I just picked up my Invisalign Express trays yesterday and had attachments placed (2 upper, 4 lower). I was concerned about damage to the enamel upon removal, even at the time of putting them on. Unfortunately, today, I had two removed and replaced by the orthodontist, who assued me there would be no damage. Well, immediately after he replaced them, I could see that my tooth surface on both teeth was dull, lacked shine and was dried out. Is this permanent??? Or, do they need to re-mineralize?

Trays always fit tight at first then as the teeth move they losen up and can feel ti fit different. this is normal and m,eans you are making progress. keep up the good work. the next tray will feel tight again and go thru the same feelings as the first tray. if course any questions ask your Dr.
