Choosing an Invisalign Provider in Atlantic Wharf

How Invisalign Works Under the Hood
SmartTrack material is Align Technology's proprietary aligner plastic, engineered to apply consistent, gentle force across planned movements. It's designed to fit more precisely and hold predictable force over the life of each tray.
ClinCheck software builds a 3D model of your teeth and maps every stage of movement, letting you preview the expected result before treatment starts. Your clinician reviews and refines the plan before any trays are made.
iTero scanning is the digital scanner that captures your teeth in minutes without messy putty. The scan drives the plan and is reused at progress visits; it's standard at most Atlantic Wharf Invisalign practices.
Attachments are discreet composite nubs placed on certain teeth so the tray can achieve rotations and vertical shifts it couldn't manage on shape alone. Nearly all cases use some.
