How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Dubai?
Invisalign Treatment Cost in Dubai 2026 Guide
Your smile is one of the most valuable assets you have – this phrase has never rung more true than in Dubai. Cosmetic dental procedures have become more prevalent over the past several years as patients seek more discreet methods of straightening teeth.
While the idea of Invisalign has definitely been on your mind, you probably find yourself wondering, "how much will this actually cost me?"
The simple answer is that there is no "one size fits all" price for Invisalign in Dubai. Your treatment depends on your dental alignment issues, the treatment timeframe, and your orthodontist's expertise. To clear things up, we cover everything below, including average costs, hidden fees, insurance benefits, and even 0% payment plans.
Quick Cost Overview: Average Invisalign Prices in Dubai
Everyone's treatment plan is custom-built to their dental needs, but the prices below are considered market rate in Dubai for 2026. Most packages include the cost of digital scans, aligners, and follow-up appointments.
Invisalign Plan | Targeted Concern | Estimated Cost (AED) |
Invisalign Express (i7) | Extreme minor crowding/gaps | 7,000 – 12,000 |
Invisalign Lite | Mild to moderate corrections | 12,000 – 18,000 |
Invisalign Full/Moderate | Major issues or complications | 16,000 – 25,000+ |
Invisalign Teen | Youth aligners with compliance markers | 18,000 – 26,000 |
Invisalign Express (i7)
This plan is designed for patients who require only EXTREMELY minor corrections, or for those experiencing "orthodontic relapse" after childhood metal braces. Express includes up to 7 tray sets. This is the most budget-friendly Invisalign option, starting at AED 7,000.
Invisalign Lite
Lite is your "middle-of-the-road" Invisalign plan. It's ideal for mild to moderate spacing/crowding issues that don't require jaw realignment. Prices range from AED 12,000 to 18,000.
Invisalign Full / Comprehensive
Patients with severe bite problems, such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or severe overcrowding, may require the Comprehensive plan. It provides unlimited aligners to ensure your smile is perfect. Starting at AED 16,000 – 25,000+
Invisalign Teen
Designed for teens whose adult teeth have not yet fully erupted. These trays have “compliance indicators" (a blue dot that disappears when worn) to ensure that you are wearing them for the required amount of time. It costs between AED 18,000 and 26,000.
What Influences Invisalign Cost in Dubai?
When you get two vastly different quotes from two different clinics in Dubai, it never happens by chance. Certain factors affect how your treatment will impact your wallet.
Case Complexity
How much do your teeth need to move? The more movement needed, the more aligners you will be prescribed. A "Full" case may be broken into 40+ trays, while an "Express" case only requires 7. Case complexity affects the number of attachments (small tooth-colored bumps) and chair time spent with the doctor.
Provider Expertise
Invisalign ranks its providers into different tiers (Diamond, Platinum, Gold, etc.) based on the number of cases they perform each year. Visiting a higher-tier provider typically comes at a premium. However, the experience often leads to quicker results with fewer "refinement" trays needed at the end of your treatment.
Clinic Location & Facilities
Operational costs are far higher for clinics in Downtown Dubai or Jumeirah than for clinics outside the town. Additionally, some clinics skip purchasing the latest iTero™ Element scanners, which eliminate gooey physical impressions. These upgrades (or lack thereof) can impact your cost.
Technology Used & Treatment Inclusions
When asking for quotes, be sure you know if your payment includes:
iTero 3D Digital Scan of your mouth.
ClinCheck® Software: Your virtual 3D treatment plan.
Vivera™ Retainers: The clear retainers you'll need after treatment.
Professional Teeth Whitening: Most clinics in Dubai will offer Invisalign with a whitening package for a complete smile makeover.
Your Invisalign Journey: Itemized Price Breakdown
You should always know the "breakdown" of what you're being charged. Below is a typical overview of what your visit to Emirates Dental will look like:
Consultation & 3D Scan
The first step in your journey is the initial consultation. Our dentist will use an iTero scanner to map your mouth in high-definition 3D. Some clinics offer free scans as part of a promotion. Others will charge around AED 300–500, which is normally deducted from the final treatment price.
Custom Treatment Plan & ClinCheck®
This is where the "magic" happens. Our dentist feeds your information into the proprietary software and watches as your teeth transform from their current state to your end goal. You will literally be able to watch your “end state” weeks before your first aligner is manufactured.
Preparatory Work
Your mouth must be healthy before straightening can begin. Keep in mind your cost could increase if you need:
Professional teeth cleaning (scaling & polishing).
Cavity fillings if you have active tooth decay.
Tooth extractions (rare for Invisalign patients, but needed for severe overcrowding sometimes).
First Set of Aligners + Instructions
Your custom trays will arrive from the Invisalign factory, and visit again to have your first pair fitted. Your dentist may place “attachments” to help the aligners grip certain teeth more effectively.
Follow-Up Visits & Aligner Changes
Unlike braces, which require adjustments each month, you'll typically visit your dentist every 6-8 weeks to ensure you're on track. Each visit, you'll receive your next set of trays.
Refinement Aligners
Your teeth will rarely be done after your initial set of trays. It's common for a handful of teeth to need retouching. Most "Full" treatment plans include this final round of trays at no additional cost. "Lite" patients may pay per tray.
Retainer Fitting + Retention Costs
Retention is something you'll need after Invisalign. The Vivera Retainers are usually an additional line item on your invoice (typically around AED 1,500–2,500 for a set of three), unless they're already included in your treatment quote.
Is Invisalign Worth the Investment?
Sure, it may be a tad pricier than your at-home aligner kits, but the technology and professional oversight make Invisalign worth every penny.
Invisible: Almost invisible. If you work in an office or professional environment in Dubai, you won't want to risk metal braces.
No Restrictions on Food: Say goodbye to "brace foods". No more popping popcorn or eating nuts! Brushing and flossing are also easier than threading dental floss between wires.
Comfortable & No More Emergencies: Invisalign trays won't irritate your gums. There will be no broken brackets or wires that require you to make "emergent" trips to the dentist.
Predictable Results: Big dollars have been invested ($1 billion+) in Invisalign's proprietary SmartTrack™ material, as well as the 15 million+ previous patients who've worn them.
