A large chandelier lobby with complimentary coffee, tea, and water. A kids’ play area with Nintendo Wii, PlayStation, and big screen TV for siblings and younger patients. Cherry and CareCredit financing available. PPO insurance maximized at every visit.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners — fabricated from a precise digital scan of your teeth — to gradually shift teeth into their correct position. Each aligner moves teeth in small, controlled increments. You wear each set for one to two weeks, then advance to the next in the series.
Unlike braces, aligners are removable. You take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss — then put them back in. They need to be worn 20–22 hours per day to stay on schedule. The aligners are clear and fit snugly against your teeth — from normal conversational distance they’re essentially invisible.
Treatment typically takes 12–18 months for most cases, though simpler cases can finish faster. Our Allen orthodontic team gives you a personalized timeline at your free consultation based on your specific teeth and bite.
Your first appointment is completely free with no commitment required. Our Allen orthodontic team evaluates your teeth and bite, walks you through whether Invisalign is appropriate for your case, and gives you a realistic timeline and complete cost breakdown — including exactly what your insurance covers — before you make any decision. Same-day consultations are frequently available.
We use a digital intraoral scanner at our Allen office for all orthodontic records — no trays, no putty, no gagging. The scan captures a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes. From this model, Invisalign’s treatment software generates your full aligner sequence and gives us — and you — a virtual preview of your final result before treatment begins.
Your custom aligner series is fabricated and typically arrives within a few weeks. At your delivery appointment, we confirm the fit, walk you through wear and care instructions, and answer every question before you leave. Two TVs with Netflix in your treatment room throughout.
You visit our Allen office periodically — typically every six to eight weeks — so our orthodontic team can monitor your progress, make refinements if needed, and advance you through your aligner series. Most check-in appointments are brief. Netflix on throughout.
After your final aligner, retainers protect your result long-term. Teeth shift naturally without retainer wear — particularly in the first year after treatment. We include retainers with all Invisalign treatment at our Allen office and walk you through a clear wear schedule before you finish active treatment.
Invisalign Teen includes built-in compliance indicators — small blue dots on the aligner that fade with wear — so parents can see at a glance whether their teen is wearing them consistently. Replacement aligners are included for lost or damaged sets, which is a practical reality of teen treatment. For motivated teens who will wear aligners consistently, Invisalign Teen delivers the same clinical results as braces with significantly more discretion.
Our Allen orthodontic team gives an honest recommendation at the free consultation — including when Invisalign Teen is the better fit and when braces will deliver more reliable results for a specific case. Full details on our Allen braces page.
There is no age limit for Invisalign. Our Allen office treats adult patients at every life stage — from professionals in their 30s correcting teenage relapse to patients in their 50s and 60s pursuing a comprehensive smile transformation.
For adults, the combination of Invisalign’s discretion and the ability to remove aligners for professional situations, social events, and photos is often the deciding factor. Ceramic braces are also available for adults who want a fixed option with a discreet appearance — ask our Allen team about all your options at your free consultation.
After Invisalign treatment, whitening is a natural finishing step. Every new patient at our Allen office receives complimentary custom whitening trays at their first visit — so if you’re starting Invisalign as a new patient, the whitening upgrade is already included.
Our Allen orthodontic team gives you a direct clinical recommendation at your consultation. Here’s the honest breakdown:

Most PPO dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits apply a lifetime maximum that contributes toward both braces and Invisalign equally. Our Allen team verifies your specific benefits before your consultation so you know what your plan covers before making any decision.
We accept 18+ PPO plans at our Allen location. For patients without orthodontic insurance coverage, Cherry and CareCredit financing both offer quick approval and flexible monthly payment terms. FSA and HSA payment accepted. Our Healthy Smiles Discount Plan at $89/year provides discounted rates on orthodontic treatment. Visit our insurance page and our Allen insurance page for details on accepted PPO plans and how your orthodontic benefits apply.
Before starting Invisalign your mouth needs to be in good health — any active decay or gum disease is addressed first. One of the advantages of choosing our Allen office for Invisalign is having general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and orthodontics all available under the same roof. No referrals, no coordinating care across multiple practices. Everything is handled at our W Exchange Pkwy location by a team that knows your complete history.
After Invisalign, many patients combine treatment with cosmetic dentistry — whitening, veneers, or bonding — for a complete smile transformation. Our Allen cosmetic dentistry team coordinates the sequencing naturally as part of any comprehensive smile plan.
