Which Invisalign Product Fits Your Case?
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 is the shorter, lower-cost option for mild crowding or spacing, capped at a set tray count and without the open-ended refinements of Comprehensive.
Invisalign Go offers a simplified workflow for mild anterior cases through trained GDPs — appropriate for cosmetic front-tooth tweaks, not complex treatment.
Invisalign Teen is built around teenage development — wear-indicator dots, replacement trays for the inevitable lost aligner, and space for erupting teeth.
Finding the Right Invisalign Provider in Shotley Common
Align Technology grades certified providers by annual case volume — Provider, Preferred, Elite and Diamond. Higher tiers have treated more cases and tend to be more comfortable with complex situations, so asking a Shotley Common provider about their tier is a useful starting point.
Beyond tier, the questions that matter are what's included in the fee, who will actually treat you, and how the practice manages refinements if the result needs fine-tuning.
