For a brand-name aligner backed by decades of clinical data, Invisalign remains the default reference point. Several Ratlinghope practices carry Invisalign certification at varying provider tiers. You can usually preview a 3D simulation of your finished result before treatment is even approved.
Invisalign Product Tiers
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 covers mild cases with a defined number of trays. It's cheaper than Comprehensive but doesn't include unlimited refinements, so it suits straightforward alignment only.
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.

The Invisalign System Explained
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 produces the digital treatment plan — a stage-by-stage simulation your clinician approves before manufacture, and one you can usually see for yourself up front.
iTero scanning is the digital scanner that captures your teeth in minutes without messy putty. The scan drives the plan and is reused at progress visits; it's standard at most Ratlinghope Invisalign practices.
Attachments are small tooth-coloured composite bumps bonded to specific teeth, giving the aligner something to grip for trickier movements like rotations. Most cases involve at least a few.
