Invisalign attachments are polished off at the end of treatment

Michael J. Thomas, DDS answers: Do the buttons on invisalign have an effect on the teeth?

I read a review and the person said that the adhesive on the buttons wore the enamel on their tooth. Is this possible or preventable?

The attachments are polished off at the end of treatment with no damage to the enamel. They are not snapped off like the old brackets which could damage the enamel.
