5 month update
$1,400
So far I have been very pleased with smile direct. I only had one issue with a double payment but it was resolved fairly quickly.
I'm starting to see a noticeable change to my lower teeth, They have shifted and look slightly straighter then when I first started. The first few months I didnt notice much movement. But hang in there it will happen.
Some tips that have made things easier along the way:
Equate denture tablets (white colored ones) read the back of box to see what color the foam is. It disinfects and helps keep them fresh.
A soft tooth brush. I know smile direct club doesn't recommend using it but it's the best way to remove the film that tends to form the 2nd week of starting a new tray.
When starting a new tray. Put them in at night right before bed. this way by the time you wake up your already accustomed to the new trays.
Don't cheat. Leave the trays in for the full 22 hours. Yes, it can be annoying and frustrating especially in the beginning but after few months you'll get used to it. Think about the end result.
My last tray is at the end of September, by October I should have my bottom teeth Completely straight.

Aligners are in.
Today I received my aligners. 2 sets. I'm assuming they will send another set in 6 weeks (each set is worn for 3 weeks) they are really thin. The material is not as soft as I was told they would be. So I'm sure I'll have to get use to this and might experience some irritation. I also received a case to put them in, a file, chewies that help with the bite and a tool to pop the aligners out.

Thanks for the update! Could you explain a bit more about the purpose of the chewies and how they're used? What problem related to the bite do they help with? Never heard of them before.

Your welcome! The purpose of the chewies is to make the aligners sit better on teeth, they also ease the pain a little...just be careful with them they tend to get really slippery I usually hold on to one end.

Its been 19 days since your last update. How are things going? I have sent pictures in several times, and on Monday they sent an email that my pictures were approved and that my impression kit would be mailed out in 48 hours. I emailed them today to see why my kit hadn't been mailed out, and they told me they need more pictures. I am getting a little disappointed with their customer service.

Hello I am about 3 days from finishing my first tray. So far so good. As far the customer service I've heard mixed reviews. I personally haven't had any issues with them so far, I would call back and express your concern and if you do not like how the call was handled I would call back and speak to someone else. I know they are a new company so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it but they certainly need to keep up with their customer service. Hang in there. It's so worth it.

Starter trays
My starter aligners are pretty uncomfortable but they fit perfect. Has kept me from grinding at night so that's a plus.
