hiii i have some questions. i recently got invisalign and started to realize i have no idea what i've gotten myself into. so i have a few questions if anyone can help me =]

1. i have spaces for 6 attachments, does this mean i will have these 6 attachments through the entire procedure? Meaning just because there is the space for them in the aligners does the always necessarily mean my ortho will put an attachment there?

2. i have 26 uppers and 10 lowers. what is going to happen when im done with my lowers but not my uppers?

thank you so so much

for question 2..,
i believe you keep wearing the same bottom tray a certain period of time until u get your retainer. and every visit you pick up your new tray, they would clean the bottom also since your going to continue wearing that one. im not 100% sure, but i did get that from a female doing a video blog of her treatment.
