Invisalign pairs proprietary SmartTrack material with the ClinCheck planning platform for precise, staged tooth movement. Several Sco Ruston practices carry Invisalign certification at varying provider tiers. Every stage of movement is modelled and reviewed by your clinician before manufacture begins.
The Invisalign System Explained
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 turns the scan into a staged animation of your tooth movement, which the treating clinician adjusts and signs off before the aligners are produced.
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 Sco Ruston use it as standard.
Attachments are discreet composite nubs placed on certain teeth so the tray can achieve rotations and vertical shifts it couldn't manage on shape alone. Nearly all cases use some.

The Invisalign Product Range
Invisalign Comprehensive handles the broadest range of cases, including bite correction and heavier crowding, and includes refinements within the cycle to finish the result.
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 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.
