In order to place the buttons for Invisalign the enamel has to be roughed up using acid. Is this a bad idea if someone already has soft and sensitive teeth?

Answer: Is acid etching for Invisalign safe?
Yes, It is safe. The acid is only used on a very small part of the teeth which is covered by enamel. The enamel has no nerves and will not become sensitive, and the etching layer is very shallow and will cause no permanent damage to the teeth.

Answer: Etching for attachments for invislign
number one, not every invisalign case requires attachments
number two, the conditioning required for bonding is localized to a small area of enamel, not usually near the sensitive areas of the tooth...I have never had a pt that I could not get bonding done
