Invisalign Provider Tiers in Durness
Provider tier (Provider, Preferred, Elite, Diamond) reflects how many Invisalign cases a practice completes each year. In Durness it's a helpful proxy for experience — but it isn't the whole story, and case complexity should guide your choice.
When comparing providers, confirm whether the fee includes refinements and retainers, what scanning technology they use, and how often they review progress — each affects both outcome and total cost.
The Invisalign Product Range
Invisalign Comprehensive is the flagship package for anything beyond mild: it covers complex movement and bundles the refinement trays needed to land the final position.
Invisalign Lite targets simple front-tooth alignment with a fixed tray allowance — good value when the case is genuinely mild, but not for bite work.
Invisalign Go is aimed at general dental practices for mild anterior cases only, using a streamlined plan and shorter series. Anything beyond simple belongs with a specialist on Comprehensive.
Invisalign Teen adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.

Will I need retainers after Invisalign?

Most patients receive a fixed bonded retainer for the front teeth and a removable Vivera or similar retainer for overnight wear. Vivera retainers are made by Align Technology using the same SmartTrack material as Invisalign trays.
