The Invisalign System Explained
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 Chignall Smealy 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.
