Dental hygiene tips for healthy teeth & gums
Invisalign aligners are a tooth straightening treatment that works just like traditional metal braces but more comfortably and easily. Invisalign aligners have attachments to move the teeth to their ideal position. In some cases, Invisalign alone can not push the teeth to the desired position; therefore, they need some extra support from appliances to provide the proper movement and pressure in the teeth, and attachments help with that.
A lot of people don’t understand what exactly an Invisalign attachment is? An Invisalign attachment is small tooth-colored dots or bumps attached to your teeth using dental composites. Attachments help guide your teeth to move to their new position.
If your Invisalign attachment fell off, you can easily get it fixed by visiting your dentist. However, there are some adverse effects that attachments can cause if they fall off very often; it can cause a delay in your Invisalign treatment, it can make your teeth more misaligned, and it can undo all the treatment progress because you can not wear your aligners if the Invisalign attachment falls off.
Lastly, if you face any problem with your Invisalign treatment, you must consult your dentist for proper treatment.
