Price brackets in Dubai
- Invisalign Express (7–10 aligners, minor corrections): AED 8,500–12,000
- Invisalign Lite (14 aligners, moderate cases): AED 12,000–17,000
- Invisalign Comprehensive (full cases, 25+ aligners): AED 17,000–28,000
- Invisalign Teen with compliance indicators: AED 16,000–24,000
What determines the bracket
Number of aligners
More aligners = more complex case = more lab work = higher cost.
Case difficulty
A mildly rotated front tooth needs 5 aligners. Full bite correction with impacted canines can need 60+ aligners across multiple refinement stages.
Diamond-tier provider vs general dentist
Diamond-tier Invisalign providers (top 1% globally by case volume) charge a premium but typically deliver more predictable results with fewer refinements. At Paradise Dental, our orthodontist is Diamond-tier certified.
Refinements included
A fair quote includes 1–2 rounds of refinement aligners (extra aligners made after the first set to perfect the final position). Clinics that don't include refinements may charge extra per round.
Retainers
Top providers include the first set of retainers after treatment. Lower-priced clinics sometimes charge AED 1,500–2,500 extra for retainers.
What should be in your quote
- Full initial records — x-rays, photos, 3D scan: AED 600–1,500
- Invisalign ClinCheck design fee (Align Technology): AED 1,200–2,500
- All aligners for the initial plan (however many needed)
- All refinement aligners (1–2 rounds)
- In-treatment adjustments: attachments, IPR (filing between teeth), check-ups every 6–8 weeks
- Final retainers (Vivera): AED 1,800–3,000 value
- 6-month post-treatment follow-up
Financing options
- Tabby / Tamara (4 months interest-free): available for amounts up to AED 15,000
- Bank EMI (0% for 6–12 months): common for AED 15,000+ plans
- Clinic in-house payment plan: spread over the treatment duration (usually 12–18 months for comprehensive cases)
Invisalign vs traditional braces — price
- Invisalign: AED 12,000–28,000
- Metal braces: AED 6,000–12,000
- Ceramic braces: AED 8,000–15,000
- Lingual (behind-teeth) braces: AED 25,000–45,000
Invisalign sits between ceramic and lingual on price, with the major advantage of being removable.
What's included in a good Invisalign plan
- 3D scan (iTero) instead of traditional gooey impressions
- Digital preview of the final smile before you start
- SmileView forecasts sent to your phone
- Attachments (small tooth-coloured bumps) to grip aligners
- IPR done conservatively when needed
- Virtual check-ins between in-person visits
- Whitening trays built into retainers (at premium clinics)
Our honest take
An AED 8,000 Invisalign plan is usually restricted to very mild cases. Anything moderate or complex realistically starts at AED 15,000. Paying for a Diamond-tier provider typically costs 15–25% more but reduces refinements and extends results.
