I'm waiting for my first set (and I hope the only one) of refinements, however I thought my attachments would be removed before my impressions and I'd be waiting for the refinements without it while I still have all attachments on
Is this a normal procedure?

Attactments are usually removed for impressions for refinement because different movements may be required for different teeth during the refinement phase. I don't think it's "a normal procedure" but every case is different.

I had my first (and I hope the last one) set of refinements last week. Now basically my teeth look like I have fixed braces since on every single front tooth I've an attachment!!

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully this is your last set of refinements. How many sets do you have in this round?

I've 5 upper trays and 7 lower trays...so another 4 months at least
