How Invisalign Works Under the Hood
SmartTrack material is the proprietary plastic that sets Invisalign apart — tuned to deliver steady, controlled force and to seat more accurately than standard aligner materials.
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 Upper Sundon 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.
Invisalign Product Tiers
Invisalign Comprehensive handles the broadest range of cases, including bite correction and heavier crowding, and includes refinements within the cycle to finish the result.
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 offers a simplified workflow for mild anterior cases through trained GDPs — appropriate for cosmetic front-tooth tweaks, not complex treatment.
Invisalign Teen includes the features parents and clinicians want for younger patients: fade-with-wear indicators, lost-tray replacements, and eruption compensation.
