When designing Invisalign treatments, we utilize a state-of-the-art digital workflow, combined with 3D printing technologies and advanced materials. These are all based on years of research and development. The technologies available at NYC Dentistry Center include:
- iTero Lumina intraoral scanner.
- ClinCheck software.
- Digital smile design.
- Computer-generated aligners using SmartTrack materials.
- Invisalign SmartForce Attachments.
- iTero Lumina Intraoral Scanner
Our iTero Lumina intraoral scanner utilizes the latest technologies to capture an accurate 3D digital impression of your teeth. It seamlessly integrates with Invisalign’s ClinCheck software, enabling us to plan your treatment accurately, step by step.
An intraoral scanner is comfortable, fast, and creates a high-resolution image of your teeth. Once complete, our Invisalign dentist can immediately check the scan on the screen in your treatment room.
This digital scan replaces an ordinary tray impression and is faster, much more precise, and more comfortable. It is especially beneficial for individuals with a strong gag reflex and those who dread ordinary tray impressions.
- ClinCheck Software
ClinCheck is Invisalign’s proprietary software used to create your custom treatment plan and is based on data collected from millions of smiles. The result is a sophisticated algorithm that enables us to plan how each tooth will move during treatment, and in what order, ensuring every tooth movement is accurate while using a gentle, safe amount of pressure to reposition teeth.
Preplanning your treatment provides a safe, precise, and predictable treatment outcome.
- Digital Smile Design
We understand that you are interested in how your teeth will look after treatment, and this is where Digital Smile Design can assist you. By manipulating digital images of your facial features and teeth, we can re-create your proposed treatment plan, showing you how your teeth should look after you have finished wearing your Invisalign aligners.
Digital smile design is the ideal way to assess if treatment is right for you and to become involved with the planning process.
- Computer-Generated Aligners Using SmartTrack Materials
All the aligners are computer-generated using SmartTrack materials. This ensures they are precise and will fit smoothly and tightly around your teeth.
SmartTrack is Invisalign’s patented material, the result of years of research and development during which hundreds of materials were tested. The outcome is a material that is smooth, comfortable, and fits snugly around your teeth. Invisalign aligners are easy to insert and remove. Using this material ensures every tooth movement is achieved using gentle, constant force.
- Invisalign SmartForce Attachments
Invisalign’s SmartForce attachments are not required in every case, but they can be used when more complex tooth movements are necessary. They are small buttons attached to teeth during your treatment. The buttons are tooth-colored, making them virtually invisible.
These attachments work like handles, allowing your aligners to grip onto teeth more easily, using gentle force in areas where needed. Smart Force attachments allow us to treat more complicated cases of misalignment more easily while still using Invisalign’s nearly invisible aligners.
All these different technologies combine to create a smooth, more predictable, and comfortable treatment process. You can relax knowing they are backed by years of research, giving proven results that have already helped many people worldwide.
Invisalign gently moves teeth into place using custom clear aligners for a comfortable, discreet treatment. Book dentist appointment today at NYC Dentistry Center to start your journey to a straighter, healthier smile.
