“How much does Invisalign cost in Dubai?” This is the first question nearly every patient asks—and frustratingly, it’s the hardest to get a straight answer to. Search online and you’ll find vague ranges from AED 5,000 to AED 30,000. Call clinics and many won’t quote a price until you come in for a “consultation.” Some advertise unrealistically low prices, only to reveal much higher costs once you’re committed.
At myPediaClinic, we believe you deserve transparent pricing from the start. No games, no bait-and-switch, no hidden fees. This comprehensive guide breaks down everything you need to know about Invisalign costs in Dubai: what you’ll actually pay, what’s included, why prices vary so dramatically, and—critically—how to avoid paying Invisalign prices for cheaper aligner alternatives.
Let’s cut through the confusion and give you real answers.
Invisalign Cost at myPediaClinic: Transparent Pricing
At myPediaClinic Dubai Healthcare City, Invisalign treatment costs:
Starting at AED 15,000 for straightforward cases (mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or alignment issues)
AED 18,000-22,000 for complex cases (severe crowding, significant bite correction, extractions, longer treatment duration)
This comprehensive pricing includes:
Complete consultation with Dr. Mohamed Hasab, our certified orthodontist
Diagnostic records: Digital X-rays, intraoral photos, comprehensive examination
3D digital scanning with iTero technology (no messy impressions)
ClinCheck treatment planning—3D simulation of your treatment from start to finish
All custom Invisalign aligners (typically 20-50 sets depending on your case)
Attachments and accessories needed throughout treatment
Progress check-in appointments every 6-8 weeks throughout treatment
Refinement aligners if needed to perfect your results (no additional charge)
Vivera retainer sets (typically 3-4 sets) upon treatment completion
You receive an exact quote during your consultation based on your specific case complexity. What you’re quoted is what you pay—no surprise charges, no hidden fees, no upselling mid-treatment.
Why This Pricing is Fair and Competitive
AED 15,000-22,000 represents excellent value for genuine Invisalign treatment in Dubai. You’re receiving:
Certified orthodontic specialist care (not a general dentist offering Invisalign as a side service)
Authentic Invisalign aligners manufactured by Align Technology (not cheaper alternatives)
Premium location in Dubai Healthcare City with regulated medical standards
Advanced technology (iTero scanning, ClinCheck planning)
Comprehensive treatment including all appointments, refinements, and retainers
Transparent pricing with flexible payment options
When you compare what’s included to what other clinics charge (often quoting low base prices but charging separately for consultations, refinements, retainers, or “adjustments”), myPediaClinic’s all-inclusive pricing provides superior value.
Understanding Invisalign Pricing: Why Such Wide Ranges?
If you research Invisalign costs across Dubai, you’ll encounter prices from as low as AED 4,999 to as high as AED 30,000 or more. Why such dramatic variation?
Factor 1: Treatment Complexity
Not all Invisalign cases are equal. Treatment complexity directly impacts cost:
Simple Cases (AED 12,000-16,000): Minor crowding or spacing, minimal rotation, no bite correction. Treatment duration 6-12 months with 15-25 aligner sets. These cases are straightforward and require minimal orthodontist intervention.
Moderate Cases (AED 16,000-20,000): Significant crowding or spacing, multiple rotated teeth, mild to moderate bite issues. Treatment duration 12-18 months with 25-40 aligner sets. These cases require more complex planning and monitoring.
Complex Cases (AED 20,000-25,000+): Severe crowding requiring extractions, significant bite correction (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite), extensive rotations, or skeletal discrepancies. Treatment duration 18-24+ months with 40-60+ aligner sets plus possible refinements. These cases demand advanced orthodontic expertise.
Clinics advertising ultra-low prices (AED 5,000-8,000) are typically quoting only the simplest cases—and even then, these prices often don’t include everything you’ll ultimately need.
Factor 2: Provider Qualifications
Who’s providing your treatment significantly impacts pricing:
Certified Orthodontists (like Dr. Mohamed Hasab): Orthodontists complete 2-3 years of specialized training beyond dental school focused exclusively on tooth movement, facial growth, and bite correction. They charge appropriately for this advanced expertise. Typical range: AED 15,000-25,000 depending on case complexity.
General Dentists with Invisalign Training: General dentists can take a short Invisalign certification course (often just a weekend) and begin offering Invisalign. With less specialized training, they may charge less (AED 12,000-18,000) but may lack the expertise to handle complex cases or mid-course corrections.
Corporate Chains or “Low-Cost” Providers: Some dental chains advertise rock-bottom Invisalign prices (AED 7,000-10,000). These often involve: less experienced providers, high patient volume/rushed appointments, separate charges for consultations/retainers/refinements, or—critically—substituting generic clear aligners while marketing them as “Invisalign.”
You’re paying for expertise, not just plastic aligners. An orthodontist’s skill in treatment planning, progress monitoring, and problem-solving determines your final results.
Factor 3: What’s Actually Included
Always ask: “What exactly is included in the quoted price?” Many clinics separate charges:
Consultation fees: Some charge AED 500-1,000 for initial consultation (separate from treatment)
Records/scanning fees: Additional AED 1,000-2,000 for X-rays, photos, and digital scans
Retainer charges: Vivera retainers sold separately for AED 1,500-2,500
Refinement charges: If your teeth don’t track perfectly, additional aligner sets cost AED 2,000-5,000 extra
Appointment fees: Some clinics charge per check-in visit
A clinic quoting AED 12,000 for “Invisalign treatment” might ultimately cost AED 18,000-20,000 once all separate charges are added. Always get itemized breakdowns showing what’s included.
Factor 4: Location and Overhead
Clinic location affects pricing:
Premium areas (Dubai Healthcare City, DIFC, Downtown, Jumeirah) have higher rents and operating costs, reflected in pricing. However, these locations also typically maintain higher standards, modern facilities, and regulatory oversight.
Free zone clinics or less central locations may offer lower prices due to reduced overhead. However, convenience matters—factor in travel time, parking, and accessibility when comparing prices.
Factor 5: Are You Getting Genuine Invisalign?
This is critical: some ultra-low-priced “Invisalign” treatment isn’t actually Invisalign at all. Cheaper clear aligner alternatives (ClearCorrect, K Line, generic systems) are marketed as “Invisalign-style” or “just like Invisalign” at prices like AED 5,000-10,000.
These alternatives lack:
Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack material (less predictable tooth movement)
ClinCheck digital planning software (less precise treatment planning)
Decades of clinical research (outcomes are less predictable)
Quality control and manufacturing precision (aligners fit poorly or break)
Refinement guarantees (if treatment fails, no recourse)
If a price seems too good to be true, verify you’re actually receiving genuine Invisalign manufactured by Align Technology—not a cheaper substitute.
Payment Options at myPediaClinic: Making Invisalign Affordable
myPediaClinic offers flexible payment solutions to make Invisalign treatment accessible:
Interest-Free Installment Plans
Spread your payment over 6-12 months without interest charges. Example: AED 15,000 treatment paid over 12 months = AED 1,250/month. No credit checks, no interest fees—simple, transparent installments.
Health Insurance Coverage
Many UAE health insurance plans include orthodontic benefits covering 25-50% of treatment costs up to a lifetime maximum (typically AED 5,000-10,000). Covered insurers often include:
Aetna, AXA, BUPA, Cigna, Daman, Dubai Health Authority (DHA) plans, Nextcare, Neuron, Oman Insurance, Saico.
Our team verifies your coverage and handles claims processing to maximize your benefits. If your insurance covers AED 7,500, your out-of-pocket cost for AED 15,000 treatment drops to AED 7,500—highly affordable.
Corporate Health Benefits
Many Dubai employers provide health benefits including dental/orthodontic coverage. Check with your HR department about available benefits. We work with major corporate plans and can bill your employer directly in many cases.
Credit Card Payments
We accept all major credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express. If your card offers points, rewards, or 0% installment plans, you can take advantage of those benefits.
Family Package Pricing
If multiple family members need Invisalign treatment (common with parents and teenage children), ask about family package pricing. Treating multiple patients simultaneously may qualify for discounted rates.
Invisalign Cost Comparison: Dubai vs. Other Markets
How does Dubai’s Invisalign pricing compare internationally?
United States: USD 3,000-8,000 (AED 11,000-29,000)
U.S. Invisalign costs vary widely by location and provider. Major metropolitan areas (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco) see prices at the higher end. Dubai’s AED 15,000-22,000 range is comparable to mid-tier U.S. pricing.
United Kingdom: GBP 2,000-5,500 (AED 9,000-25,000)
UK Invisalign pricing is similar to Dubai. NHS doesn’t cover cosmetic orthodontics for adults, so patients pay privately. Dubai’s pricing is competitive.
Other GCC Countries (Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar): Similar to Dubai
Neighboring Gulf countries have comparable Invisalign pricing (AED 12,000-25,000 range). Dubai offers more provider options and competitive pricing due to market saturation.
India/Thailand/Southeast Asia: AED 6,000-15,000
Medical tourism destinations offer significantly lower prices. However, consider: travel costs, multiple trips needed (initial consultation, progress appointments, final retainers), language barriers, difficulty addressing mid-treatment issues, and varying quality standards. The cost savings may not justify the complications.
Bottom line: Dubai’s Invisalign pricing is competitive globally, especially considering convenience, quality standards, and no international travel required.
The True Cost of Cheap Invisalign Alternatives
Dubai’s market is flooded with low-cost “Invisalign-style” treatment. Before choosing based on price alone, understand what you’re sacrificing:
Generic Clear Aligners: Why They Cost Less
ClearCorrect (AED 8,000-12,000): A legitimate but lower-cost alternative. ClearCorrect uses different aligner material (less elastic, less comfortable), simpler treatment planning software, and less clinical research backing. Results are decent for simple cases but less predictable for complex situations.
K Line Clear Aligners (AED 5,000-8,000): Popular Korean aligner system. Minimal research, inconsistent manufacturing quality, no proprietary technology like ClinCheck. Treatment outcomes are highly variable—some patients get decent results, others experience poor fit, slow progress, or incomplete correction.
Generic/In-House Aligners (AED 3,000-6,000): Some clinics 3D-print aligners in-house or use Chinese manufacturers. These systems bypass decades of Invisalign’s material science research and biomechanical engineering. Quality is unpredictable—aligners may crack, fit poorly, or fail to move teeth as planned.
What You Risk with Cheap Alternatives
Extended treatment time: Generic aligners often require 2-3x longer than Invisalign to achieve similar results (if they achieve them at all).
Poor final results: Teeth may improve somewhat but not reach the planned ideal position. You’re left with “sort of straight” teeth instead of the beautiful smile you envisioned.
Additional costs: When generic treatment fails or stalls, you may need to switch to traditional braces or restart with Invisalign—paying twice for orthodontic treatment.
No recourse: Unlike Invisalign (which includes refinement aligners to perfect results), generic systems often have no guarantee. If treatment doesn’t work, you’ve wasted money with no remedy.
Oral health risks: Poorly fitting aligners can cause gum irritation, tooth pain, or root damage if forces are applied incorrectly.
The “Fake Invisalign” Problem
Most concerning: some Dubai clinics advertise “Invisalign” at prices like AED 6,000-9,000, but provide generic alternatives instead. Patients believe they’re receiving Invisalign, pay near-Invisalign prices, but receive inferior products.
How to verify you’re getting genuine Invisalign:
Ask explicitly: “Will I receive genuine Invisalign aligners manufactured by Align Technology?”
Check the provider directory: Verify your clinic appears on Invisalign’s official provider locator
See the ClinCheck plan: Genuine Invisalign includes ClinCheck digital planning with Invisalign branding
Inspect your aligners: Genuine Invisalign aligners have the Invisalign logo printed on them, unique aligner numbers, and a distinctive “starflower” pattern visible when held to light
Check packaging: Genuine Invisalign comes in branded Invisalign packaging, not generic bags or clinic-branded boxes
Don’t pay Invisalign prices for cheaper alternatives. If price seems suspiciously low, investigate before committing.
Return on Investment: Is Invisalign Worth the Cost?
AED 15,000-22,000 is a significant investment. Is it worth it?
Financial Perspective
Consider the longevity: with proper retention, Invisalign results last a lifetime. If you’re 30 years old and live to 80, you’re paying AED 15,000 for 50 years of benefit—AED 300 per year, or less than AED 1 per day. When viewed this way, the cost becomes remarkably reasonable.
Professional Impact
For working professionals, appearance impacts career outcomes. First impressions in interviews, client-facing roles, presentations, and networking situations all depend partly on your smile. Confident, straight teeth can influence:
Interview success rates
Client trust and relationships
Perceived professionalism and competence
Promotion and leadership opportunities
Salary negotiation confidence
While impossible to quantify exactly, career advantages from improved confidence can far exceed the initial investment.
Social and Psychological Benefits
The psychological impact of feeling confident about your smile affects daily quality of life:
No longer hiding your smile in photos
Greater comfort in social situations
Reduced self-consciousness in conversations
Improved self-esteem and mental wellbeing
Increased willingness to meet new people
These intangible benefits improve life satisfaction in ways that transcend monetary value.
Oral Health Benefits
Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing long-term risk of:
Cavities (saving costs of fillings, crowns, or root canals)
Gum disease (preventing expensive periodontal treatments)
Tooth loss (avoiding implant costs of AED 8,000-15,000 per tooth)
TMJ problems and jaw pain (preventing chronic issues requiring treatment)
Invisalign isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a preventive health investment that may save substantial dental costs over your lifetime.
Comparison to Other Cosmetic Investments
Consider what else AED 15,000 might buy:
Teeth whitening: AED 1,500-3,000 (temporary—requires repeating every 1-2 years)
Veneers (6-8 teeth): AED 20,000-40,000 (permanent but requires shaving down healthy teeth)
Luxury handbag: AED 10,000-20,000 (depreciates in value)
Short vacation: AED 10,000-15,000 (memories last, but physical benefit doesn’t)
Invisalign provides permanent physical improvement that benefits you daily for decades. Few investments offer comparable lasting value.
Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign Cost in Dubai
How much does Invisalign cost on average in Dubai?
Genuine Invisalign treatment from qualified orthodontists in Dubai typically costs AED 12,000-25,000 depending on case complexity. At myPediaClinic, treatment starts at AED 15,000 for straightforward cases, with complex cases up to AED 22,000. This includes consultation, scanning, all aligners, appointments, refinements, and retainers.
Why do some clinics advertise Invisalign for AED 5,000-8,000?
Ultra-low prices usually indicate: generic clear aligner alternatives (not genuine Invisalign) marketed as “Invisalign-style” treatment; quoted base price that doesn’t include necessary components (consultation, retainers, refinements charged separately); or bait-and-switch advertising (low price to get you in, actual cost revealed later). Always verify you’re receiving genuine Invisalign and ask what’s included in the quoted price.
Does insurance cover Invisalign in Dubai?
Many UAE health insurance plans include orthodontic coverage—typically 25-50% of treatment costs up to a lifetime maximum (commonly AED 5,000-10,000). Coverage varies by insurer and plan. Some insurers consider adult orthodontics “cosmetic” and don’t cover it, while others provide substantial benefits. myPediaClinic verifies coverage and assists with claims to maximize your benefits.
Are payment plans available for Invisalign?
Yes. myPediaClinic offers interest-free installment plans spreading payment over 6-12 months. For AED 15,000 treatment paid over 12 months, that’s AED 1,250/month. We also accept all major credit cards, work with insurance providers, and can coordinate with corporate health benefits to make treatment accessible.
What’s included in Invisalign treatment cost at myPediaClinic?
Our all-inclusive pricing includes: comprehensive consultation with Dr. Mohamed Hasab, diagnostic records (X-rays, photos), iTero 3D digital scanning, ClinCheck treatment planning, all custom Invisalign aligners (20-60+ sets depending on your case), attachments and accessories, progress check-in appointments every 6-8 weeks, refinement aligners if needed, and Vivera retainer sets upon completion. No hidden fees.
Is Invisalign more expensive than traditional braces in Dubai?
At myPediaClinic, Invisalign and traditional braces cost approximately the same—both starting around AED 15,000 for straightforward cases. You’re not paying a premium for Invisalign; you’re choosing the treatment approach that best fits your lifestyle and preferences. Some clinics charge more for Invisalign, but this isn’t universal.
What if I can’t afford Invisalign—are there legitimate cheaper alternatives?
If Invisalign pricing is beyond your budget, honest alternatives include: traditional metal braces (often slightly less expensive, AED 12,000-18,000); payment plans spreading Invisalign costs over 6-12 months; maximizing insurance benefits; or waiting and saving until you can afford the treatment you truly want. We don’t recommend generic clear aligner alternatives marketed at low prices—results are unpredictable and you may waste money on ineffective treatment.
How do I verify I’m getting genuine Invisalign and not a cheaper substitute?
Ask explicitly if you’ll receive genuine Invisalign aligners manufactured by Align Technology. Verify the provider appears in Invisalign’s official provider locator directory. Insist on seeing your ClinCheck treatment plan with Invisalign branding. When you receive aligners, inspect for the Invisalign logo printed on each aligner, unique aligner numbers, and the starflower pattern visible when held to light. Genuine Invisalign comes in branded packaging.
Does Invisalign cost differ for teens vs. adults?
Pricing is based on case complexity, not patient age. A simple teen case and a simple adult case cost similarly. However, Invisalign Teen includes 6 free replacement aligners (addressing the higher loss risk with teenagers), which provides added value for families. At myPediaClinic, both teen and adult treatment starts at AED 15,000.
Are consultations free or do they cost extra?
At myPediaClinic, initial Invisalign consultations are complimentary—no charge to meet Dr. Mohamed Hasab, discuss your smile goals, receive an evaluation, and get a transparent treatment quote. Some clinics charge AED 500-1,000 for consultations separate from treatment cost. Always ask if consultation fees exist and whether they’re applied toward treatment if you proceed.
What if my treatment requires refinements—are those extra?
At myPediaClinic, refinement aligners (additional aligners to perfect your results if teeth don’t track exactly as planned) are included in your treatment cost—no extra charge. Some clinics charge AED 2,000-5,000 for refinements as a separate fee. This is a critical question to ask: “Are refinements included or extra?”
Do retainers cost extra after Invisalign treatment?
At myPediaClinic, your initial Vivera retainer sets (typically 3-4 sets) are included in your treatment cost. Some clinics charge separately for retainers—AED 1,500-2,500 additional. Years later when your retainers wear out and need replacement, there will be a charge for new sets (typically AED 800-1,200 per set), but initial retainers are included in your treatment price.
Is it worth traveling outside Dubai for cheaper Invisalign?
Medical tourism destinations (India, Thailand, Turkey) offer lower Invisalign prices (AED 6,000-12,000). However, consider: international travel costs (multiple trips needed for consultation, progress checks, and final appointments), time away from work/family, language barriers, difficulty addressing mid-treatment problems remotely, and varying quality standards. For most Dubai residents, local treatment provides better overall value despite slightly higher upfront costs.
Can I negotiate Invisalign pricing?
Some clinics have flexibility, particularly for: treating multiple family members (family package discounts), paying full treatment cost upfront (cash discounts), or treating during promotional periods. It doesn’t hurt to ask. However, be wary of clinics offering huge discounts—this may signal they’re using cheaper alternatives, have less experienced providers, or will charge separately for components to make up the difference.
What’s the most expensive part of Invisalign treatment?
The aligners themselves (manufactured by Align Technology) represent a significant cost component—approximately AED 4,000-6,000. However, you’re primarily paying for orthodontic expertise: treatment planning, progress monitoring, problem-solving, and refinements. Dr. Mohamed Hasab’s skill determines your final results—the aligners are tools, but expertise makes them work effectively.
Are there hidden costs I should watch out for?
Ask specifically about: consultation fees, diagnostic records fees (X-rays, scans), retainer charges, refinement charges, appointment charges, attachment removal fees, and emergency visit fees. At myPediaClinic, we provide all-inclusive pricing—what’s quoted is what you pay. Some clinics separate these charges, significantly increasing final costs beyond the advertised “treatment price.”
Does Invisalign cost more for complex orthodontic problems?
Yes. Complex cases requiring longer treatment (18-24+ months), more aligner sets (40-60+), extractions, or significant bite correction cost more—typically AED 20,000-25,000. Simple alignment cases (6-12 months, 15-25 aligners) cost less—AED 12,000-16,000. Dr. Mohamed Hasab evaluates your specific case during consultation and provides an accurate quote based on your complexity.
Is Invisalign worth the cost compared to living with crooked teeth?
This is personal and depends on how much your orthodontic concerns bother you. For many patients, Invisalign is life-changing—boosting confidence, improving professional presence, and enhancing quality of life daily for decades. For others with minor concerns, the cost may not feel justified. If crooked teeth significantly impact how you feel about yourself, most patients report Invisalign was absolutely worth the investment—wishing they’d done it sooner.
Can I get a discount if I pay for Invisalign upfront in full?
Some clinics offer 5-10% discounts for full upfront payment (avoiding payment plan administrative costs). myPediaClinic’s pricing is already competitive and transparent, so discounts may be limited. However, ask during consultation—flexibility may exist depending on circumstances.
What happens if I start Invisalign treatment and can’t continue paying?
This depends on your payment arrangement. If you’ve paid in full upfront, treatment continues unaffected. If you’re on an installment plan and stop paying, treatment may be paused or discontinued. Discuss payment concerns openly with the clinic—they may be able to adjust your plan, extend the timeline, or find solutions. Communication is key.
