I just got 6 attachments on both top and lower a few days ago. Not only are the very noticable but they are yellow. My teeth are pretty white but not obnoxiously white, just normal!
So i would think they could at least match them to my tooth! Has anyone else had this problem?? Im wondering if there is another color/ type of material they can use. When I said something to the dental tech who applied them she said "they look fine" and didnt care too much what i thought. It's bad enough I look like i have legos on my teeth-I dont want them yellow and grungey looking!!! Id appreciate any info thanks!!

Hi there,
I can't offer much advice other than to say that mine are completely clear. Are you able to post a picture? Mine are made from what looks like a clear plasticy type material.

I never heard this before. My attachments seem to match my tooth color pretty well. I'm not sure if Invisalign has different colors to choose from, but they should if they don't.

Hi, My attachments are the same color as my teeth, but I also noticed some yellowing around them. I was told it was the glue they use to attach them. Ask if maybe that is the case in your situation. I don't know if they could or even would consider another option for you, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Good Luck. Jean
