Can Invisalign Attachments be removed half way of treatment?

February 16, 2017
Asked By:irahmani21 in Ann Arbor, MI

I just started my Invisalign treatment today and I got a total of 14 attachments that I am really NOT happy about as they are super visible and easy to notice. I have a total of 26 trays and the duration of my treatment is between 13-19 months. So my question is, if my teeth are shifting to their new position rather smoothly and treatment is going as expected, then can my ortho remove some of the front attachments before the entire treatment is over? There is nothing invisible about them :(
