Hi, I got my first set of trays and attachments on on thursday, oct 31st. I didnt notice that two of my attachments on the front teeth in the top row are not completely there. From what I see on the aligner, there should be a full square of the attachment on each of the two teeth, but whats actually on my teeth are only a little fraction of that square. I am wondering if that will affect the movements of my teeth.

Some attachments are more important than others. If your orthodontist
didn’t mention anything it was probably not one of the crucial once. He can
always add new attachments or remove some of the old once as needed when a

If it seems to fit the same you are probably okay. You can
certainly damage them if you do that in the future and place too much force.
Then a new aligner might need to be ordered.
