SmileDirectClub (formerly SmileCareClub) is an at-home, tooth-straightening system that uses a series of clear trays. After you are approved through an assessment, a dental impression kit is sent to you with instructions to wear the trays from four to eight months to straighten and correct issues with your teeth. As a bonus, aligners double as whitening trays, and gel...
My ortho told me that before we could start work on straightening my crooked bottom front tooth that I would have to deal with my impacted canines on my top jaw. I still have baby teeth in place, which will need to be extracted, along with my 4 wisdom teeth. Rather than going the easy way and removing the baby & impacted canines and plopping in dental implants, my oral surgeon wants me to try...
Has anyone used Delta Dental for their treatment at Smile Direct Club? I have orthodontic benefits with Delta. I'm trying to get a pre-treatment authorization but Smile Direct Club won't give me their tax ID and license number until I purchase from them. I can't get anything approved through Delta without those two pieces of information. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really...
You certainly aren't the only one who has had braces. Below list any celebrities you know who have had braces...or better yet add a link to a picture of them with their braces!!
Looks like this is an old Forum but I'm going to post anyway. I am 50 years old and will be starting Clear Correct in about two days. I'm a little scared, I'll admit, of the pain. My teeth have a few problems. Cross bite and about three teeth that are crooked. Not really too bad. Nobody notices but me but I still want to finally get them fixed. Never had braces which I should have had when I...
When I was 13 I got braces and 4 teeth extracted, then at 16 my wisdom teeth extracted. I'm now 18 and am not pleased with the results at all. My face has narrowed, my profile looks terrible and there's an obvious difference as seen in the pictures provided. I used to have a wide, strong jaw/chin with a wide face, now my face looks long and narrow. I have a list of health problems including...
I was told that most insurance is accepted and having the company verify coverage right now- have to wait up to 48 hours for response. However they said we have to be reimbursed vs the company filing a claim like at most dentist/ortho/drs. How exactly does this work? Anyone have personal expereince?
I planned to have braces a few months ago. I am 24 this year. I went to a dentist which i think is qualified to handle my teeth because he/she has registered in a dentistry board in Malaysia. I went to them, and the lady (orthodontic) told me the whole cost of my treatment would take about 4-5k. And i ask again, is it inclusive any hidden cost? and she said yes, 4-5k with all treatment. So i...
I'm starting to wonder if the $900 "smile 5" plan shown on their website is just a bait and switch to get you in the door. I have the most minimal correction needed. I got the treatment plan of only THREE MONTHS, and i was quoted $1400, the cost of their "moderate crowding" plan. On their website they say "SMILE 5" is for minimal crowding and four month treatment plan. My case fits, and my...
I've been researching online for a while and all I have come across are very unhappy customers. Do you know anyone with 28, brace-straight teeth who is happy with their decision 3/5/10 yrs down the line?
I wanted Invisalign but my Dentist suggested CC and I said I was willing to try. I am not sure now I have been waiting since Oct. 7, 2013. I will posting to Ripoff.com very soon. I probably should have went there first instead of saying yes to CC on my dentist recommendation.
I don't get it, I've read lots of reviews on CC and there has been tons of great ones and some negative ones. Some posts even say they wore their CC the entire time and saw NO change? How can that be? You receive new trays every 3 weeks and they are formed to move your teeth, so how can tray 1 be the same as the last tray, If you saved all your trays and put the first one on and the last one...
An article was published by the Seattle Times that give some good basic advice on how to choose an orthodontist. Click here to read the article.
I am 15 years old and just finished 8th grade. My orthodontist said I will have these lingual (Harmony) braces for about 2 years. I hate them! I have a lisp which ruins everything, it hurts when I drink and eat, and I have cuts all over my tongue which really hurts. I have has them on for about 2 days and I know im just adjusting to them but are there any orthodontists out there who can help?...
I am a 50 year old who just started my CC treatment. I am looking for others who are around my age who have had CC or are having treatment right now. Thought it would be nice to correspond and share our experiences. Thank you!
My face used to be round and clubby but after a few months in braces my face isn't fat anymore and my waist got smaller. I really need to buy new clothes from these changes. I am very happy with the results so far, I love my teeth right now. ;D ;p
So I've noticed there are so many more posts with the Invisalign,is it because its been around way longer and clear correct is much newer? I really never new there was different options until I got my Clear correct. I find they are very similar but can be different. Some good and bad reviews in both, and im sure it has a lot to do with personal experience and the time you really...
Have any had to redo your impressions. So far Ive done the initial impressions and 2 redos with no luck. I thought they would be reject because my teeth always scrape the front. But they have been rejected because they werent seated correctly. Idk if I should even attempt to try to do the impressions again.
