Aligner attachments, also known as buttons or bumps, are small tooth-colored shapes that are placed on the teeth during Invisalign treatment. These attachments act as anchor points for the aligner trays, helping to guide teeth into their desired position more effectively. Aligner attachments are often necessary for more complex orthodontic cases, as they allow the aligners to apply the appropriate pressure to specific areas of the teeth. We will carefully evaluate your orthodontic needs and determine if aligner attachments are necessary for your Invisalign treatment plan.
In addition to providing more precise orthodontic treatment, aligner attachments also offer several other benefits. They can help shorten the duration of your Invisalign treatment, as they allow for more efficient tooth movement. They can also help prevent the need for more invasive orthodontic treatments like braces or additional aligners. Aligner attachments are typically very small and discreet, so they won’t affect the appearance of your smile during treatment. If you’re considering Invisalign treatment, we can provide you with more information on the use of aligner attachments and whether they are necessary for your specific orthodontic needs.
