachments and just increase the period of wear instead? if i take the attachments off my teeth is there any way to remove the bump in the aligner? Please help – i am totally devastated! thanks ,
