The Invisalign System Explained
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 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 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 Dyffryn-castell Invisalign practices.
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.

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.

Invisalign uses Align Technology's proprietary SmartTrack material, ClinCheck 3D planning software, and iTero digital scanning. It is backed by the largest clinical dataset in the clear aligner industry. Generic aligner brands vary considerably in quality, material, and the level of clinical oversight involved in treatment planning.
Can I drink coffee or alcohol with Invisalign?
Stick to plain water with the trays in — coffee, tea, red wine and fizzy or sugary drinks will stain them and risk decay underneath. Take them out to drink, then brush (or at least rinse) before putting them back.
