If you choose treatment with invisible braces, you will definitely encounter the term attachment . There is nothing to worry about, it is a very common practice that makes braces more effective .
An attachment is a small piece of composite that forms a protrusion on the tooth.
The protrusion is tooth-coloured and hardly anyone notices it from a distance, but it plays an important role in the whole process of straightening teeth. You really don't have to worry about their appearance! It tends to be most visible on the upper front teeth, but you can accommodate your preference and not place attachments on these teeth if necessary.
Whether the client will need attachments for successful treatment depends on the initial condition of the entire dentition. However, at World of Braces, we always use them and they make treatment many times more effective. How many and on which teeth the client will have them depends on the type and extent of treatment and the individual movements required. Unfortunately, no one can estimate this in advance until you are sitting in the orthodontist's chair. However, at Braces World, you will always know the placement and number of braces in advance thanks to the treatment plan and visualization.
Each attachment may be slightly different in shape and size, as we want to achieve a different movement for each client and each tooth.
If the attachment accidentally comes off, it's okay!
Braces continue to work. At Braces World, we will now have a constant overview of our clients' dental health thanks to the new Virtual Care technology. Therefore, if an attachment comes off, we will see everything in the app and invite you to our clinic if a repair is needed.
Attachments help the braces exert force in the desired direction and with the desired force. Thanks to them, it is possible to solve many complex cases with invisible braces.
Don't worry! It is not necessary to put them on every tooth.
After treatment, the attachments are removed and no trace of them remains!
Do not forget that the comparison of teeth is not only aesthetic matter!
Crooked teeth are more likely to decay, are harder to clean, plaque builds up more easily and can even cause gingivitis. Uneven teeth can also cause mispronunciation of certain sounds and a bad bite can cause teeth grinding, headaches or jaw pain.
