For a brand-name aligner backed by decades of clinical data, Invisalign remains the default reference point. It is available from a number of certified providers in and around The Flatts. 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 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 The Flatts providers.
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.
Choosing an Invisalign Provider in The Flatts
Provider tier (Provider, Preferred, Elite, Diamond) reflects how many Invisalign cases a practice completes each year. In The Flatts it's a helpful proxy for experience — but it isn't the whole story, and case complexity should guide your choice.
Beyond tier, the questions that matter are what's included in the fee, who will actually treat you, and how the practice manages refinements if the result needs fine-tuning.
