✨ What Are Invisalign Attachments? Let’s Break It Down 🦷

If you're on an Invisalign journey, you might have tiny tooth-coloured bumps on some teeth, these are called attachments!

What are they?

Attachments are small, custom-shaped pieces of dental material that help your aligners grip your teeth better. They're designed by your orthodontist to make specific tooth movements more efficient and effective.

Why are they important?

Not all teeth move the same way. Attachments act like little anchors, helping your Invisalign trays apply just the right pressure where it’s needed most.

✅ Placed by your orthodontist
✅ Blend in with your teeth
✅ Removed when treatment is complete

These tiny additions play a big role in achieving your dream smile! 😁
