Had scans twice because bottom aligners wouldn’t fit.

Bogus Orthodontist

Had scans twice because bottom aligners wouldn’t fit. I consulted 3 independent Orthodontists that my teeth couldn’t be straightened without pulling a couple of teeth. Their Orthodontist emailed me to say I was a candidate for the aligners. I was shown a 3D scan on how they would look after treatment. My Orthodontist laughed and said not possible and digital photography can be manipulated to show whatever it wants. Feel duped. Takes forever for someone to call me back after cancellation. Need to return aligners. Did not work for me. Was told aligners only work for very minor corrections.

Why would you try to get remotely done aligners with this much of a correction needed? Clear aligners with no orthodontist like SDC is obviously meant for smaller easier fixes like slight crowding... not this! Completely on you for not getting real braces or a plan made by a doctor

This does prove that the company is far too willing to take on more than is possible to fix. A bit concerning for someone like me who is 3 weeks in. Though my issue is far more straightforward so I'm still hopefull it will end well for me.
