My attachments look horrible!! What happens without them?

By Calgirl2000 on 11 Aug 2012

I am on my second tray and just got these attachments on several teeth, including the front teeth that are very noticeable and look much worse than my teeth before invisalign. I am an over 40 professional and cannot deal with these for 9 months! The color does not match and they protrude significantly. What happens if I get them removed? I already paid in full and did not know about these attachments until The appt where they show you the video of your teeth and projected results. I was also told they were very small, not noticeable, and identical color to teeth. I plan on going back to discuss options next week. I have had the attachments for only a week and I am so self conscious I am not smiling anymore. And of course I have a lisp too. I don't mind the trays only or the attachments on lower teeth either. Anyone have advice on best way to proceed?  See photos.  Lisa

I'm sorry to hear you are disliking the attachments so much. Here is a Q&A that helps explain their purpose:

What Are Invisalign "Buttons" and Where Are They Attached.
