Invisalign First is designed for children between the ages of six and ten. It is largely designed for early intervention where to do nothing would risk damage to a particular tooth or gum. For example if some teeth were very prominent and at a risk of traumatic injury. Also Invisalign teen can be used to decrease the complexity of future orthodontic treatment, perhaps by making space for teeth that haven’t come up yet. It is rare that Invisalign First would be your only orthodontic treatment and is more likely the start of the road.

Invisalign Comprehensive is designed for patients who need more significant adjustments to their teeth- basically anything which cannot be reliably completed in less than 20 sets of aligners. The treatment typically lasts between 12 and 24 months and involves any number of aligners required- regularly 40-60 sets of aligners.

Invisalign Lite is a mid-level Invisalign treatment that is designed for patients who need more extensive treatment than Invisalign Express but less than Invisalign Comprehensive. The treatment typically lasts between nine and twelve months and involves 14 sets of aligners. This would be a very common treatment modality for people as you can achieve quite a bit in those 14 aligners. It’s a great treatment choice for adults who had train tracks in their teens and misplaced their retainers!

Invisalign Express is a shorter version of the full Invisalign treatment and is designed for patients who need minor adjustments to their teeth. The treatment typically lasts around six months and involves seven sets of aligners. In fairness in my experience not many peoples teeth fall into this category. It can often be treated as a bit of a top up after previous treatment or before some other dental work like a crown to reduce the amount of trimming needed to a particular tooth.
