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 Sortat. You can usually preview a 3D simulation of your finished result before treatment is even approved.
Invisalign Product Tiers
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 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 is built around teenage development — wear-indicator dots, replacement trays for the inevitable lost aligner, and space for erupting teeth.

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 produces the digital treatment plan — a stage-by-stage simulation your clinician approves before manufacture, and one you can usually see for yourself up front.
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 Sortat providers.
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.
