Which Invisalign Product Fits Your Case?
Invisalign Comprehensive handles the broadest range of cases, including bite correction and heavier crowding, and includes refinements within the cycle to finish the result.
Invisalign Lite is the shorter, lower-cost option for mild crowding or spacing, capped at a set tray count and without the open-ended refinements of Comprehensive.
Invisalign Go is the general-dentist product for front-teeth-only cases; it's fine for light cosmetic alignment but not for posterior movement or bite correction.
Invisalign Teen includes the features parents and clinicians want for younger patients: fade-with-wear indicators, lost-tray replacements, and eruption compensation.
Choosing an Invisalign Provider in Applethwaite
Provider tier (Provider, Preferred, Elite, Diamond) reflects how many Invisalign cases a practice completes each year. In Applethwaite it's a helpful proxy for experience — but it isn't the whole story, and case complexity should guide your choice.
Beyond tier, the questions that matter are what's included in the fee, who will actually treat you, and how the practice manages refinements if the result needs fine-tuning.
