For a brand-name aligner backed by decades of clinical data, Invisalign remains the default reference point. It is available from a number of certified providers in and around Mealsgate. The iTero scanner, ClinCheck 3D simulation and SmartTrack aligners give clinicians tight control over each stage.
The Technology Behind Invisalign
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 Mealsgate providers.
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.
Which Invisalign Product Fits Your Case?
Invisalign Comprehensive is the flagship package for anything beyond mild: it covers complex movement and bundles the refinement trays needed to land the final position.
Invisalign Lite is the shorter, lower-cost option for mild crowding or spacing, capped at a set tray count and without the open-ended refinements of Comprehensive.
Invisalign Go offers a simplified workflow for mild anterior cases through trained GDPs — appropriate for cosmetic front-tooth tweaks, not complex treatment.
Invisalign Teen adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.
