Invisalign pairs proprietary SmartTrack material with the ClinCheck planning platform for precise, staged tooth movement. It is available from a number of certified providers in and around Braetongue. The iTero scanner, ClinCheck 3D simulation and SmartTrack aligners give clinicians tight control over each stage.
The Invisalign Product Range
Invisalign Comprehensive is the full treatment option for moderate to complex cases, with unlimited refinement trays within the treatment cycle — suitable for significant crowding, spacing and bite correction.
Invisalign Lite targets simple front-tooth alignment with a fixed tray allowance — good value when the case is genuinely mild, but not for bite work.
Invisalign Go offers a simplified workflow for mild anterior cases through trained GDPs — appropriate for cosmetic front-tooth tweaks, not complex treatment.
Invisalign Teen is built around teenage development — wear-indicator dots, replacement trays for the inevitable lost aligner, and space for erupting teeth.

The Invisalign System Explained
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 does away with physical impressions — a quick digital scan builds the 3D model, feeds ClinCheck, and monitors tracking at each review. It's routine among Braetongue providers.
Attachments are the small bonded bumps that let aligners grip and control harder movements. They're tooth-coloured, removed at the end, and used in the majority of cases.

How many hours a day do I wear Invisalign?
Invisalign must be worn 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking anything but water, and cleaning. Consistently wearing them less than this slows treatment and can stop the trays tracking, leading to refinements or a longer course.
What is the difference between Invisalign and generic clear aligners?
Invisalign's SmartTrack material, ClinCheck digital planning and iTero scanning are proprietary to Align Technology, and it has the largest clinical dataset of any aligner brand. Generic brands vary a lot more in material quality and how much clinical oversight goes into the plan.
