    Bright White Attachments

    I got Invisaligners about 5 weeks ago. I had to get 3 glue attachements on my top front teeth and 2 on my bottom teeth. The attachments are bright white and they really stand out like normal white braces. My doctor's office told me that the brightness would start to fade and they would match the color of my teeth, but so far they are still bright white. My teeth are pretty white, but not as bright as the attachments. Is there anything that can be done to make them less noticable?

    I've mentioned it elsewhere but my first ones matched my teeth perfectly. My new ones are definately very white. Although, having had them on a week they are starting to fade a little!

    Mine are kinda clear/white they match my teeth perfectly even after irn bru and curry they dont seem to stain. 6 weeks to go before I get them off. I've had 1 of 7 off but I'll be asking for it to be smoothed further.

    The attachments can be placed with many different brands of resin. The colour of them will depend on the type of resin used, the colour of your teeth, and your own diet patterns. One of the most popular resins used is 3M Unitek's Transbond.
