why braces
Invisalign attachments:
How do they look like? What Invisalign won’t tell you…
Look at this photo, this is what Invisalign markets to the general public on how their appliance looks like. The truth of the matter is there is NO WAY you can move teeth with just plastic alone.
That’s where Invisalign attachments come in, here is an example of how they look on the Clincheck (the computer software program that Invisalign uses to setup tooth movement).
NOTE: The attachments are only red on the Clincheck because they are easier to see and move on the Clincheck simulation software.

So why are attachments needed?
Attachments allow you to PUSH teeth in the right direction. It’s different from braces where teeth can be pushed and pulled in different directions using brackets and wires. Each attachment is custom designed to execute the proper tooth movement, or they are used to help pit teeth against each other to perform bigger movement of a group of teeth. They are utilized to move teeth into creating a proper smile.
