Can the buttons for invisalign braces be put on the back of the teeth instead?

Question

My teeth have always been very discolored and the buttons are very white. It makes it look like I have food in my teeth all the time.

Hello there,I'm sorry to say, but it's unlikely that your buttons will be able to work as efficiently on the inside.  I know Invisalign buttons can be a little annoying, but ultimately, you want the best results for your mouth, so they can sometimes be a necessary evil.  You may dislike buttons, but can you imagine how it would be with silver buttons and metal braces?  A lot worse.  So, again, I'm sorry you have to go through this, but it will be all worth it in the end.Good luck and follow me if you have additional questions.
