How many Invisalign attachments is average?

Question

My teeth aren't that crooked, I only have small cosmetic changes to make, however I have 19 huge attachments stuck to my teeth that are very uncomfortable. From other reviews, I feel I have an excessive number of attachments.

Natwarlal Tibrewal, BDS · Answer

Hi, the attachments are determined by software based on treatment plan by the dentist. The dentist has the authority to change the design and number of attachments. They are there to help in improving the  angulation and position of teeth in a much better and much faster way.

Emery Cole, DMD, FAGD · Answer

I usually allow the software program to determine which teeth need attachments and the design shape of each attachment as there is a lot of research and science that goes into these programs.  You usually will have best results and better seating aligners with some attachments.  Stick with your dentists plan, get your teeth straight and those attachments will be a thing of the past!
