How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

On Tray Three
On tray three and things are going well. My plan is 4 months, 3 trays per month, first two stay in for a week each, and then the third tray of the month stays in for 2 weeks. This is my first 2 week long tray and I find it is thicker than the firs two, probably to force more movement and hold everything in place.
I received another shipment of my 'Month 2' trays and I am tempted to switch to those but I am using my willpower to finish the two week period of tray 3, month 1.
While reading other reviews I saw the difficulties people had with the molds - luckily, I was in the NYC area and was able to get the 3D scan from their office space so I did not have to deal with the molds, so my process moved along very quickly. I highly highly recommend going to one of their locations if at all possible to get the 3D scan. It gave an incredibly accurate replica and all of my aligners have fit incredibly well.

Week 1 with Aligners
I received my aligners almost a week ago. They sent me the first month's worth as well as Glo Whitening. I was under the impression that I would receive all aligners at once since I paid in full, but apparently not, which is fine with me as they may be hard to keep track of.
I definitely had some tightness the first few days which is a good sign, means they are working. Definitely needed to use the outie tool the first day to get them out since they were so tight but now on Day 6 they feel nice and comfortable. They do seem to get dirty easily so brushing after each meal is definitely important - even though it can get annoying.
So far - all good! I am excited to switch out my aligners for new ones tomorrow, interested to see how tight they will be

Aligners have shipped!
My case was accepted on the 9th and I just got the notification today that the aligners have shipped (5/23). I am excited and the process has been painless so far. I think it was hugely beneficial that I was able to go to a smile shop in NYC to have my 3D image taken so I did not have to try and do my impressions myself since that seems to be difficult. I had my 3D scan on 5/2 and now that my aligners have shipped it has been just about a 21 day process which seems pretty expedited to me. I will touch base once I receive the package. Hoping everything fits and is intact!
Provider Review
NYC Smile Shop
The 'smile shop' is in a WeWork office. I showed up and they took me right on time and I was done in 25 minutes. The 3D scan is non invasive and incredible efficient. You see the scan of your teeth forming right on the screen - it was quite impressive.
