The information we gathered from your iTero scans is sent digitally to Align Technology, the company behind Invisalign. In the Align Technology plant an automated process divides the desired movements into a series of “baby” steps, and each step is a new aligner tray. These custom trays specific only to the patient are then printed with a 3D printer. From there, a piece of plastic is heated, pressure adapted, trimmed, and polished to finish off each custom aligner. The aligners are then bagged in sequence and shipped to our offices in Austin.
