Invisalign bite ramps? Are they for attachments? (Photo)

June 28, 2016
Asked By:Suhhmantha in Hollywood, FL

Hi, so I have invisalign. And my ortho gave me a set of 10 trays until my next appointment. Anyway, I had no issues until recently. I had to switch aligners, and my next set look so different. Basically, there are bumps on the BACK of the front teeth of the trays. I went online and I guess they are called bite ramps. My question is: Am I supposed to get attachments on the back of my teeth now? For the bite ramps?

I had Invisalign Express. I need refinements. Can I get more aligners?

How can I whiten my Invisalign attachments/buttons after they've been stained from Indian curry? Whitening strips do not work.
Courtney L. Lavigne, DMD (retired) says:

Hi there, The attachments are made out of white filling material, and because they are not polished to a high shine like a front filling would be, they can stain fairly easily. Once stained, the attachment can't be whitened. It would surprise me to see one meal discolor them that significantly. ...
