As the market-leading clear aligner system, Invisalign is planned digitally from start to finish before a single tray is made. You'll find it offered by both specialist orthodontists and trained general dentists in Chawleigh. The iTero scanner, ClinCheck 3D simulation and SmartTrack aligners give clinicians tight control over each stage.
How Invisalign Works Under the Hood
SmartTrack material is the proprietary plastic that sets Invisalign apart — tuned to deliver steady, controlled force and to seat more accurately than standard aligner materials.
ClinCheck software produces the digital treatment plan — a stage-by-stage simulation your clinician approves before manufacture, and one you can usually see for yourself up front.
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 Chawleigh 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.
Invisalign Product Tiers
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 is the general-dentist product for front-teeth-only cases; it's fine for light cosmetic alignment but not for posterior movement or bite correction.
Invisalign Teen is built around teenage development — wear-indicator dots, replacement trays for the inevitable lost aligner, and space for erupting teeth.
