As the market-leading clear aligner system, Invisalign is planned digitally from start to finish before a single tray is made. It is available from a number of certified providers in and around Southhouse. Digital scanning replaces messy impressions and feeds straight into the treatment plan.
Invisalign Provider Tiers in Southhouse
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 Southhouse provider about their tier is a useful starting point.
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.

The Invisalign Product Range
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 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 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.
