Invisalign in The Rigg

For a brand-name aligner backed by decades of clinical data, Invisalign remains the default reference point. You'll find it offered by both specialist orthodontists and trained general dentists in The Rigg. Every stage of movement is modelled and reviewed by your clinician before manufacture begins.

The Technology Behind Invisalign

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 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 The Rigg Invisalign practices.

Attachments are the small bonded bumps that let aligners grip and control harder movements. They're tooth-coloured, removed at the end, and used in the majority of cases.

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 is the general-dentist product for front-teeth-only cases; it's fine for light cosmetic alignment but not for posterior movement or bite correction.

Invisalign Teen adds compliance-indicator dots that fade with wear, free replacement trays for lost aligners, and extra allowance for teeth still erupting.
