I got my invisalign w/attachments yesterday. I feel as though I have cement or glue in places where it shouldn't be. When I flossed last night, I had a hard time getting the floss through as it was as if the cement had dammed up the opening.
And then it feels like there's cement inside the back molars. I find this irritating. Can I ask to have it removed or should I just wait until my 1st check up which is in 3 mos? Does it hurt anything to leave it there?
