Invisalign - Clear Buttons?

April 21, 2011
Asked By:T in Texas in Galveston, TX

I Just Got Invisalign.  All Advertisement Shows Completely Clear Trays. I was upset that my doctor put all these white colored buttons on my teeth,that look like food, barnacles, or calcium deposits. Most people do not know what these are. Originally I felt excited to get invisalign because I only have slight misalignment, now I feel awful with visible buttons all over my visible front and side teeth. Isn't there clear button stuff? Can I as a pt insist they remove these and only use the clear trays?
