First let me say that all my life I have been completely embarrassed and ashamed of my teeth, it took a lot of courage to even post this picture. My parents did not have the financial means to provide me with braces when I was a child. As an adult I now have my own financial means and was so excited to stumble across Smiledirectclub. I have not smiled showing teeth since I was six years old and am so thankful that this options exists for me. I purchased a discount for my assessment kit and total aligner treatment through groupon (new customers to groupon can sign up and get additional discount of $10 with code welcome10).

The process was simple. I ordered my impressions and evaluation kit online on 5/13/16. I then finished my photo assessment on 5/16/16 and received an email that same night that my initial assessment was accepted! I was completely shocked since you can see that my teeth have extreme crowding.

I am not positive about the date I received my impressions, however, I got an email letting me know my impressions were received on 5/31/16 and that I should hear back from them within 7-10 business days. I didn't hear back from then until after I sent an email (6/10/16), however, they replied back to me within 1 business day. My impressions had been accepted and I would be receiving my treatment plan within another 7-10 business days.

On 6/16/16 I received the generic email stating my impressions were accepted and that I would get my treatment plan within 7-10 business days. I decided that I would take 6/16/16 as the day to start the countdown.

I still have not received my treatment plan, however, I emailed them on 6/28/16 and again, received a response within one business day. My treatment plan is still in process and since my case is on the extreme crowding side, I completely understand why it would take extra time. The very nice woman who emailed me back did say that I should be getting my plan by early next week at the latest.

I am so thrilled to have the chance to finally REALLY smile for a photo. I have had absolutely no problems as of yet with customer service and have not felt like I have been waiting too long for each process.

I am eager to see my treatment plan and get the process started! If they can fix my teeth, they can fix yours! I will keep you all posted.

A lot of people are getting results with this. There are a bunch of YouTube videos online of testimonials. They work with orthodontists too. It is the same thing as Clear Correct aligners.

I know the end results are not perfect but to me they are better than what I'm working with and it is what I can afford. My sister is also an attorney and as long as I get the final results as I saw on my treatment plan I will be grateful. Thank you for your concern.

Hi, In the past 6 weeks, how have things been? I've heard good things about the aligners but horrible things about the customer service & receiving trays.
August 19, 2016
Hey, so for me the service was not bad. Everything ran very smooth for me up until the day I received the wrong set of aligners. So for me, getting started was easy, getting approved was smooth, the impressions only took one time, and every time I emailed or had a question I got an answer within one business day. The only time I had an issue was when I called to complain about getting the wrong aligners after being so excited. I think the issue with that was that every call is taken by a customer service rep, but not all reps are up to speed and trained on issues. Once I was transferred to a customer service specialist, I was all set. My new aligners still came within a week and it took around 23 business days for me to finally get my correct aligners (they say 21 business days). All in all the process and service has not been bad, a couple mistakes here and there but nothing that would want to make me cancel and ask for a refund. I will also say that since my teeth were so crowded it is easier for me to notice slight movements, and within the past few days my teeth have definitely slightly moved already! So I definitely think they work. This is just my personal experience and I can't speak for others. Hope this helps :)

Treatment Plan

Janstar15
After much anticipation I received my treatment plan! I was almost certain that I was going to have to get some IPR during my treatment, however, NO IPR! My plan consists of 40 aligners (20 top/20 bottom) worn over a period of 10 months. I think I will be going with the full payment now method. I will keep you all posted about my progress and when I receive my first set of aligners!

Follow-up call and payment

Janstar15
So, I received a call from the company yesterday and the representative was helpful and asked if I had any questions. I let him know my payment plan and the day I was planning on purchasing. I had decided to use the pay up front option, however, ended up not paying yet since I found that the site has mysteriously lost the option to use a coupon code overnight. This seemed a little sneaky to me only since I had already had success in inputting a coupon code for an extra discount the night before. I had a weird feeling so I took a screenshot of the option to enter the code just incase which I posted. I would hope they bring back the option, until then, I guess I will reconsider my payment option.
