For a brand-name aligner backed by decades of clinical data, Invisalign remains the default reference point. You'll find it offered by both specialist orthodontists and trained general dentists in Fforest-fach. You can usually preview a 3D simulation of your finished result before treatment is even approved.
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 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 is built around teenage development — wear-indicator dots, replacement trays for the inevitable lost aligner, and space for erupting teeth.

The Invisalign System Explained
SmartTrack material is Align's own aligner polymer, built to keep force consistent from day one to day fourteen of each tray and to fit more snugly than generic materials.
ClinCheck software turns the scan into a staged animation of your tooth movement, which the treating clinician adjusts and signs off before the aligners are produced.
iTero scanning does away with physical impressions — a quick digital scan builds the 3D model, feeds ClinCheck, and monitors tracking at each review. It's routine among Fforest-fach providers.
Attachments are discreet composite nubs placed on certain teeth so the tray can achieve rotations and vertical shifts it couldn't manage on shape alone. Nearly all cases use some.
