Decoding Invisalign’s Optimized Attachment & Optimized Feature Hierarchy

Optimized attachments and optimized aligner features are just a small part of what makes Invisalign a very powerful tool in the hands of a skilled orthodontist. Barring special instructions from the doctor, Invisalign’s software will identify and place optimized attachments based on the movements prescribed by the orthodontist. This automation helps make designing treatment more efficient, but with complex movements, thresholds are often met in the software for several competing optimizations at the same time.
