Promised no attachments on my front teeth but when my trays arrived w/ attachments she said she thought I only wanted "less" attachments. Told me to only wear the bottom trays & that she would simply order new trays as a mid course correction. When I went back in to pick up my new set she instead now wants me to bring back in my old top trays and try them with only 1 attachment instead of the 4. 1) Could it even work with only 1 attachment? 2) Is it even possible to get new trays?

To get rid of the protruding look you will need four teeth out. This will require braces and about wo years. Invisalign will not reduce the protrusion but can align the teeth. Have your Dr do a diagnostic set up both ways so you can make an informed choice
Never change what your Dr told you to do without talking to them first. Instead of changing your wear time check with your Dr there may be something done to make the lower fit so your tongue is comfortable. Always ask your Dr
