What Does Certified Platinum Invisalign Provider Mean?
Certified Platinum Invisalign Provider is a status Align Technology, the maker of Invisalign, assigns to dentists and orthodontists who complete a high number of Invisalign cases each year. It is a volume and experience based recognition, not a separate license or specialty certification. Align Technology updates provider tiers periodically, based on the number of Invisalign cases started in a defined period.
Dr. Sandeep Kaur, DDS, of RiteSmile Dental in Branchburg, NJ holds this designation. She remains a general dentist with advanced Invisalign training, not an orthodontist, and every treatment plan is customized after a full clinical evaluation.
How Do Dentists Earn Platinum Status?
Align Technology places providers into tiers based primarily on case volume over a rolling period. While exact thresholds are set by Align and can change, the general pattern across the industry works like this:
| Provider Tier | General Basis | What It Signals |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze / Entry | Newly certified to offer Invisalign | Basic training completed |
| Silver | Moderate annual case volume | Growing case experience |
| Gold | Consistent annual case volume | Established case experience |
| Platinum | High annual case volume | Extensive, ongoing case experience |
| Diamond / Top Tier | Very high annual case volume | Among the most experienced providers |
Key insight: Provider tiers reflect how many Invisalign cases a dentist has treated, not a guaranteed clinical outcome. Results still depend on individual diagnosis, patient compliance, and treatment planning.
This is why Dr. Kaur pairs her Platinum-level case experience with a full diagnostic exam before recommending Invisalign clear aligner treatment to any patient in Branchburg, NJ.
Platinum vs Gold vs Diamond: What Is the Difference?
The main difference between Invisalign provider tiers is case volume, which generally correlates with hands-on experience managing a wide range of alignment cases, from simple spacing to more complex bite corrections.
| Factor | Platinum Provider |
|---|---|
| Case volume | High, sustained annual volume |
| Experience with complex cases | Typically broader than Bronze/Silver tiers |
| Access to Align resources | Often includes advanced planning tools |
| Guaranteed outcome | No tier guarantees a specific result |
Choose a Platinum provider if you want a dentist with substantial, ongoing Invisalign case experience. Always confirm your specific treatment plan and candidacy during a consultation, since tier alone does not determine whether Invisalign is right for your bite.

How Can You Verify an Invisalign Provider’s Tier?
You can verify any dentist’s current Invisalign provider tier directly through Align Technology’s official Invisalign.com Find a Doctor tool. Provider tiers can change annually as Align recalculates case volume, so it is worth confirming the current designation before booking.
Steps to verify a provider:
- Search the dentist’s name on the official Invisalign Find a Doctor directory.
- Check the listed provider tier, such as Gold, Platinum, or Diamond.
- Ask the practice directly to confirm current status and case experience.
- Review credentials, such as dental school and professional memberships, alongside the tier.
- Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific case before committing to treatment.

What Patients Value
I updated my original review to reflect my most recent experience.
When I changed changed my insurance plan I called months before my appointment to ask whether I would still be in network. No one ever got back to me, and I did not learn that they no longer accepted my insurance until I arrived for my next visit.
At that point, I was told I could pay out of pocket and that the office would submit the paperwork for me. Based on my experience, I would not recommend doing this. The insurance payment was sent to the office, but instead of refunding me, I was initially told the money would remain as a credit on my account—even though they already knew I would not be returning.
I had to go to the office at least twice to get my money back. When the refund check was finally written, the owner was present but did not acknowledge the situation, apologize for the confusion, or speak to me at all. The check was simply handed to me by the staff.
Afterward, while reviewing my records, I also noticed that I had been double-billed for my last visit.
The staff can be very friendly when scheduling appointments or asking patients to leave reviews, but when the office made mistakes, I experienced delays, poor communication, and a great deal of unnecessary runaround. I cannot say what their intentions were, but the way the insurance payment and refund were handled left me feeling uncomfortable and disappointed. These are the facts of my experience, and others can draw their own conclusions.
We definitely recommend RiteSmile!
great staff and dentist is very gental and through

Good dentist but bony pay up front
I had everything clearly explained to me, both the physical and financial aspects, and the doctor very skillfully performed the procedure. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you!
I didn’t find them via a recommendation - I just found the closest available office, but I would definitely recommend them to family and friends. I’ll definitely be back for cleanings and any other procedures I might need!
I called in RiteSmile for my filling etc in an emergency and found Jacque a very pleasant and friendly person to squeeze me in
Dr Kaur’s schedule, which I’m grateful. Everyone from Jacque, Lana, Laura and Dr Kaur took care of me and explained me in the best way which took away the fear I had of going to a dentist. Impressive technology, with high hygiene and perfect ambiance made my visit worthwhile. I’m so grateful to have found this place. I highly recommend them to everyone,I even will take my husband ????
