For a brand-name aligner backed by decades of clinical data, Invisalign remains the default reference point. Several Slaggan practices carry Invisalign certification at varying provider tiers. Digital scanning replaces messy impressions and feeds straight into the treatment plan.
How Invisalign Works Under the Hood
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 turns the scan into a staged animation of your tooth movement, which the treating clinician adjusts and signs off before the aligners are produced.
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 Slaggan 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.
Invisalign in Slaggan — Local Context
What's available in Slaggan depends on the practice, so it's worth checking directly what each one offers. See local practice availability in Slaggan → Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces.
As a guide, Invisalign Lite starts from around £2,500 in Slaggan for milder cases, rising to roughly £5,500 for Invisalign Comprehensive on more complex full-arch cases. Confirm trays, refinements and retainers are included in any quote.
The Invisalign Product Range
Invisalign Comprehensive is the full treatment option for moderate to complex cases, with unlimited refinement trays within the treatment cycle — suitable for significant crowding, spacing and bite correction.
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 adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.

Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after switching to a new tray — a sign the aligner is working. It is generally milder than the soreness after a fixed-brace adjustment. Over-the-counter pain relief and switching trays before bed both help.
How many hours a day do I wear Invisalign?
Invisalign must be worn 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking anything but water, and cleaning. Consistently wearing them less than this slows treatment and can stop the trays tracking, leading to refinements or a longer course.
