Invisalign is the world's most widely used clear aligner brand, backed by the largest clinical dataset in the field. It is available from a number of certified providers in and around Stone Heath. Every stage of movement is modelled and reviewed by your clinician before manufacture begins.

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 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 Stone Heath use it as standard.

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.
