Hi emiliepifer,Thank you for posting your question. You should check with your dentist and see what the treatment plan is. It is possible that it is time for the attachments to come off prior to putting on the next aligner.

It is best to ask your dentist and then you will be directed accordingly. Hope that helps. Good Luck!
