The tops of my teeth are now rough, is this because of Invisalign?

Q.

hello doctor, hope you are well,

i just wanted to ask you about teeth after invisalign. I had the treatment about a year ago and am very happy with the results, but have recently noticed a certain roughness to the tops of my front teeth. The roughness is right at the very top and feel like lines.

thank you very much for your time and any help you can give
