Invisalign at Smile Science
Pricing Overview
Invisalign Cost Ranges
by Treatment Level
Invisalign is not one-size-fits-all. The right level of treatment depends on the number of teeth being moved, the complexity of the correction, and the estimated number of aligners required. Here is how pricing breaks down at Smile Science.
Invisalign Lite
$2,500
All-in fixed price • 7, 14 aligners
Designed for minor relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. Your consultation confirms whether Lite fits your treatment needs.
Invisalign Limited
$3,500
Fixed price
Your consultation confirms which Invisalign tier fits your treatment plan.
Invisalign Moderate
$4,499
All-in fixed price • 12, 26 aligners
For moderate crowding, spacing, or bite corrections. Covers a wide range of everyday cases that do not require full comprehensive treatment.
Invisalign Comprehensive
$5,999
All-in fixed price • Unlimited aligners
Full-arch treatment for complex crowding, significant bite issues, or cases requiring extensive tooth movement. No limit on aligner count or treatment phases.
Invisalign Teen
From $4,499
Includes compliance indicators
Purpose-built for younger patients with developing dentition. Includes eruption tabs for incoming teeth and compliance indicator dots to help parents monitor wear time. See our Invisalign Teen page for details.
All prices are fixed and all-in for your complete treatment course. Exact tier assignment requires a clinical exam and 3D scan, your consultation is free.
Price Transparency
Most Glendale and Peoria dental offices don't publish Invisalign prices online, we do.
Our prices are fixed and all-in: no refinement charges added later, no separate retainer fee at the end, no per-aligner billing. The price you see on this page is what you pay. Your treatment plan will include specific fees before any work begins.
Transparency First
What the Fee Includes
Our Invisalign quote is all-in for your treatment plan. No per-aligner fees. No surprise charges mid-treatment. Here is exactly what is covered.
- Initial records: 3D digital scan, diagnostic X-rays, and clinical photos
- ClinCheck digital treatment plan with simulated before-and-after preview
- All aligner sets for your prescribed treatment course
- Progress check appointments throughout treatment
- One round of refinements (additional aligner sets if needed after initial series)
- Retainers at treatment completion to maintain your result
Optional Add-Ons
What Can Add to Cost
Most patients complete treatment within the included scope. The following are the most common out-of-scope costs to be aware of.
- Additional refinement rounds Most providers include one round. Complex cases occasionally need a second round, which is quoted separately before proceeding.
- Replacement aligners Lost or damaged aligners can be replaced for a per-tray fee. Keeping aligners in their case when not in your mouth prevents this cost entirely.
- Whitening kit Many patients choose to whiten their teeth during or at the end of Invisalign treatment. A professional take-home whitening kit is available as an optional add-on.

Why Invisalign Prices Vary
Between Providers
Your treatment plan will include specific fees before any work begins. The difference is rarely about the aligners themselves, Align Technology manufactures them the same way for every certified provider. The variation comes from what each practice wraps into the quote.
Refinements Included
Some offices quote a base fee that excludes refinements, additional aligner sets ordered after the initial series ends. Your treatment plan will include specific fees before any work begins.
Retainer Policy
Retainers are non-negotiable after orthodontic treatment, without them, teeth relapse. Your treatment plan will include specific fees before any work begins. At Smile Science, retainers are included in the treatment fee.
Doctor Experience
Invisalign treatment outcomes are heavily influenced by how well the treating doctor plans the case. Both Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are certified Invisalign providers with hands-on training in ClinCheck treatment planning.
Insurance Benefits
Using Your Insurance
for Invisalign
Most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits will apply those benefits to Invisalign exactly as they would to traditional braces. The benefit is tied to the procedure, orthodontic treatment, not the specific appliance used.
Orthodontic lifetime maximums typically range from $1,000 to $2,500 per insured person. Some employer plans offer higher maximums, particularly for adult orthodontic coverage.
We verify your insurance benefits before your consultation appointment so you arrive knowing your exact out-of-pocket estimate. Common plans we work with include Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, and BlueCross BlueShield PPO.
Pre-Tax Savings
FSA & HSA for Invisalign
Invisalign is classified as a qualified medical expense by the IRS, making it fully eligible for both Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
How Pre-Tax Savings Work
- Pay with FSA/HSA funds before income tax is applied
- Effective savings: 20%, 35% depending on your tax bracket
- HSA funds roll over year to year, no "use it or lose it" pressure
- Can be stacked with insurance benefits and financing
Example: A hypothetical $5,000 eligible expense paid with FSA funds in the 24% tax bracket saves approximately $1,200 in taxes compared to paying after-tax.

Worth It?
Invisalign vs. Braces:
Is It Worth the Cost?
| Factor | Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Nearly invisible | Visible metal |
| Removable | Yes, eat anything | No food restrictions |
| Oral hygiene | Remove to brush and floss normally | Harder to clean around brackets |
| Complex cases | Limited for severe bite issues | Better for severe corrections |
| Insurance coverage | Yes, orthodontic benefits apply | Yes, orthodontic benefits apply |
For most adults and teens with mild to moderate orthodontic needs, Invisalign delivers comparable outcomes to braces at a comparable cost, with a significantly better day-to-day treatment experience. See our full Invisalign vs. braces comparison.
Your fee is quoted in writing at your consultation, before any treatment.
Know the Difference
Invisalign vs. Mail-Order
Aligners
Your treatment plan will include specific fees before any work begins. That lower number looks attractive. But the comparison is not apples-to-apples.
Mail-order aligners are produced from home impressions or an unsupervised scan, with limited or no in-person dental exams. There is no dentist monitoring tooth movement, bone health, or bite. Movement errors may go undetected until damage has occurred.
What In-Office Invisalign Provides That Mail-Order Does Not
- Full dental exam before treatment starts, catch problems first
- 3D digital scan taken by trained staff, not a home impression kit
- Doctor-supervised treatment planning using ClinCheck software
- Regular monitoring appointments to catch issues early
- Refinements if teeth are not where they should be
- X-rays to verify bone and root health throughout treatment
- Retainers and a retention plan at treatment end
Correcting a poor outcome from unsupervised aligner treatment often costs more than the original Invisalign treatment would have. The savings are frequently illusory.

Medical Review & Evidence
Invisalign clear aligner therapy is supported by over 20 years of published clinical research and more than 15 million treated patients worldwide.
- Invisalign achieves equivalent orthodontic outcomes to fixed appliances for mild-to-moderate crowding and spacing cases, per systematic review evidence.[1]
- Patient-reported quality of life during Invisalign treatment is significantly higher than during fixed-appliance treatment, primarily due to comfort and aesthetics.[2]
- iTero digital scanning eliminates traditional impression material and provides greater dimensional accuracy than alginate impressions for orthodontic models.[3]
- ClinCheck treatment simulation enables clinicians to visualize and adjust tooth movement staging prior to aligner fabrication, improving treatment predictability.[4]

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Smile Science Dental Spa, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and service provided by the entire team. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are both incredibly skilled and made me feel completely at ease throughout my procedures. Their professionalism, combined with their gentle approach, made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. I was especially impressed that I was able to get a same-day crown(apparently their first ever!), which exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t believe how quick and seamless the process was. It really saved me time and made the experience even more convenient. Cindiray and Angeles, the dental assistants, were equally wonderful. They were not only friendly and attentive but also thorough in explaining everything and made sure I was relaxed during each phase of my visit. Lastly, a big thank you to Litzy at the front desk, who greeted me with a smile and helped with scheduling and any questions I had. She made the entire check-in process a breeze. From start to finish, my experience at Smile Science Dental Spa was exceptional. I'll be returning for sure. I highly, highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality dental care.

Honestly I’ve never been so happy to go to the dentist. I came in (late due to Lyft) and was still taken care of and treated with care. Even without insurance (kicking in within the next month) prices for an extraction on my infected tooth were more than reasonable. I was able to get more than expected done in the same visit. Dr. Dawson and his team made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else.

Myself and my family had previously gone to Dr. Turk at another dental office that he worked at. He had relocated and we did not know where he had gone to until this week. Today I got in with Dr. Turk and he took the time to look at my x-rays carefully . I was having pain from a tooth and some other issues. The previous Dentist I went to that I saw just a few days earlier, he did not find any issues with my tooth which I had pain in. Dr. Turk identified infection and referred me to an endodontist. He is very gentle as a wonderful disposition and my self and my family are thrilled to be able to get back with him. The office is lovely, relaxing music, heat and massage chair.I have always been very nervous and some anxiety going to dentist as I have had bad reactions with the anesthesia. I am confident that Dr. Kirk will help me get through my next appointment just fine. “The staff are very kind and attentive. I am looking forward as I have quite a bit of work to be done, and I know I’m in good hands with Dr. Turk and his staff. Five stars!⭐️ Sherry

I recently moved to Arizona and had an issue with a tooth repair from 15 years back. Not knowing anyone here in my new home, I searched dentists close to me. I chose Smile Science much like pinning the tail on the donkey and my selection couldn't have been better! What a terrific staff! Dr. Turke was concerned the tooth would need to be extracted, but said he wanted to take a shot at saving it..and that's just what he did! After setting a temporary crown, I was on my way with an appointment to install the permanent crown in the following two weeks. That evening I received a call I've never received from a dentist. Dr. Turke had taken the time to follow up with me to make sure I wasn't in any discomfort..I was completely caught off guard by this kind of attention to detail and caring for my well being. The permanent crown is now in place, it fits and feels fantastic, the job and treatment are first class! Thank you, Dr. Turke and staff for taking in this stray and giving me a home dentist! I'd like to say that I'm just good at selecting blindly, but the truth is I am very lucky..and I'll take lucky over being good any day of the week! Thank you, again and Happiest of New Year's in 2026, Science Smile!!
