The technology includes:
- iTero Scanner
- ClinCheck software
- Digital smile simulation
- Digital 3D printing
These digital technologies combined to create a seamless treatment experience. Below is an outline of how they work together to create and execute your treatment plan.
iTero Scanner
iTero scanning technology enables our Invisalign dental specialist to take a detailed 3-D scan of your teeth. The scan is far more accurate than a traditional tray impression, using thousands of images of your teeth that are digitally stitched together.

- Invisalign for Crossbite
- Invisalign for Crowded Teeth
- Invisalign for Underbite
- Invisalign for Gap Teeth
- Invisalign for Open Bite
ClinCheck Software
Once our dentist has scanned your teeth, they will use proprietary Invisalign software to view the 3-D digital scan and create your treatment plan.
The sophisticated software lets our dentist plan how each tooth will shift during treatment. A proprietary algorithm calculates the right amount of force that can be safely used to move teeth.
The outcome is a treatment plan that ensures every tooth is moved in the correct order and at precisely the right time. Each tooth movement is planned from your first aligner to your last.
Digital Smile Simulation
Have you wondered how your new smile will look after treatment? Digital smile simulation software enables you to preview the results.
Digital smile simulation is an invaluable part of the process. It allows us to show you how your new smile is predicted to look after you complete treatment. You can view digitally created images showing how your teeth will straighten, giving you a great idea of how your teeth will look afterward.
These digital images are also your chance to participate in the treatment planning process. You can discuss each tooth movement in detail with our Invisalign dentist, ensuring you get the desired results.
Patient Experience
Digital 3-D Printing
Once your treatment plan is complete, each set of aligners is created using the latest digital 3-D printing process. The aligners are made from specialized SmartTrack material that was engineered for Invisalign.
The result is custom-created aligners that fit your teeth exactly, ensuring your treatment plan is replicated precisely.
What Does Digital Invisalign Technology Mean for Me?
Invisalign digital technology will benefit you in several ways.
A More Comfortable Experience
If you currently find having a traditional tray impression uncomfortable at best or, at worst, makes you gag, you can look forward to a much more comfortable experience with Invisalign.
SmartTrack material is smooth, and the aligners are designed to be as comfortable as possible.

Predictable Results
Seeing how your smile will look before you begin treatment can be immensely reassuring, especially if you are unsure Invisalign will provide the results you desire.
You can receive predictable results because treatment is planned from start to finish. Before you even begin, you know exactly how your teeth will move and have an excellent idea of how they will look once straightened.
Discreet Treatment
Above all, Invisalign aligners are discreet and very noticeable once in the mouth. If you need Smart Force attachments to increase the efficacy of your treatment, you can rest assured these are very noticeable.
The attachments are made from tooth-coloured composite resin and are fitted onto your teeth before you begin treatment or during Invisalign treatment. They help provide something for the aligners to grip onto, enhancing the forces applied by your aligners to gently yet firmly move your teeth into the right positions. Not everyone will need these attachments.
Align Technology, the company that owns Invisalign, has spent decades researching and refining the technologies used in this system. The result is a digital workflow designed to enhance patients’ experience during treatment while providing optimal results.
