When considering Invisalign, many patients ask about “attachments” — a small but crucial part of achieving precise and effective results.

Invisalign attachments are tiny, tooth-coloured bumps made of a composite resin material, similar to that used in dental bonding. These attachments are strategically placed on specific teeth to help the aligners grip better and apply the necessary force to move teeth more effectively. They are minimally visible, blending naturally with your teeth, and they allow Invisalign aligners to tackle more complex orthodontic cases that previously required traditional braces.

Our expert Invisalign dentists at The Welbeck Clinic use advanced digital scanning and treatment planning technology to determine exactly where these attachments should be placed for optimal results. The precise positioning enhances the aligner’s ability to rotate, extrude, or shift teeth into the desired position.

Once the attachments are bonded to your teeth, they work in tandem with your aligners. When you insert your Invisalign trays, they fit snugly over the attachments, allowing more controlled and targeted pressure to be exerted on each tooth. As you progress through your series of aligners, the attachments help guide your teeth gradually into their ideal alignment.

Typically, attachments are required for patients who need more complex movements, such as significant rotations, vertical adjustments, or closing larger gaps between teeth. They are easy to maintain and do not cause discomfort. Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, the attachments are gently removed, leaving your natural teeth intact and beautiful.
