No buttons or attachments are needed if doing SmileCareClub clear aligner treatment. In my experience, I have found no need, even in my practice.
Some aligners use buttons (also called engagers or attachments) to help aligners fit tighter and move teeth. This is one way to move teeth. Fortunately there are other options now on the market. Many patients don't like the buttons because they think they are unanesthetic and they can break. Other aligner companies, like SmileCareClub do not use them. The bio-mechanics work differently. The aligners are also trimmed differently to help them stay in tightly. SmileCareClub aligners do work like a retainer, but you have between 5 and 20 sequential retainers which are changed every 3 weeks. Each aligner moves your teeth up to 0.3mm.
I do not know your situation exactly, but I would highly recommend you NOT use Smile Direct nor any cut rate system. #1 There will be no direct supervision of your case during treatment ( you should be seen by a trained a qualified dentist every 6 weeks or so.) and no one has considered you...
You have a very narrow maxilla that has many physiological repercussions. Consider three dimensional expansion with a DNA Appliance
SD works by pushing the teeth outwards to relieve crowding, unfortunately that may lead to an overjet and a wide smile. One would normally want to align and bring the overjet back in, and so we always recommend Invisalign.#Invisalign#braces
