Invisalign pairs proprietary SmartTrack material with the ClinCheck planning platform for precise, staged tooth movement. You'll find it offered by both specialist orthodontists and trained general dentists in Craigs Lower. Every stage of movement is modelled and reviewed by your clinician before manufacture begins.
Finding the Right Invisalign Provider in Craigs Lower
Align Technology grades certified providers by annual case volume — Provider, Preferred, Elite and Diamond. Higher tiers have treated more cases and tend to be more comfortable with complex situations, so asking a Craigs Lower provider about their tier is a useful starting point.
All certified providers complete Invisalign training before prescribing, but specialist orthodontists — with three years of postgraduate training beyond dental school — have the broadest grounding in tooth movement regardless of tier.

The Invisalign System Explained
SmartTrack material is Align's own aligner polymer, built to keep force consistent from day one to day fourteen of each tray and to fit more snugly than generic materials.
ClinCheck software turns the scan into a staged animation of your tooth movement, which the treating clinician adjusts and signs off before the aligners are produced.
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 Craigs Lower 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.
