 If not, what are my options? I’d rather not have to wear a retainer 24 hours a day.

Hi Rzayan,The etching creates small grooves on the surface of the tooth that allows your Invisalign attachments to grip onto. Since they were sliding before, the etching is necessary for the Invisalign to work it's magic properly. When all is said and done, your veneers can be polished smooth again.
