Invisalign pairs proprietary SmartTrack material with the ClinCheck planning platform for precise, staged tooth movement. Certified providers across Rathmell deliver it through Align Technology's audited, consistent system. You can usually preview a 3D simulation of your finished result before treatment is even approved.
The Invisalign System Explained
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 replaces traditional impressions with a digital intraoral scan, producing a precise 3D model in minutes. It feeds straight into ClinCheck and tracks progress at reviews — most Invisalign providers in Rathmell use it as standard.
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 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 covers mild cases with a defined number of trays. It's cheaper than Comprehensive but doesn't include unlimited refinements, so it suits straightforward alignment only.
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.
