Invisalign pairs proprietary SmartTrack material with the ClinCheck planning platform for precise, staged tooth movement. Several Cray Valley West practices carry Invisalign certification at varying provider tiers. Every stage of movement is modelled and reviewed by your clinician before manufacture begins.
The Technology Behind Invisalign
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 Cray Valley West providers.
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.
Which Invisalign Product Fits Your Case?
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.
