Attachments and Fit. Having Complications With My Trays? (photo)

1) attachments keep falling off the day of the boding (soft diet) and at least 3hrs before trying to eat anything or remove the trays. (solid black circles = attachments that have NOT fallen off). I will be going in to have the others re-attached for the 3rd time in about a month. 2) Fit - (blue outline pic 3) - the tray does not conform to my teeth perfectly... is this a major problem? Should I bring this up at my next appointment? Thank you!

The fit of the trays need to be checked by your Dr and make sure all is OK. The key is talking and understanding what's going on. This treatment should be seamless not a chronic problem

As far as aligner fit, there are three possible reasons for poor fit: 1) In the absense of the necessary attachments, the teeth have not moved enough between aligners. 2) Not wearing the aligners 23 hours a day for 2-3 weeks may skip to the next aligner... more
