Invisalign is a popular teeth-straightening treatment that uses clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Invisalign attachments are small, tooth-colored buttons that are bonded to the teeth to provide a grip for the aligners. While Invisalign aligners can be removed by the patient, the attachments must be removed by a dentist.
Any dentist can remove Invisalign attachments, but it is generally recommended to see the dentist who placed them. This is because the dentist will be familiar with the patient's treatment plan and will be able to remove the attachments without damaging the teeth. Removing Invisalign attachments is a simple procedure that typically takes only a few minutes. The dentist will use a special tool to gently remove the attachments from the teeth. Once the attachments are removed, the patient can continue with their Invisalign treatment as usual.
