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 Salum. Digital scanning replaces messy impressions and feeds straight into the treatment plan.
The Technology Behind Invisalign
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 Salum 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.

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 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.
