If you are considering Invisalign to straighten your smile, you want to find the best Invisalign provider available. That is why you should choose an Invisalign Diamond+ provider. We hear you. What does being a Diamond+ provider mean in terms of service, reliability, and cost?
Explaining Invisalign Provider Ratings
Invisalign rates providers on a point system. Orthodontists are awarded points for each successful treatment plan. The rating system has eight levels:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Gold+
- Platinum
- Platinum+
- Diamond
- Diamond+
In order to reach the level of Diamond+ Invisalign provider, an orthodontist needs to complete more than 200 successful treatments using Invisalign technology. While that may seem like a small number, it needs to be accomplished every year to maintain Diamond+ provider status. Only one percent of all Invisalign providers reach Diamond+ provider status.
Not only does Invisalign rate their provider network, but they also provide training and certification. This ensures that patients receive consistent care from any Invisalign provider. The rating system readily displays the level of experience a provider has in the number of patients served.
Why Choose an Invisalign Diamond+ Provider
When you are searching for an Invisalign provider for you and your family, selecting the most experienced orthodontist has many benefits. First, they will have a record of successful treatment plans and satisfied patients.

Checking online reviews is a great way to evaluate a doctor and their service. You don’t need to limit your search to their website. There are individual review services available with Yelp, Google, and a host of others. Although you may find the occasional poor review, you can weigh that against good reviews. Reviewing what actual patients say allows you to get a good idea about a doctor and their practice.
When it comes to cost, Invisalign can be an expense. But most orthodontists work with insurance companies, Health Savings Accounts, and offer payment plans. This can defray the costs to allow Invisalign to fit within even tight budgets. Promotional offers are also available in some cases. As you research providers, make sure to review how they handle the cost of Invisalign. The cost will not vary much from one provider to another, although it is generally less expensive in rural areas.
Explore the benefits of Invisalign treatment over other forms of orthodontic treatment. Although Invisalign was initially created to treat minor problems, the technology has improved a lot since 1999. Invisalign is now capable of correcting malocclusions from minor to complex. The efficiency of treatment has increased with technology such as the iTero intraoral scanner and the development of SmartTrack material.
Invisalign has also grown to include treatments for teens and younger Phase 1 patients. As the treatment system continues to improve, orthodontists receive additional training. This ensures that you are always receiving state-of-the-art treatment from qualified providers.
