Honesty for the price I paid, I am very happy with the results.... BUT JUST READ
-SPEAKING OF THE PRICE
when I first looked into/ bought the product mid 2015, the 5 tray plan was $700, 10 tray plan was $1200, and the 20 tray was $1600 or $1700 (???)
and when I just checked their website today, i realized they raised their prices quite a bit which is what inspired me to write this review.
I know they changed the prices because my 10 tray plan was only $960 after my 20% off coupon... of course i chose the 3 month payment plan and my interest was a little over $40 for that, so my actual total was a little over $1000. They have since done away with the payment plan option that I used, and you no longer have to pay interest which i guess is nice since they raised the treatments by like $200. I also see that they changed the time frame from 7 months (what my treatment planed was scheduled for), to 8 months. Im not sure why they added another months for the same amount of trays??
TIME SPAN
-First off, I got a coupon for the treatment/ starter kit off of Groupon for 20% off my entire treatment (AWESOME).... The starter kit arrived about a month after purchase, and my first aligners a month after that. All in all, from the first email sessions to see if i would be a good applicant, to the time i received my first trays was a total of about 4 months. (they took about a week to respond to an email at that time... not enough workers??)
I ended up changing out my 1st and 2nd tray about a week early (I know i wasn't suppose to).
I have since changed them out every 3 weeks like I'm suppose to, and am currently on tray 8 of 10. my top teeth are no longer moving according to the dental plan they sent me (which i actually emailed them about today because my teeth still aren't perfectly straight like they should be at this point).
I have never once done any type of video conference with one of their dentists like they said would happen. and they SOMETIMES send me an email reminding me to change my trays. probably the last 3 they have.
ALL IN ALL
for what I paid (a little over $1000), the lack of communication and consistency was still worth it. It was within my price range, and it fixed the problems i would have had to pay over $6000 for from invisalign. Would i pay would I pay $1400 instead of the $960 i got it for? Yeah, but i would definitely expect more from them in terms of professionalism. It is hard to get a business like that up and running smoothly, so i'm not mad. I'm just glad i didn't have to pay as much as people have to now. definitely check Groupon first.

Thanks so much for your review! I will check groupon because I've been looking at Invisalign. But only my top front two teeth are crooked. I had braces before just didn't wear my retainer.

Hi. I just finished may 10-stage treatment with SmileCareClub and loved the results and the service. I didn't get the deal you did but am blown away by what I saved off the price my orthodontist quoted. I only which I had started sooner. What was I waiting for???
