What Do Invisalign® Attachments Do?

Invisalign is a device that can help straighten your teeth. Aligners will move your teeth into their new positions. They do this by using pressure applied by the aligner. You will wear them for about two weeks at a time. Remove them long enough to clean them before putting them back in place for another two weeks.

 

If you wear Invisalign®, there is a small risk of irritation or infection. You can avoid this by following your dentist’s instructions carefully. If you don’t clean your aligners well, or if you get food stuck in them, you might get gum problems.

What Are Invisalign Buttons?

Invisalign buttons are plastic trays in your mouth to help your teeth move. You only need to wear them for a little while, and then you can take them out and replace them with new ones.

 

Invisalign buttons are made of a transparent material that is similar to plastic. Depending on which tooth they fit over, there are different sizes and shapes. The buttons go between the molars and back teeth. You can’t see them when you smile or talk.

Invisalign Process

You will need to wear Invisalign buttons for at least 22 hours daily. You can take them off to eat, brush, and floss. But you will need to wear the attachments for a few weeks or months before moving on to the next stage of treatment.


Some people might feel discomfort when they start wearing Invisalign buttons. This is usually because the buttons put pressure on the teeth and gums. If you feel discomfort, try placing a warm washcloth over the attachments for a few minutes. This might help ease the pain.


Invisalign buttons are an essential part of your treatment. You need to brush and floss around them every day. Avoid eating hard or sticky foods that can damage them. If you have questions about caring for your Invisalign buttons, be sure to ask your orthodontist.
