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 offers a simplified workflow for mild anterior cases through trained GDPs — appropriate for cosmetic front-tooth tweaks, not complex treatment.
Invisalign Teen includes the features parents and clinicians want for younger patients: fade-with-wear indicators, lost-tray replacements, and eruption compensation.

How Invisalign Works Under the Hood
SmartTrack material is Align Technology's proprietary aligner plastic, engineered to apply consistent, gentle force across planned movements. It's designed to fit more precisely and hold predictable force over the life of each tray.
ClinCheck software builds a 3D model of your teeth and maps every stage of movement, letting you preview the expected result before treatment starts. Your clinician reviews and refines the plan before any trays are made.
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 Foots Cray providers.
Attachments are the small bonded bumps that let aligners grip and control harder movements. They're tooth-coloured, removed at the end, and used in the majority of cases.
