Invisalign Provider Tiers in Purtington
Provider tier (Provider, Preferred, Elite, Diamond) reflects how many Invisalign cases a practice completes each year. In Purtington 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.
Invisalign Product Tiers
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 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 adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.
