It's still better than metal brackets

Theron Baker, DDS answers: How long should I wear the Invisalign attachments?

I've just gotten my second Invisalign tray today. My dentist placed 4 attachments on my front teeth, and I now have 17 trays all up. How long do I wear these attachments? They aren't the most attractive.

The attachments are necessary for certain movements. Remember the alternative - metal brackets and wires and threading floss. So hang in there, the result will be well worth the process (and the process could be much worse).
