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 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 Cottenden providers.

Attachments are small tooth-coloured composite bumps bonded to specific teeth, giving the aligner something to grip for trickier movements like rotations. Most cases involve at least a few.
