Invisalign pairs proprietary SmartTrack material with the ClinCheck planning platform for precise, staged tooth movement. Certified providers across Machen deliver it through Align Technology's audited, consistent system. Every stage of movement is modelled and reviewed by your clinician before manufacture begins.
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 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 adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.
Invisalign Provider Tiers in Machen
Provider tier (Provider, Preferred, Elite, Diamond) reflects how many Invisalign cases a practice completes each year. In Machen it's a helpful proxy for experience — but it isn't the whole story, and case complexity should guide your choice.
All certified providers complete Invisalign training before prescribing, but specialist orthodontists — with three years of postgraduate training beyond dental school — have the broadest grounding in tooth movement regardless of tier.
