Is It Possible to Change Invisalign Plan with Attachments After Receiving the Trays?

Per treatment planning is so important for both the patient and Dr alike. Once the trays are made and issues come up the best thing is to remake the trays and be willing to settle for any limitation the Dr warned about. The old tray might do some good but the treatment plan has been changed for the trays already made that we're based on using attachments

The invisalign attachments help teeth move in certain directions.  Sometimes the attachments can be removed and other times it will effect the outcome of the treatment.  Your dentist would know ahead of time whether they would be needed.  Not using the attachments can result in movements not being predictable

The attachments are intended to allow Invisalign to complete certain tooth movements.  If you eliminate them you might find that Invisalign will not work very well.  It is possible to have trays made with no attachments; ask your dentist how this would affect the results.

The dentist knows IN ADVANCE of ordering the initial trays if they will have attachments or not, and this should have been explained to you in advance. It is possible to change the plan and order new trays, BUT Invisalign will let the dentist know exactly what type of result to expect without the attachments. It will NOT be the same result as WITH the attachments, and in fact, might not even be possible to do without the attachments. Invisalign will inform the dentist of this BEFORE making the new trays, and the dentist should discuss this with you BEFORE ordering the new trays.
