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 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 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 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'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 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 replaces traditional impressions with a digital intraoral scan, producing a precise 3D model in minutes. It feeds straight into ClinCheck and tracks progress at reviews — most Invisalign providers in Shirdley Hill use it as standard.
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.
