# Attachment placement and removal

Chapter 01 / The appointment course

 

Read the published account, then separate it from the details of a visit proposed to you\.

 

## The manufacturer's account

 

Invisalign® describes a template holding composite material against the teeth while light sets it into bonded attachments\. Removing a tray leaves those features behind; their removal belongs to the clinician\.

 

## Read the distinction

 

Two removals, different work: taking out your tray is not removing its attachments\. This manufacturer account does not define your local procedure, timing or fee\.

 

## A lost feature

 

Lost an attachment? Contact your treating orthodontist\.

 

Use your own team's established contact route\. The new\-patient consultation request below is not treatment support or a replacement appointment\.

 

## Source and scope

 

[Invisalign®, “Invisalign® Attachments”](<https://www.invisalign.com/resources/living-with-invisalign/invisalign-attachments>)  \(September 2023\): manufacturer product education\.

 

Your team confirms the proposed procedure, visit arrangements and charges for your individual care\.
