Are "Buttons" Necessary for Invsalign Treatment?

August 11, 2010
Asked By:dsrmom in ny

I just began invisalign treatment. With the first set of aligners, all of the "buttons" popped off the first day, yet my teeth still moved over the two week period so that the aligners were almost loose. On my second visit, they reattached the buttons. However, now it takes me almost 5 minutes to remove the bottom aligner and it feels as though I am either going to pull out my tooth or my crown. Plus it hurts!!! Can the same treatment be accomplished without the buttons?
