If you have attachments on your teeth but the trays you are changing into don't, how do you fit the trays on your teeth?

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.  If this is the case then you would have to have the attachments removed by your dentist prior to putting the next aligner on.  Another possibility is that the aligner was not made correctly.  It is best to ask your dentist and then you will be directed accordingly.  Hope that helps.  Good Luck!

The attachments on your teeth should match those in the trays. If you currently have attachments on your teeth, and the next set of trays does not have spaces for those attachments, you should consult with your dentist, as he or she will likely remove the attachments from your teeth. Forcing the aligners on if they don't have spaces for your attachments can damage them, so make sure everything matches up. Hope that helps!
