What are Invisalign buttons?
One definition that we found online, that we liked:
So what are invisalign buttons or attachments and where are they placed? The Invisalign attachments are actually an anchor that is positioned strategically depending on your treatment plan and what they’re for is to give a bigger area to be able to grasp on to so that the aligners can move the teeth. Sometimes to turn them, sometimes to move them down or up but essentially that is what the buttons are for… Taken from realself.com

I am looking for braces but after seeing this I would like to go for Invisible Aligners. They would look much better than braces. But, i have a doubt, after wearing the aligners would I be able to eat everything I want or its the same as with the braces.
