Invisalign in Oldstead

Invisalign pairs proprietary SmartTrack material with the ClinCheck planning platform for precise, staged tooth movement. It is available from a number of certified providers in and around Oldstead. You can usually preview a 3D simulation of your finished result before treatment is even approved.

How Invisalign Works Under the Hood

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 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 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 Oldstead Invisalign practices.

Attachments are small tooth-coloured composite bumps bonded to specific teeth, giving the aligner something to grip for trickier movements like rotations. Most cases involve at least a few.
