The Technology Behind Invisalign
SmartTrack material is Align Technology's proprietary aligner plastic, engineered to apply consistent, gentle force across planned movements. It's designed to fit more precisely and hold predictable force over the life of each tray.
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 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 Under the Wood 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.
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 is the shorter, lower-cost option for mild crowding or spacing, capped at a set tray count and without the open-ended refinements of Comprehensive.
Invisalign Go is aimed at general dental practices for mild anterior cases only, using a streamlined plan and shorter series. Anything beyond simple belongs with a specialist on Comprehensive.
Invisalign Teen adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.
