  Hi,
  I've just started my 4th set of aligners and my teeth look fairly similar to yours. I have 7 buttons on my teeth and at first I thought they were quite obvious but now I'm beginning to think they are not. No one has noticed that I'm wearing my aligners (not even the kids from the youth group I run - and they point everything out).
  Stand back from the mirror a few paces and smile to see your teeth as other people see them - it's not half as bad as it looks close up! (You get used to seeing yourself with them too - so it get less noticeable)
  
  I agree though, the dentists don't like to tell you about the buttons do they? I only found out about them through research - and all the promotional pictures show people with perfect teeth who clearly wouldn't need any attachments because their teeth don't need straightening!
