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 Upper Settle. Digital scanning replaces messy impressions and feeds straight into the treatment plan.
The Technology Behind Invisalign
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 Upper Settle providers.
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.
