Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

Tray 20 of 20!
Hello! Hello! Hello!
I've completed my aligner sets and submitted my dental photos for review to get refinements. Even though my teeth are far from perfect as I finished this set, I'm still elated that my teeth have some semblance of normalcy.
My teeth kind of sit on top of each other as it stands for now, which isn't unbearable, but it does make chewing difficult as my molars kind of "float" and have a space where they absolutely do not touch. If you look at my review history, I also had gastric sleeve surgery recently and being able to chew things down finely is super important in regards to that, so I did stress this to the SDC support team. The open space in the front is something I'm seeing if they can refine as well.
Ultimately, from where my teeth started, to where they are now, I'm thrilled - SDC customer support is hit or miss, but for the most part it's been a hit and the staff I've talked with have been friendly and genuinely helpful. I'll also admit that I feel like an old-head as I don't get all the fancy new things the newer members have like the mouth rests to take your assessment pictures with! It would have been nice to have had some updated things for my check in assessments so I wasn't pulling my face 5 different ways, but honestly that's minimal in the scheme of things.
I'm looking forward to the outcome of my refinements, I'll hear from SDC in about a weeks time to see what can be done further. Also a little aside from just the vanity points of straight teeth, brushing and flossing these bad boys has become so much easier since they sit nicely in my mouth. Something I hadn't given much thought to until now. :)

Tray 15!
Wow, it's been a while.
I'm a bit behind on upates, from my other real self reviews, I've been a busy lady undergoing a surgery.
Anyways! Here's my teeth on the last day of tray 15. I'm behind a tray due to SDC screwing up my card on file, even after I called twice to verify that they have the right card to take payment from and I was set behind a week.
When I asked about where my aligners were, they made up a B.S. excuse about how this was the plan for my treatment and an extra week is okay.
Cool, I like how nobody else informed me of this and it seems convenient to the payment on file being screwed up, but sure, an extra week works.
But, this is the kind of customer care we've grown to accept with SDC, right?
Oh well! I'm ready for tray 16, almost done with all this crazyness! I can feel the front teeth shifting over the lower teeth with each new tray, so far so good!
Also, thanks for everyone commenting and complimenting! :)

Tray 12
Slowly, but surely we're getting there. This next half of the trays are focusing on the uppers and boy can I feel it. Luckily it's really only a day of discomfort, then smooth sailing until the next tray.
I'm noticing the shift forward of my upper teeth in my bite, which is slightly annoying, but it works.
Oh! It may just be me, but the shifting of my uppers has affected the size of my top lip. It's been looking fuller lately... it's probably all in my head and I'm just noticing it from staring at my teeth all the time. :)
Overall it's more of the same. Can't wait till I'm posting about tray 20!
