Invisalign Treatment Isn’t Just About Clear Aligners
Invisalign is known for offering a discreet and flexible way to straighten teeth, but what many people don’t realise is that attachments are often a key part of treatment. These small, tooth-coloured shapes are bonded to your teeth to help aligners grip better and guide more precise movements.
Invisalign Attachments Help Move Teeth More Effectively
Invisalign attachments are strategically placed by your specialist orthodontist Dr Jimenez, to apply pressure in specific directions. The aligners alone may not always be able to make certain complex shifts, like rotating a tooth or pulling it down. That’s where attachments come in. They act as anchor points so your aligners can do their job more efficiently and predictably.
Invisalign Attachments Are Discreet and Customised
Invisalign attachments are made from tooth-coloured dental composite and shaped to blend in naturally with your smile. Depending on your treatment plan, you may need just a few attachments or several. They’re designed specifically for your teeth and the movements needed to achieve your ideal result.
Invisalign Attachments Are Temporary and Easy to Remove
Invisalign attachments are gently bonded to the enamel and are completely safe. Once your treatment is finished or when they’re no longer needed, your orthodontist at Dr Jimenez will remove them without damaging your teeth. There’s no drilling involved, just a simple polish.
