Until your case is completed

Daniel Schiavone, 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.

All of your aligner trays will grab onto those attachments.  They need to stay there until you complete the last aligner.  Then the dentist will remove them and make you a retainer.
