My aligners are here. I knew I would probably have to have attachmets on my upper front teeth, but I wasn't expecting THIS. Now that I see them on my mouth, with the trays on, I know I won't be able to wear them as much as it is required. My problem is only visibility. My job is about talking and meeting a lot of people every day, and psychologically I'm not prepared for it. I want to be honest, not moan about it, it's being my mistake, but I don't know what to do now. Do I have any options?

Answer: Let's Talk Teeth Dear Hansbor,I would speak to you Invisalign provider. As long as you are aware that your treatment may be slightly compromised, I am sure your doctor can fabricate the aligners without the attachments. Attachments are necessary for specific movements, so I would discuss with your doctor what he expects, so you will have realistic expectations of your treatment results. Best,Dr. Jenn

Answer: Visible attachments Speak to your Invisalign provider about your dissatisfaction with the appearance of your front teeth and the trays. I did a case like that a few years ago, and the patient would not wear the trays. So, we did not deliver the case. We started over and got trays without attachments on the front teeth. just talk to your dentist. They won't like it, but they will understand. They can have a new clincheck configured that eliminates those attachments!
