Invisalign in Frisco TX
Frisco TX has no shortage of orthodontic offices advertising Invisalign. What it has very few of is board-certified orthodontists with the credentials to back it up. At Elate Orthodontics, your Invisalign treatment in Frisco is designed and supervised by Dr. Kevin Baharvand DMD MS, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a cover clinician in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, the field’s leading peer-reviewed journal.
Two locations in Frisco. One at FM 423 and Lebanon Road (West Frisco), one at University Drive and 380 (North Frisco). Same doctors at both. Free consultation, most insurance accepted, financing from $99/month.
Board-Certified Invisalign vs. General Dental Offices
In Texas, any licensed dentist can offer Invisalign. That means the office advertising Invisalign in the Frisco strip mall next to your grocery store may be a general dentist who took a weekend training course. There is no legal requirement that Invisalign treatment be performed by an orthodontist.
The distinction matters clinically. Orthodontists complete an additional two to three years of residency training beyond dental school focused exclusively on tooth movement, jaw mechanics, and bite alignment. An ABO Diplomate has passed a rigorous written and clinical examination on top of that. Dr. Baharvand holds that credential. He also lectures nationally training other orthodontists on aligner therapy, which means the techniques he uses at Elate are current, not five years behind the published literature.
What to ask any Invisalign provider in Frisco before you start:
Is the treating doctor a licensed orthodontist or a general dentist? Have they passed ABO board certification? Do they see you at every appointment, or does a tech handle most visits? Will they show you your full digital treatment simulation before you commit? At Elate, the answer to all of these is yes, and we will show you the simulation at the free consultation before you sign anything.
Invisalign or Angel Aligners: Honest Guidance
Elate offers both Invisalign and Angel Aligners. Most practices that offer both push whichever one they make more margin on. We do not. Dr. Baharvand will tell you which system is actually better for your case, and in many situations the answer is Angel Aligners because Elate is one of the largest Angel Aligner providers in Texas and Dr. Baharvand trains other orthodontists on the system nationally.
Both systems are priced the same as traditional braces at Elate. There is no upcharge for choosing aligners over braces. The choice between Invisalign and Angel Aligners is made based on your clinical needs, not your budget.
| Invisalign | Angel Aligners | Metal Braces | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Clear, nearly invisible | Clear, nearly invisible | Visible metal |
| Removable | Yes | Yes | No |
| Case complexity | Mild to moderate | Mild to complex | All cases |
| Price at Elate | Same as braces | Same as braces | Most affordable |
| Elate expertise | Certified provider | Top TX provider, Dr. B trains nationally | Full-service |
Two Invisalign Offices Across Frisco, Texas
Frisco, TX is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, stretching from the Highway 121 corridor in the south to FM 380 in the north. That geography matters when you are making appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. Elate operates two full-service orthodontic offices within Frisco City limits so that whether you live in Tribute, Hollyhock, Phillips Creek Ranch, or Windsong Ranch, there is an Elate office close to home. Same doctors, same records, same treatment standards at both.
If you live in Frisco ISD, Prosper ISD, or Little Elm ISD territory, you are within 10 minutes of one of these offices. Your records, aligner sequence, and treatment plan are fully shared across all Elate locations. Start wherever is convenient and switch freely. Many patients from neighborhoods like Tribute or Windsong Ranch rotate between the West Frisco and North Frisco offices depending on work schedules and school pickups.
Invisalign Treatment at Elate in Frisco: Step by Step
Free Consultation and Digital Scan
No impressions. We use intraoral digital scanning to capture your teeth in 3D. At the same visit you will see a digital simulation showing how your teeth will move through treatment. Nothing is sold to you. You leave with a clear picture of your options and what each would cost.
Custom Treatment Plan
Dr. Baharvand or Dr. Kang designs your treatment plan personally. Your aligners are manufactured to the precision of that plan, not handed off to an offshore treatment planning center to approve. The number of trays, the movement sequence, and any refinement plan are all determined before your first aligner arrives.
Active Treatment: Wearing Your Aligners
Each tray is worn 20 to 22 hours per day, typically for one to two weeks, before progressing to the next. You receive multiple trays at each appointment so you do not need to come in every time you change trays. Check-ins happen roughly every 6 to 8 weeks. Elate also has Virtual Care if something feels off between visits.
Refinements if Needed
Most Invisalign cases include at least one round of refinement trays to fine-tune the final result. This is standard, not a sign something went wrong. Elate includes refinements as part of comprehensive treatment without nickel-and-diming you for additional scans.
Retainers and Long-Term Retention
When your final tray is complete, you transition to retainers. Teeth move throughout life without retention, regardless of how good your Invisalign result was. Elate offers custom Essix clear retainers and the Retainer Assurance Program for 10 years of replacement coverage at a flat copay.
Invisalign in Frisco TX: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a board-certified orthodontist doing Invisalign in Frisco?
Yes. At Elate Orthodontics, Dr. Kevin Baharvand DMD MS is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a certified Invisalign provider. ABO Diplomate status requires passing both written and clinical board examinations and is held by fewer than a third of practicing orthodontists nationally.
How much does Invisalign cost in Frisco TX?
At Elate Orthodontics, Invisalign is priced the same as traditional metal braces. The exact cost depends on case complexity and is discussed at your free consultation. We are in-network with most major dental insurance plans, accept Medicaid, and offer financing from $99 per month. Use the finance calculator for an estimate.
Which Frisco Elate office should I go to?
Whichever is closer to where you live or work. West Frisco at FM 423 and Lebanon Road serves Tribute, Phillips Creek Ranch, and western Frisco neighborhoods. North Frisco at University Drive and 380 serves Hollyhock, Windsong Ranch, and everything north toward Prosper. Both offices share the same doctors, records, and treatment standards, so you can use them interchangeably at any point during treatment.
Is Invisalign right for me, or should I consider Angel Aligners?
Both are clear aligner systems and the choice depends on your specific tooth movement needs. In general, Angel Aligners can handle more complex cases and Dr. Baharvand’s depth of experience with that system is exceptional given that he trains other orthodontists on it nationally. Invisalign is the more widely recognized brand and works well for a broad range of cases. Your free consultation will include an honest recommendation on which is better for your situation specifically.
Can adults get Invisalign in Frisco?
Yes. Adults are among the most common Invisalign patients at Elate. Many are professionals who want to straighten their teeth without wearing metal braces to work, or adults who had orthodontic treatment as a teenager and have experienced some relapse over time. Invisalign works the same way for adults as it does for teens, with no upper age limit.
How long does Invisalign take for Frisco patients?
Most comprehensive Invisalign cases at Elate run 12 to 24 months depending on case complexity and how consistently you wear your aligners. Elate has a track record of finishing cases ahead of schedule, something Dr. Baharvand attributes to precise digital treatment planning and his team catching compliance issues early at check-in appointments.
Does Elate accept insurance for Invisalign in Frisco?
Yes. Elate is in-network with most major dental insurance plans at both Frisco locations. Many insurance plans that cover braces will also cover Invisalign for the same benefit amount. We will verify your coverage before your consultation so you know exactly what to expect. Medicaid is also accepted.
