Is there anything at all that can be done at this point? This looks awful. My teeth aren't that crooked. I was told there would be a few attachments on the sides. I'm also getting sores in my mouth from the aligned trays. The sharpness of these attachments makes it painful to eat. I was told they would be on for the duration of the treatment. I also whiten my teeth often. What can be done to keep the attachments white as I've been reading they stain easily? Are there clear ones available?
