ORTHOTECH

One workflow. Six steps. No impression trays.

Going digital with Invisalign and iTero means replacing messy, multi-visit analogue processes with a single chairside-to-fabrication pipeline. Here's how the six steps work — and what they replace.

The Digital Workflow

From consultation to retainer, in six repeatable steps.

Connect. Scan. Plan. Treat. Monitor. Retain. Every Invisalign case follows the same digital backbone — and Orthotech supports your practice through each.

01
Connect

Patient consultation, digital records.

Capture intraoral photos, treatment goals, and case history digitally — and use iTero Outcome Simulator to show patients their future smile in real time.

  • Photo & X-ray capture
  • Outcome Simulator preview
  • Case acceptance tools
02
Scan

60-second full-arch intraoral scan.

The iTero scanner captures full-arch anatomy in colour, in under a minute. No more gag reflex. No more retakes. No more shipping boxes.

  • iTero Element 5D Plus
  • Colour & NIRI imaging
  • Instant STL export
03
Plan

ClinCheck Pro models every tooth movement.

Before any aligner is fabricated, you see the entire treatment in 3D. Approve, request modifications, and lock the plan — sub-millimetre accurate.

  • 3D treatment visualisation
  • In-face outcome preview
  • Automatic staging
04
Treat

Custom aligners shipped to your practice.

A series of SmartTrack aligners — each one trimmed to your patient's gumline — arrives ready for fitting. Orthotech supports your clinical delivery.

  • SmartTrack material
  • SmartForce features
  • Predictable wear schedule
05
Monitor

Track progress with TimeLapse & personalised plans.

Re-scan at intervals, compare with iTero TimeLapse, and adjust if needed. Invisalign Personalised Plan adds case-specific guidance.

  • TimeLapse visual comparisons
  • Compliance indicators
  • Refinement workflows
06
Retain

Vivera retainers lock in the result.

Three sets of 3D-printed retainers, made from the final scan — durable, clear, and manufactured in the same Align factory as the aligners themselves.

  • 3D-printed retainers
  • Three-set replacement schedule
  • Long-term retention plan
Why it matters

The shift is patient-led. The tools just keep up.

75% of patients could benefit from straighter teeth. More than half of prospective adult orthodontic patients specifically ask for Invisalign. Practices that can't offer a digital consultation lose those patients — not to a competitor down the street, but to one with an iTero in the chair.

Before / After

What changes when you go digital.

A side-by-side look at the steps that disappear from your day — and the capabilities that replace them.

Analogue workflow

Alginate, plaster, courier, lab queue.

  • 5–10 minutes per impression; patients retake for gag reflex or distortion
  • Plaster models shipped between practice, lab, and aligner vendor
  • Treatment plan is 2D — no in-face preview, no shared visual
  • Refinements require new impressions from scratch
  • Material waste from impression trays, plaster, and shipping

Digital workflow

One scan. One plan. One approval.

  • 60-second chairside scan, full arch, colour, no retakes
  • STL file transfers instantly to ClinCheck Pro in the cloud
  • 3D plan with in-face visual; patient sees their future smile
  • Refinements use the existing scan — no new impressions
  • No impression waste; aligners are made to plan, not to model

Treatable cases

More cases treatable than ever.

From simple crowding to complex Class II and III cases, the Invisalign system now covers the vast majority of orthodontic indications — including teens, adults, and mixed dentition.

Crowding

Mild to severe — Invisalign now resolves complex crowding with planned interproximal reduction and arch development.

Spacing

Close anterior and posterior gaps predictably, with controlled space redistribution for restorative cases.

Open bite

Posterior intrusion with SmartForce features — predictable anterior open-bite closure in adult cases.

Crossbite

Anterior and posterior crossbite correction, with expansion features built into the aligner geometry.

Class II

Combined with mandibular advancement features for teen patients — treats the bite, not just the alignment.

Class III

Combined with elastics and staging protocols — predictable Class III correction for the right case mix.
