What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners instead of metal brackets or wires. Made from smooth SmartTrack material, Invisalign aligners gently shift your teeth into the proper position over time.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and allow you to practice good oral hygiene more easily. Patients can brush, floss, and eat without restrictions, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum irritation during treatment.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The average cost of Invisalign in Texas—and specifically at Pearland Dental Group—ranges between $3,000 and $8,000, depending on the complexity of your case.

Here’s a breakdown:

Invisalign Express: $2,500–$4,000 (for mild corrections, fewer aligners required)
Invisalign Lite: $3,500–$5,000 (for mild to moderate spacing or crowding)
Full Invisalign treatment: $5,000–$8,000 (complex orthodontic cases)

Your exact cost will vary depending on your treatment needs, the number of aligners required, and the duration of your treatment plan.

Factors That Affect Cost

Several key factors influence your Invisalign investment:

The Complexity of the Case

Treatment costs vary based on the severity of your alignment issues. Simple cases might require only 6-12 months of treatment, while more complex cases involving significant bite correction or rotation could take 18-24 months. Dr. Dave and Dr. Shah will provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

Geographic Location

While Pearland offers competitive pricing compared to central Houston, our costs remain lower than many metropolitan areas while maintaining the highest standard of care. We serve patients from Fresno, Alvin, League City, and throughout the Houston area, providing suburban convenience with city-quality care.

Practitioner’s Experience

Both Dr. Dave and Dr. Shah are experienced Invisalign providers who regularly pursue advanced training to ensure optimal results. While their expertise might reflect in the treatment cost, their skill helps ensure efficient treatment and beautiful results.

Dental Insurance

One of the most common questions we hear is: Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?

Most dental insurance plans treat Invisalign the same way they cover traditional metal braces.
Coverage often ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 toward treatment, though it may only cover a portion of the Invisalign cost.
Our team works with many insurance providers to help maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs.

We’ll check your insurance coverage and help you understand the cost implications of your specific policy.

Financing Options

If your insurance doesn’t cover Invisalign treatment costs, there are various dental financing options you may consider:

Payment Plans: Many dental offices offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to pay for your treatment over a specific period.
Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA): These accounts can be used for eligible dental expenses, including Invisalign.
Dental Loans or Credit Cards: Various lending companies, such as CareCredit, and credit card providers offer special financing for healthcare expenses, sometimes even interest-free if paid within a specified period.

Invisalign Alternatives

If the cost of Invisalign is too high for your budget, there may be some cheaper alternatives you can consider:

ClearCorrect: While pricing can vary, ClearCorrect is often somewhat less expensive than Invisalign. The treatment involves clear, custom-made, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth.
SmileDirectClub: SmileDirectClub offers an at-home service, sending clear aligners directly to your home. The treatment is supervised remotely by a dentist or orthodontist. This is generally cheaper than Invisalign treatment due to the lack of in-office visits.
Byte: Another at-home clear aligner system, Byte offers an all-day aligner system and an all-night option. It’s known for its faster treatment time, which can make it more cost-effective.

It can improve oral health by correcting bite issues and preventing tooth decay caused by misaligned teeth.
It helps prevent dental issues like uneven wear or jaw discomfort.
