For a brand-name aligner backed by decades of clinical data, Invisalign remains the default reference point. Certified providers across Crosthwaite deliver it through Align Technology's audited, consistent system. Digital scanning replaces messy impressions and feeds straight into the treatment plan.
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 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 Crosthwaite 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.
The Invisalign Product Range
Invisalign Comprehensive handles the broadest range of cases, including bite correction and heavier crowding, and includes refinements within the cycle to finish the result.
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 adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.
