What are Invisalign attachments?
What are Invisalign attachments?
They are small, tooth-coloured composite attachments bonded to selected teeth to help your aligners apply the right amount of pressure in the right direction.
Why are they needed?
They act like tiny ‘anchors’, giving your aligners extra grip and control to guide more complex tooth movement.
Are they noticeable?
Invisalign attachments are designed to be as discreet as possible.
While you may notice them when looking closely, most people won’t see them during everyday conversations.
How many will I need?
Every smile is different, so the number of attachments varies from person to person.
Some patients may need only a few, while others may require more, depending on the movements needed, such as rotating teeth, closing spaces, or improving alignment.
Your personalised treatment plan will determine exactly where attachments are needed to achieve the most precise and predictable results.
