The members of the Leander community lead busy lives, and sometimes you want a straighter smile without the time commitment of traditional braces. At Pendleton Orthodontics, we offer Smile Express, a doctor-directed treatment for adults to get the smile you’ve always wanted using Invisalign® clear aligners, but with fewer office visits.
Think of it as the best of both worlds. You get the convenience of speedy care, but with the safety and reliable oversight of Dr. Ryan Pendleton. Many Smile Express journeys are completed in as little as 6 months1, focusing on mild adjustments that make a big difference in your confidence.
How Smile Express Works
We’ve made the process straightforward so you can focus on your life while we focus on your smile.
- Your Free Consultation
Your journey starts at our Leander office. Dr. Pendleton will personally evaluate your smile to make sure Smile Express treatment is the right fit for your needs. - A High-Tech Scan
We use the iTero™ scanner to take a 3D digital scan of your smile and bite. No messy putty is needed. This scan helps Dr. Pendleton plan your treatment with precision to ensure your Invisalign aligners fit correctly. - Your Aligner Kit Arrives
Once your custom Invisalign aligners are ready, they are delivered as a complete kit. You’ll have everything you need to start your transformation comfortably. - Guided Progress
We’ll monitor your progress using the Smile Doctors Anywhere app to keep your transformation on track. This means you get professional clinical care without needing to stop by the office every few weeks.
Why Our Patients Love Smile Express
- Orthodontist Oversight: Smile Express treatment is fully directed by Dr. Pendleton. Your health is our priority, which is why we include digital X-rays and diagnostic records to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy before they start moving.
- Proven Comfort: We use the Invisalign system, which is made from the industry’s most advanced clear material for a smooth, nearly invisible fit.
- Fewer Appointments: This approach respects your busy calendar. You’ll have all the support you need through the Smile Doctors Anywhere app, reducing the number of appointments required.
Pendleton Orthodontics Reviews
Everyone is so friendly, even my 11 year old comments on how nice everyone is. Dr Pendleton has been great at explaining where we are at and how we'll proceed.
Our experience was quick, painless and the staff were very friendly.
I was super nervous to start my braces journey but I am SO thankful for this place! Everything has been so comfortable and easy. Maisey and Carrie are AMAZING! Can’t recommend Pendleton Orthodontics enough.
Such a lovely and comforting experience at Pendleton! From the front of the office back, everyone is amazing!
The entire Pendleton staff has been fantastic and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We highly recommend Pendleton for any of your orthodontic needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Smile Express and full treatment?
Smile Express treatment is designed for adults who need mild corrections. Full orthodontic treatment is better for more complex structural issues that require more frequent office visits to ensure everything is moving correctly.
Who is a good candidate for Smile Express?
Most adults looking to refresh their smile or fix minor crowding are great candidates. During your free consultation, Dr. Pendleton will look at the complexity of your bite to make sure this specialized treatment will give you the results you’re looking for.
How many appointments will I need?
To make sure we provide the highest standard of care, we typically see you for at least 2 in-person visits. The first is for your initial records and iTero™ scan, and the final visit is to celebrate your results, get fitted for a retainer, and ensure your new smile meets our professional standards.
