    What a great 1st experience with Smile Direct Club! It stared being warmly greeted at the door. All my questions/concerns were addressed and the process was explained clearly. I felt very very comfortable and was very impressed with the smooth process. Can't wait to get started on this new journey to straighter teeth.

    I chose the Lancaster location to have my appointment at and I am so glad I made that decision. Although the office was running behind with appointments, due to being unintentionally understaffed, the employees present made sure to communicate every step of the way. I had the pleasure of having my scan appointment with Karen, who was very pleasant and personable. Karen explained everything perfectly and allowed me to be extremely comfortable to ask questions. Couldn’t have had a better visit!

    The first retainer I put on didn't last any time. It was three or four days, and it was so loose at the back of the teeth that I could actually take my tongue and flip it off. The rep took photos and they sent me another one. I called another time because I cracked one, and they just told me what to do. So, the customer service has been great. I wear the retainers for 24 hours, and next week, I start wearing them every day for at least 10 hours at night.

    I referred a friend and she is having wisdom tooth removed. SmileDirectClub sent her the kit and she said, "I forget, I'm having a wisdom tooth removed, but I don't want to do a mold." So, she called them and the rep told her, "Okay. That's fine. Whenever you're ready for your mold, just send it in." So, she's pleased. Whenever she gets her tooth out, get healed up, she will send in the mold. And she seems to really want to do it. She said her teeth are gapping. She saw how mine turned out, so she wants to try it, because it's so much more economical than getting traditional braces.

    Morgan was nice and answered all my questions. I am concerned about how they clean the 3D scan equipment. I was told they wipe down everything but the camera glass that goes in your mouth. That’s concerning because that part touches the inside of your mouth and can spread germs and bacteria.

    The 3D smile scan was top of the line, really. My smile guide was very informative. It will only take 4-6 months to improve my smile! Plus, if my teeth get misaligned in the future, they fix it free of charge! What a perk. Everything was very clean and my smile guide was very organized. My only worry was the monthly payment. My smile guide helped me sign up for care credit and I was approved instantly. Smile Direct is very affordable now. I'm so excited for my first aligner box to come in the mail!

    Monica was awesome at The Smile direct office- very polite, professional, knowledgeable and helpful! It was the customer service number that I called- took over an hour to answer- I had my card ready to pay in full- when answered, a very heavily accent man told me I had been rejected- Smile Direct would not proceed, they could not help me. I did appreciate the honesty to save me from wasting the money (will now go to a real orthodontist). But 2 hours later received an email from an orthodontist from Smile Direct in Austin ready to start my treatments!!!! Very inconsistent! - Whom do I believe??? Not throwing away $2,000 on “maybe”!!!!

    I do not think I will continue with purchasing my aligners with SmileDirectClub. That is how bad the first impression and customer experience has been with this company. I am certainly not smiling. Just taking part in the first few steps of this customer journey, I have had extreme difficulty conveying basic information, getting proper instructions, and using the functionality of the technology platforms that support this program. It's incredibly disappointing to see a company that has been conveyed as an easy-to-use alternative be realized by me as anything but easy.

    The experience was going okay at first. I order my kit and it was shipped to my address. I then used the kit, mailed it back, and then continued to complete my initial steps. This is where SmileDirectClub lost me. I thought such an established company would have a seamless, integrated, and complete digital experience during one of their basic processes that customers use. This is not the case in my experience. While trying to simply upload photos of my teeth to the website, I was not able to. I tried continuously, used different browsers, and tried on both a mobile and desktop platform. No customer willing to pay thousands of dollars should have to go through that just to upload one photo. SmileDirectClub is publicly-traded company; any reasonable person should assume that its digital experience needs to align with such a title.

    I then had to figure out SmileDirectClub's customer service contact information and email them that I was having this issue. The photo upload feature was broken. Because of this, I was not able to even complete my own registration for the first part of my experience with SmileDirectClub. Right away, this was a big red flag that this company was not ready to offer such a service and product to a large scale market like they're attempting to do.

    Through email, I had to attach my photos and send them to the support team. The support team then replied and asked me to respond to 16 different questions about my history. I was then asked to submit my concerns and was given a dental chart. This instruction was confusing and took support emailing my four different times to convey what exactly they wanted for these "concerns." This concern area should have been made more clear, or more aligned with the actual website experience.

    I'm really disappointed that this process had to be done over email and dragged out the experience additional weeks. It's very sad to try to register for this service back-and-forth with customer support rather than through an actual digital platform. I was not able to do any of this through the app even though I constantly see pushes to "get the best results with our app." It's tragic to constantly see this message on the website, but in reality cannot even use it to upload photos, fill out questionnaires, or even see any relevant information about my account.

    After receiving the email about giving a review for this experience, I promptly clicked on it to give a constructive review of my experience. I was asked to put in my order number. I thought this would be an easy-to-find number since it was being asked here. Instead, it was extremely difficult for me to even find an order number. It's not on the several support emails I had about the order. It's not on my own dashboard. It not under "my account" on the website. It's not on the shipping confirmation email. It's not on the link to track my kit. It's not on the photo confirmation email. It's not on the treatment plan. It's not even on the "order your aligners" page. Instead, I had to Google how to found it, where Reddit told me that I need to contact customer support for it.

    This was the final straw for this dysfunctional experience. Here I am trying to give a constructive review of the struggles I experienced, and I cannot even get the order number for my own kit. What a disgusting display of a "customer experience" this has been. I was then interested to see if others had this issue. I was met with numerous stories from other users about horrible customer service, constant growing pains, and news stories concerning permanent dental damage from the product. This overall has dissuaded my opinion and experience for this service, and is why I am reconsidering continuing this program. I hope that SmileDirectClub can work to address these issues, and hopefully ensure that other customers don't get the same terrible experience I did.

    I do not know that I have an order number as it was not given to me. First, to be a little picky perhaps, the sign on the door said “we are closed” when clearly they were open. Apparently they are short-staffed due to Covid, but only to find this out after I waited about 30 minutes beyond my appointment time. The representatives were very nice, however and that is much appreciated. As many emails and texts I received prior to my appointment, I was excited.. but did not appreciate having to wait so long after my appointment time as I took off from work for an allowed amount of time for this particular appointment and drove almost 40 miles one way to this location for the scan that was supposed to be quick and simple. Overall the experience was pretty good, but then to find out cost and payment plans then be told not sure if they can fully help my bite, which is my foremost concern. Understandable if their services are limited but upfront information would be better.

    I accidentally ordered pay in full, for my aligners. The impression kit was easy, everything went smooth. I canceled the order not even 20 minutes after the mistaken payment method. And told them the problem. Apparently there was nothing that could be done except cancel the order and wait 2 TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS. So now my bank account is acquiring late fees until they give me my money back. So all in all I am receiving most likely $100 to $200 in fees if not more, because they simply couldn't just cancel the transaction. So I will definitely now not purchase aligners because of this huge problem. Huge waste of my money and time for nothing.

    I liked not having to go into the dentist. And it worked. I read some articles where people said their retainers didn't fit. Because I had braces before, and if you don't wear your retainers, they get tight, so people don't push them in or pull, whatever they need to get the retainer on for it to start working so it will slide on. That might be something SmileDirect should tell people, because I didn't think mine would work either. But you just have to work them until they pop on. Usually, after that first day, they pop in and out. They are a little difficult, but they go in and out for those few hours.

    I went two hours a day without wearing my retainer, so I didn't do it before. Today is the longest I've had them off all day. But normally, I still only have them off four or five hours a day just because I know they have to have time to fix your teeth. After you move them like that, you have to have time to see. Since I'm 67, I know it will take longer, so I wear my retainers long. I would recommend SmileDirectClub for the price, and it was easy to do.

    I understand the complexities of an open bite and knew there was a possibility that my open bite could not be fixed. However, the ending smile results barely changed the appearance of my teeth now which was disappointing. My dentist will likely have to use invisalign and monitor the bite with extra device attachments. Worth a try to do it through SDC for a much better rate.

    I was not expecting, & was VERY surprised/shocked, at the EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURE sales tactics. I went in expecting to get all my questions answered and leave with the needed information to come home and share with my husband (we had planned to decide which payment route, etc, in which to go, & then to sign up & make the down-payment, possibly that same night, but no later than the next afternoon), all of which I made very clear to both of the ladies (who signed me in & the one who did my actual scan, at the same time, as both were in the room with me while checking in) & I was assured that a lot of people do that (especially when their spouses are unable to make the appointment with the ["potential"] patient or, as in my case, their spouse is also unreachable during the work day, DUE to work).

    Therefore I was quite unprepared (& again VERY shocked & surprised!) by the extremely HIGH pressure that was put on me at the end of my appointment to make a decision RIGHT NOW! And I was basically told that if I didn't make a decision & sign up right then & there, that the special offers (such as the $49/mo payment special -which I also found out really is NOT even an actual "special" at all! [It is simply 60 months worth of payments instead of $89/mo for 24 months!] Definitely not something even written in the fine print! [If I'm incorrect in that statement, please SHOW me where I missed that...??] So that was ALSO quite disappointing to say the least-).

    AND I seem to also have missed the part about the gift card, whitening kit & entry into the drawing for $1950 worth of free aligners, was ONLY meant for those people who paid the downpayment AT THE APPOINTMENT, as I was made to feel as if not only did I "put out" the girl who did my appt by not signing up right then (because, as she told me SEVERAL TIMES, she did NOT receive "credit nor any commission for 'potential patients' ONLY for those that signed up & made their downpayment AT their appointment. So {she} wouldn't be 'making anything off of me'.")

    I did (finally, after asking about it several times, & then finally straight out asking FOR it) receive the 'whitening kit', but nothing was mentioned about being entered into the drawing nor about the gift card, of which I've also not received nor received any information or communication regarding. (But again, if I missed the fine print regarding those 2 things only applying to those who made a down-payment of $250 AT the 3D appointment & started then, please let me know & show me...??)

    All that is to say, I (& my husband, after having heard some of the last parts about the commission & credit & such, for HIMSELF, as he was actually on the phone when she again mentioned all of that!) are VERY put-off by that lady, that I'm no longer sure that I even want to get my aligners with SmileDirect (when I was REALLY looking forward to it, & had planned to get started today, Wed January 5 2022 -the day after my appt Tues Jan 4 2022- But after that experience with her, I'm just not sure, mostly because there's no way for me to know if she even gave me any/all correct answers to my specific questions or if she was just doing all she could to "make a sale"...because that is all she made ME feel like I was.).

Brand and experience is very consistent across all platforms. I’m not a customer yet, but I have confidence in them should I choose to sign up. Learned today of their lifetime guarantee - meaning, free align ERS should my teeth move again - which I Love and know is a great value…this being my 3rd round of braces :-) That’s a great feature in my book and will probably seal the deal.

    Two years ago my dentist suggested that I did the brace because I complained that I just couldn’t clean my teeth completely even using electronic toothbrush. After two years pandemics, this time when I come back to the state to visit my daughter from France which I currently live now, my dentist again urged me to take action. He specifically recommended Invisalign this time, but the price he quoted to me just too high. Then I searched on the web and found the SmileDirectClub. I booked the appointment and was so glad I did. The experience I had was wonderful. It is super easy with the 3D scanner to get the image of the whole set of teeth. The two assistants who worked with me are also super friendly and professional.

    All in all, I had a wonderful experience in this clinic. And the most surprising thing is that the price is so affordable and reasonable. I signed the papers with no hesitation. All the aligners will be shipped to me in two to three weeks just in time for my next travel abroad. And best of all, I don’t have to visit the clinic during these treatment period says 4-6 months when I will be in France. Even when I do have problem, I can go to their Paris store. Very helpful and very impressed!

    I had a couple of other friends that used Invisalign. I started looking into it and had a little bit of sticker shock because I didn't have a very severe issue. I just didn't feel good about spending that much money on it. I looked around at some more affordable options and heard some good things from people about SmileDirect. I did some research and then I gave it a try. I did the nighttime plan where I could wear it when I'm asleep and it works really well. It resolved the issues that I had and it really straightened my teeth. I've been wearing my retainers and everything seems to be fine. The instructions are understandable and it's easy to do.

    I wanted to close the small gap in my two front teeth. SmileDirect was the easiest thing to get and I've had my retainer from them since October. This process would be great for somebody that had teeth that were a little bit worse than just a gap because it's one price for everybody. I could have gone a cheaper route. Also, the retainers are a little flimsy and could probably be made out of better and thicker material. If I take my retainer out for 30 minutes to eat, I can already feel my gap shifting. Overall, Smiledirect has been good and I would recommend them to other people. It's better compared to Invisalign where you don't know what price you're gonna get.

    I've been super excited about my aligner experience, but am frustrated now. I was told during my consult appointment that I could sign up for nighttime aligners. I did. I received many, many emails and texts confirming and pumping me up about my order, and not one indicated that I would not get nighttime aligners. They indicated that the whole process would take 4 months because not much movement is needed.

    I received my box, and noticed that at least the first two aligners directed me to wear them 22 hours per day. I got in touch with customer service to inquire about whether this is how the process starts for all aligners, or if I received all-day aligners rather than the nighttime aligners I signed up for. I was told that I was not approved for nighttime aligners. This is the first time I heard this information. I explained the above and was told that the doctor would be contacted and asked why I did not qualify for nighttime aligners (I have very little movement needed). I explained that if I had been told during my consult or any time before receiving my aligner box that I would have to wear them all day, I would not have purchased, so I felt very fooled. The good news is that I received an email explaining that the doctor has approved me for nighttime aligners and a whole new set is being sent to me.

    I don't understand why I wasn't approved for them to begin with, or told that this was the case. I hate that all new aligners need to be made...such a waste of money!!! I am glad that I do qualify for nighttime aligners, but don't understand why I didn't get those to begin with. Until this week, I had been singing SmileDirect's praises to everyone and actually got my sister to sign up as well (she paid in full upfront)....she was also told during the consult that she would be able to get nighttime aligners. I know for a fact that she has more movement needed than I do, that she was told numerous times that nighttime-only aligners were an option, and that she would NOT have purchased if she would have to wear the aligners all day. Her box has been shipped and she is awaiting now. I'm hoping the same thing didn't happen to her!

    I had gone to a local orthodontist, gotten the consultation and it was gonna be $4,000 or $5,000. I looked into Invisalign and it was around the same price. SmileDirectClub being 1,895 was the biggest thing. I opted to go into one of their shops instead of doing everything at home. Once I got that done, everything was smooth.

    The in-person office scan was great but it took months to get my scan results, after emailing customer service to follow up multiple times. I went in for my scan on 10/30 and did not receive my scan results until 12/24 - almost 2 months later. I followed up multiple times and would receive generic responses saying they were looking into my case, but customer service would just go silent again. This has ultimately deterred me from trusting SDC to help with my smile journey. Overall, the process ended up being more frustrating than easy as they advertise.

    Smile Direct contacted me in response to this review. I was ultimately refunded the better part of my money. Appreciate them making things right, in the end.

    Original Review: Dec. 28, 2021

    Stay away. Scam. 0 stars. Said they pre-approved with my insurance for 50% reimbursement. Insurance said they were never contacted. There’s an age limit for orthodontia, and I was well passed it. No way someone could have contacted them. Very inconsistent quality in aligners. Some were very thin, not strong enough to apply appropriate force. Some received broken. After two programs (they call it re-touch if the first go around doesn’t work), alignment issue was still not resolved. They also don’t make it widely known on their website, until after you’ve signed up, that you will be expected to wear retainers the rest of your life, and then hammer you to order. Customer service was terrible, outside of the local shop. Wish I could get my money back. Waste of time, and money. Their whitening product is about the only good thing. Their electric toothbrush was rubbish too.

    I tried Smile Direct club 2 years ago and was very happy with the results. About 90 days ago I reached out to buy 3 extra retainers. They said they did not have my impressions anymore, and that I had to do them again. So I did. The rep said since it was probably some minor adjustments, it could be included. That was nice to hear! It did take about a month to and a few follow up calls to get some results. Yesterday, I get a link to a new plan with some minor adjustments and a request for $1,900. Not very impressed. I will go elsewhere to have retainers fitted for me.

    Updated review: Jan. 4, 2022

    The aligners that I purchased did not fit and actually caused some temporary gum swelling and irritation. I contacted the company requesting a refund and cancellation. It did take a few days to get any assistance (the week prior to Christmas holidays) and I was very concerned as I'd read so many negative reviews others had had with refunds. That being said, I became a bit irritable and worried when sending my requests. Anna and Elizabeth, however, both responded without any type of negative attitude towards my emails, staying both cordial and professional and they also did what needed to be done for me to receive a refund after verifying receipt of the aligners back in their warehouse. I'm very relieved and hope others have positive results, too, if they need to cancel their purchase within the thirty day guarantee period.

    Original Review: Dec. 25, 2021

    SmileDirect has not followed through on their guarantee to cancel the aligner and refund the money I've already given them. They had assured me a call back or email within three-five business days last week. The box did not have all of the necessary equipment, did not send them when notified of their error two weeks ago. Also, the aligners did not fit-they did not reach all the way to the back of my teeth, dug into my gums, causing irritated and swollen gums.

    I met with Amy in the Lancaster office and I had a lot of questions. She seemed to answer them all completely but was noticeably irritated with my discomfort with giving my credit card before knowing what I was getting exactly and how my smile would look. I also had no idea that I wouldn't be able to discuss the image or the video with an orthodontist. I wanted to be able to understand the correction and how much or how little could be corrected which Amy could not answer. I gave my credit card in the office but after talking with my husband and scheduling another appointment with a local orthodontist I asked to remove my credit card until I could see the correction or know how much or how little could be corrected. She was irritated and every time I called after she removed my card she did not answer her phone or the phone of the office. I have been trying to call for 2 days and have not gotten one person to answer the phone.

    The day of my scan before I removed my card I spoke to her 3 times and she answered every single time. Now that she didn't get my money or the commission I feel like I was dropped and treated poorly. All I wanted was to ask someone if it was possible to see a front view of the bottom teeth not the view from above. Since I have an overbite that can only be minimally corrected I cannot see what the front of my bottom teeth would look like. I actually want to move forward but I don't want to have to call a call center when I spent over an hour with a rude associate who blew me off once I removed my credit card. I really would like to speak to the manager.

Multiple times they screwed up and “lost” my order causing a longer wait and ship time. This impacting my treatment and teeth. I would recommend SmileDirect but not so much anymore, as the customer service is never consistent. The time to make the retainers and ship them is inconvenient and excessive.

    I’ve always lacked confidence in my smile and when I heard about Smile Direct Club I had to check it out. Consultations with orthodontists recommended to put me in braces for 2-3 years and Invisalign was too expensive. When I found out that in less than a year and a third of the cost later that my teeth would be straight I jumped at the opportunity. I have not been disappointed. My best friend of 20 years was amazed at the results and bragged for me. Thank you again and I will never have to be self conscious about my smile and in fact can smile bigger than ever.

    I was expecting a long process that would take thirty plus minute, but instead it was less than 10 minutes. Once I saw the machine that takes the pictures, I thought it would hurt my mouth or take a long time to get the right pictures. The lady that helped me was very nice and very helpful. Overall it was a cool and unique experience.

    Today I had my first visit at Smile Direct and it was an absolute pleasure. Melissa was the first to greet us and was super friendly and accommodating. Max then explained everything we needed to know about our treatment. He was very kind and helpful. He was able to clearly answer all of our questions and concerns while making us feel very comfortable. He played a large part in making our experience a positive one! Would definitely recommend to others!

    During my appointment I was under the impression that I was there to see Before & After results of what my smile would look like and if I decided to go through with the process however I was not shown an after picture and I Also feel like I was pushed into Making a purchase right on the spot. The staff was very informative and answered all my questions however I had to state several times I was not interested In making an immediate purchase. After Not being clear the 1st time around A second worker came in to try to persuade me again. Great For sales but With the pressure of the employees I found it very frustrating make making a long term decision In just an hour.

    I had a wonderful experience at Smile Direct Club in Towson from start to finish. The appointments were running a little behind, but the staff were still committed to providing an exceptional check in experience with regular updates about wait times and overall pleasant demeanors throughout the process. My scan appointment was conducted by Jessica who couldn't have been more kind, fun, thorough and knowledgeable. She put me completely at ease throughout the entire appointment; it was a joy working with such a bright professional! I would absolutely recommend Smile Direct Club Towson and staff member Jessica with no hesitation.

    Listen, if you can go with Invisalign or any other plans please do, I kept getting charged over and over again for the same month, and when I called they said they would help and did absolutely nothing. I ended up having to cancel my plan. I only wanted to go with them because they were cheaper but to be honest they do not appreciate their customers or care enough to follow back regarding customer complains and concerns. Just had a terrible experience overall.

    Not sure if this whole experience is worth being constantly bombarded with emails. However, the impression it arrived quickly with directions that were easy to follow. The discount on the impression kit being a digital gift is a disappointment. Just mail out the discount or don’t offer it at all. Don’t make me open another email, redeem it through your website, type in my info all over again, just to get more emails thanking me for redeeming the gift and one more to actually give me the code.

    One reason I selected Smile Direct was because you offer the “overnight” option of wearing the aligners but now I’m being told that option is NOT available to me. Very disappointed!!! During the whole process I was informed wearing the aligner just "overnight" was an option and my account was marked with that option. Then just before payment, I am told the "overnight" option is not available to me.

    SmileDirectClub's customer service is excellent. Unfortunately, I had a problem. The first aligners fit great up until week four, then I couldn't get the bottoms in. SmileDirectClub sent me new ones in a week, which was great. The second time it happened, I couldn't get the tops or the bottoms in after a couple of weeks, and it took three weeks to get new ones. SmileDirect told me just to wear the ones that I had in. They were so loose, they were falling out. But it took a long time to get those. So, I'm still wearing them. The bottom teeth are much better. The top ones still have a gap. I had a sore in my mouth. I called and SmileDirect told me not to wear them for a week. So, that put me back a week.

    I thought it would be so easy, but it wasn't, as far every time I eat, I got to take them out. When I first put them in, the first couple of times I tried to take them out, it was hard. That was great because that means they're working. But that's a pain. If I'm going out with friends for the day, I have to graze all day so I don't put them in. Or I bring them with me, but sometimes I'm in the car putting them on, coming home. Because I got to find someplace to brush my teeth and I don't like brushing my teeth in a public bathroom. So, I wish SmileDirect would come up with some kind of a rinse that I could rinse my mouth out and put them back in. Other than that, their program where they can look in people's mouths from their office is cool. It's very helpful and it makes me feel like they are trying to get me done.

    I ordered my impression kit on Black Friday. I was offered a $10 kit with a refund of the $10 on a visa. I was also offered a whitening kit and an electric toothbrush. Well, I received the kit which didn’t contain the supplies it was supposed to have. It took me several tries to finally have someone tell me to just use what I had. I did finally receive the $10 Visa, but nothing else. Where is my whitening kit and toothbrush?

    Very clean and pleasant experience, the gal I worked with was nice & very easy going. Only complaint: clarification needs to be made about your $25 gift card. I was told that if I consented to being recorded, I’d get a $25 gift card. I don’t feel like it is the customer's job to assume that it is a in store only gift card, and along with that; you need to spend $50 or more to even use it. I would not have concerned if I was provided with the full info. Totally misrepresented and makes me question the rest of what I was told.

    When I sent in my first pictures, they sent me an email saying it was the same impression kit that they were sending me. I did the impression kit and sent it in, and it was multiple weeks later before I got them. When I got them, they were much taller and not as comfortable as the first set. I've had to really work on them. I'm in my last set and I have five days left. I’m waiting on my retainer but have not heard anything.

    Everything was fine until I was on my second to last set and I noticed my teeth need to be moved some more. I noticed it. Not once did you offer to check in with me. Ridiculous that the customer has to take it upon themselves to act like a dentist and reach out to you to make sure every is ok. I needed a touch up. I went to your SmileDirect store in Beverly Hills, and then get notified almost a month later that the pictures your representative took were not good. And now I'm on my last set trying to keep them salvaged before my new set gets in which is about another 3 to 4 weeks away.

    Basically, my last set of aligners I need to last almost a full 90 days passed their usage because your service is so terrible. So now apparently it's going to be 4 weeks before I get my touch ups and I'm sure my teeth are going to shift back some and these new aligners are most likely going to be useless. I honestly deserve my money back. This company is a joke. And if I don't get my money back, believe me I will not stop until everyone I know or come in contact with knows not to use Smile Direct. Terrible service!!!

    The greased thing was how fast I received the impression kit. I read emails about a provider reaching out in 3 days and 5 days later, still nothing. I would like to review the plan with a dental professional before purchasing. Also when I signed up, it mentioned I would receive a whitening kit and toothbrush free and yet to receive. When I reached out and asked why, they just mentioned that I have to buy the aligned first. That was not previously stated. Not great experience, not confident in your services.
