    I’m here to write a review that others should seriously consider when getting this product. I was a professional singer and these aligners assisted in ruining my career. They shifted my jaw in a way that made it impossible to sing the way I was trained beforehand. Because of my jaw not opening correctly, I ended up with vocal nodes from overexertion due to my jaw not opening correctly, diagnosed by my ENT. They also affected my sinuses because of the way my jaw shifted, which ultimately left me with cracking sounds in my ears when I was congested, and sometimes some pain.

    I agree that these aligners were helpful in straightening my teeth for the most part. My teeth weren’t too bad to begin with. However, I feel that they definitely could’ve been straightened a little more after completing my 5 months. I just want people out there to know that it’s not just about straightening teeth. The way the aligners are set in your mouth will likely force your jaw to change depending on what the “professionals” create personally for you. I never had overbite or underbite issues which is why this baffles me. I still suffer with vocal issues to this day and jaw crackling in my ears and sinuses. My jaw is basically “trained” to stay the way the aligners left it and I’m really saddened by this experience. I truly would’ve gone to a real Ortho and spent more money on Invisalign if I knew I would’ve gone through this.

    SmileDirecClub dallas texas. They do not know how to manufacture and create the aligners, you waste all your time paying for them and wearing them, then have to get a touch up to wear them all over again because they don't adjust anything.. Whoever creates the aligners do a very poor job, I do not recommend this ** company and their unprofessional staff. They are out to take your money only, Go pro, don't waste time.

    I will be 100% honest as a student who chose to invest in SmileDirectClub. Regardless of how much cheaper they are than braces, there are definitely numerous things I believe people should know about these aligners before purchasing them. To speed up this review, here are some important bullet points:
    -The aligners are not comfortable at all, and if you don't qualify for the night-time aligners, be ready to start mumbling while wearing these aligners 22 hrs/day.
    -If a certain pair of aligners don't fit you, the company won't send new fits right away, instead, they'll tell you to shove them in anyways.
    -The aligners never stop; after wearing them for your regular plan, you will CONTINUE wearing your retainers 22 hrs/day for the rest of your life.

    -You will also continue to pay for retainers for the rest of your life; one pair only lasts about 6 months.

    Personally, going back, I would have much rather gone with another company or even gotten braces again for a small period of time. It's worth doing that than wearing these cheaply made aligners for the rest of your life. Also, be aware that if you don't wear these for 22-24 hrs/day, your teeth will loosen, and the treatment won't work. So big takeaway, be ready to wear these uncomfortable aligners and then retainers for the rest of your life, and be aware that you will be paying for retainers every 6 months after your treatment.

    I went to some little site and they did all these pictures and then four weeks later, I started getting the shipments and wearing the retainers. I only wear them at night. For the most part, it was easy to schedule to get to a site, get measured, and then you're gonna get your retainers. My teeth definitely have straightened out. They've moved over time. I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone.

    I was a little scared of SmileDirect but I'm glad I did it. Getting my kit was super easy. One of my aligners didn't fit and immediately, they said, "Put on your old aligner, we'll send you a new one." They were very accommodating and helpful. The cost wasn't bad. I was worried that the services would be kind of crappy because the cost was less, but it turned out that they were very responsive. Every adjustment they made was free and I was very appreciative of that.

But it came with from day one to the last day and it came with instructions like, "Wear this pair for this amount of weeks." It also came with free whitening for my daughter's teeth. And it would also send a reminder. It worked out good for her. And the price was right. She wore the retainers for 20 hours a day and would take them out to eat.

    The mold from SmileDirectClub was a little tough. It's really strange because I was doing it by myself, and the first time, I didn't get a good mold, so they sent it back and were like, "Do the top." The bottom was fine. I didn't press hard enough in the back for the molars, so they wouldn't connect it. I only had to do it twice for the top. Other than that, it was super fast. I didn't return the package quickly, but it got returned to me and delivered to them very fast. It took me about a month to really do my part and the molding and sending it out, but once they said that I was all clear and I finished my second mold for the top, it took a week or two.

    As far as the retainers, I wake up and then I take them out to brush my teeth, and I put them right back on. Then I just go about my day. When I wanna eat, I just take them out and put them back in my case. Then, around later on in the evening, I'll eat dinner and I'll take it out for an hour or so, and I'll clean it then. I'll go back to sleep with them in. The first time, the first pair was really bad. It was really weird but after that, you get used to it. On the third pair, it was like, "All right, this is how it is." The result is really crazy. I get complimented on it now, and it's really cool. I get told I smile a lot more now.

    My daughter had two front teeth and one was longer than the other. The two teeth on the left side of the front tooth were turned and then, there were five teeth on the bottom that were turned as well. We wanted to straighten that up. And now, they look great. She loves them. She has been through the year process and she just received three pairs of retainers. One pair is not fitting properly and I need to know what to do, and I'm not getting any response. So the end part of this whole thing has been shaky. It makes me nervous, because you spend a lot of money to have that fixed and now that there's a problem, I'm not getting any resolution as to what we're supposed to do. So that's discouraging.

    I used the online chat and that seemed to work. But you always lose connection so you never get an answer to your question and nothing ever gets fixed. I started calling and it was the same thing. After the fourth phone call, I figured that was a little odd. But other than that, SmileDirect was great in the beginning. The reps were very helpful and answered all my questions. I always got an email as well as a text message in regards to doing a great job and that it was time to switch to aligners. It was awesome. They did a great job but in this last piece, they shook their hands like they're done. I wish their customer service was a little bit better.

    I have a rather petite mouth, so the trays are always uncomfortable to get in and out. I didn't wanna do it at home because I wasn't confident I'd be able to do it accurately. Then, I found out that SmileDirect had the storefront where you could go in and they'd do that wand thing. That would be better and I wouldn't have to gag on those trays. So, I made the appointment and I went to the storefront. Then, I received the kit after a couple of weeks. But they gave me the whitener thing, so I felt like I was starting right away. At work, it was too cumbersome to take the retainer in and out. So, because I was having such great success, I decreased the time I wore it by myself to just wearing it at night. Instead of switching on my retainers every week, I did it every other week and I slept with them.

    It was surprising because I was feeling better that my teeth looked good. Then, one of my best friends for 20 years told me while we were having dinner that my teeth looked amazing. She said they were so straight and that was really nice. Getting into the program is expensive and you have to really want to have a straighter smile. But I like the ease of it and there's something about the packaging that gets you excited. I also like the reminders and the ability to click on something to get back on track. Because then, it seemed more manageable.

    I'm really impressed with not just the results of the retainers, but I really enjoy the business model in general because I'm an entrepreneur at heart. So, I really appreciate all the different pieces that had to work together to make this a positive experience for me. Straighter teeth is great. But then, it's very interesting when you look at the packaging aspect, the technology piece, and the process of sending the photos for your check-ins.

    I gave SmileDirect a second go-round and now I'm finishing up with my plan. However, I lost my last set that was recently sent and I let them know that. It's been three weeks now, but I still have not received any retainers. The customer service rep had let me know it would take weeks to get another set of retainers. I let the rep know if it takes that long, my teeth can possibly regress. He said not that much if I keep wearing the same pair. But those are just supposed to be for one week and I've been wearing it for weeks. I'm worried that my teeth won't close all the way because I don't have my retainers. SmileDirect is a good alternative to metal braces but they have to have a plan for an additional retainer set that can alleviate any concerns when they have customers like me who lose their retainers.

I wore the retainers 22 hours a day for four months and there was no problem whatsoever with them. They were a little bit loose and somewhere between, but nothing bad. Now, the gaps on my teeth are gone and my lip's no longer getting stuck. SmileDirectClub is the way to go. Working with them requires no visit or no having to make time to go to a dentist.

    SmileDirectClub sent us these putty kind of things with these little trays. You put the putty on your teeth and you smash it up onto the teeth, then you hold it there for about a minute or two until it hardens. We did three sets of those so they could get the best imprints, then we mailed them back in. They changed every month or so, so they would push my son's teeth into the correct spot. After we sent in the imprint, they went through and did some sort of laser thing. Then they sent us a box with the entire treatment and each little retainer set came in its own individual bag. On the bag, it said how long to wear the aligners which was usually two or four weeks. So, when my son would finish one, he would just move on to the next bag.

    He had them on all the time unless he was eating. They gave him a little case to put them in and he would put them back in after he ate and brushed his teeth. When he would first use them, sometimes they would have a rough edge when he would put them in. But the kit came with a file to soften the spots that were rubbing on his gums. Every now and then, when he would put a new one in, it was uncomfortable because, just like when you tighten regular braces, the metal ones would cause soreness. But that would last a day or so and things would be back to normal. They also sent us a little 3-D animation on what my son's teeth should look like as they change over time. SmileDirectClub was really easy to use and his teeth came out pretty good. Aside from that, it was nice that in the kit, they sent a whitening toothpaste. So, not only is his teeth straight, they're whiter also.

    SmileDirectClub does it right where they get you on a subscription and send you a new set every six months or at least ask you if you want them. I've gotten my first three retainers. They reach out to me when it's time to order another retainer. When I lost a set, I did the chatbot thing expecting them to send me another one. It asked all these questions. Based on where I was, they told me to move on to the next one. That was easy and helpful. I did the nighttime plan and I was supposed to wear them for 10 hours a night but didn't. Looking back, I wish I would have worn each aligner set for longer. I'm still wearing the last set and I can get the retainers on, but it's tight. Hopefully, it'll do what I want because there are still little shifts throughout the day.

    As I was getting close to the end of the program, I started getting emails about ordering my retainer. As I was looking through the menu and questions, it said what if I was not happy with my results. I clicked on that because there was an issue with my bottom teeth. I filled out that questionnaire. It said, "Congratulations, you've been approved for touch-up aligners," but I didn't hear anything from anybody for SmileDirectClub for a long time.

    I've kept getting emails of two different kinds. One was, "You haven't ordered your retainers yet." The other emails were, "You've been approved for your aligners. You need to do your impression kit," but I never got an impression kit. I replied to one of those and said, "I don't need a retainer yet. You guys said I was approved. I don't have an impression kit." Then, someone emailed and said, "Since you're an existing customer, you can order one for $29." Then when it said to go on to the app and order one, it cost me $59. They sent the impression kit. It took me 10 days instead of two days to get it back to them. As soon as they had received it, I started getting emails again telling me they were glad I was a new customer. I told them I was not a new customer.

    I looked up a phone number and called somebody. I said, "There's a problem here. Y'all need to figure out I'm not a new customer and that I'm supposed to be getting touch-up aligners. I'm going on six weeks to eight weeks. I'm in my last aligner now. I'm supposed to have something going here." Finally, someone called me back. They told me my touch-up aligners would cost me $250. I said, "No one said anything about it costing any more. Tell me why." The rep said, "It's because you didn't complete your plan in the amount of time that you were supposed to." I said, "No one said anything about having to do that for the warranty to work." Whenever you check in using your aligners, it says, "If you've gotten off track, just let us know." If I'd forgotten to wear my aligner for one day, then I'd adjust the date to make sure I wore it for 14 days like they tell you to. He said, "I'll send you an email by the end of the day with a link to pay," which he didn't.

    After four days, I still hadn't gotten an email. I called again and spoke to a lady who said, "This shouldn't have happened." I went ahead and gave her my card number over the phone. I paid her the 250, and she said, "I need to escalate this and make sure that you get taken care of because it shows that you owe more money." I said, "I don't want a whole new plan. I just need the touch-up aligners." Yesterday, I finally got the email that said, "Congratulations. Your touch-up aligners are being made. They should be finished in two or three days and they'll be on their way to you."

    I've always had a gap and I've always wanted to close it but I'm too old to walk around with metal in my mouth. I did SmileDirectClub as it just seemed more logical to have a little plastic in my mouth and you can't really tell why my mouth has been closed. The top portion of my teeth was not really too crooked. I liked the price and the affordability as well. I saved up and got a price of what it would cost for paying the cash-out.

    I went into a facility in High Point and they took 1,000 pictures. That was fine. The whole kit was then shipped to me. Wearing the product was fine. They tell you that you have to cut them - clip it then file it. But there were certain ones that were fine. I did one week and mine was the 24-hour thing. It was hard because you go eat and even if you slide them back in, you’re still not doing the 24 hours. The other thing was the product would suck the skin underneath my jaw. It’s just so weird. Because you got this soft thing in your mouth, you always have saliva and you always suck it. That was the negative part of it. It sucks my tongue too and it was sore for a while. I ended up with the right side and left side thing. When when I did that tongue thing, it made it hard when you want to eat.

    The problem I'm having right now is the product didn't totally close my gap. My procedure first was to go and get the middle thing between my teeth taken out. The dentist didn't take the bone or the bristle out. He clipped the little meaty thing that's attached to the lip and attached to the gum. I got all that done before I even got the product, thinking that that would help.

    My daughter got hers done. She said they did surgery and actually sliced the middle thing. She went on and got the metal braces. Mine is still fighting to separate. I told SmileDirectClub, “That's neither here nor there with you guys.” I still got number 15 in my mouth and I'm still wearing those. I reached out to the physical place and explained to them about the situation. The product did the straightening of the teeth but the gap is still there. It's smaller now. They told me to take three pictures and they would see whether or not I would qualify for the extension because the product didn't quite do a full job. I took three pictures of my mouth and I've not heard back from anybody. It's been over almost three weeks now.

    I'm trying to hurry and get the rest of my dental work done. Until all of that is done, it doesn't make any sense to wear a retainer because the retainer would be just where the gap should be totally closed. That aside, I'd tell others to go to SmileDirectClub. I have a supervisor who has really crooked teeth. I told her, "If you can pay cash for it, ma’am, just swipe your ATM card. Save a little." If you do the payments, it's gonna be 1,500. You're looking to have $450 extra if you’re doing the small payments. A lot of people don't know that.

I wore mine for four months and my teeth are back the way they were when I had my braces removed as a teenager. I was very pleased. The only thing is when I got to the end of the program, they said I need to purchase retainers every six months. That's not practical. They didn't tell me that when I signed up and retainers are $300. If I had known that, I probably would not have signed up for it. The other company turned out to be a lot more expensive upfront but when you look at it, SmileDirectClub asking you to purchase retainers works out to be about the same as the that other company.

    It's easy and straightforward. They send you everything initially up front. And as long as you pay attention and follow the directions, it's worth it. The treatment plan was for six months. I changed them when I got the notifications. I sent the pictures in when the app prompted me to. After treatment was complete, I wore the retainers during the day for the three weeks. Now my treatment is complete I wear them only at night. SmileDirectClub had me take a picture of my top, the bottom, and from the front to be reviewed by their orthodontist that was supposed to oversee my care. I received feedback after the first time. But I did not receive feedback after the second time. I was left if they it. I just assumed all was well because I didn't hear anything.

    My biggest complaint was there were ridges on the different aligners that would rub on my gums and it would be painful and uncomfortable. That would make me leave them out longer than I was supposed to. But I tried hard to work through it and file and use the wax that they gave me. That was annoying. Other than that, it seems to do exactly what it was supposed to do. That crooked teeth that were turned are now straight. And my bite is no longer wearing the enamel. Tthe last time I went for cleaning, my hygienist noticed a difference as well.

    My daughter used SmileDirect, and then I joined and had my teeth fixed. I'm 62, and my front two teeth were tipping in and all my teeth were shifting a little bit and I wanted to correct it. My smile is a lot better now. They did reach out to me and I have to respond again. My two front teeth are still tipping in slightly and they were willing to consider providing another retainer for me. But I'm 90% satisfied. I communicated with the reps mostly through email and they were always positive and polite. It was an easy process. They're invisaligners and it's not obvious what you're doing. I like that piece of it too rather than having metal wrapped around my mouth. The whole thing was very smooth. It was a good experience. They were willing to answer questions. SmileDirect is cost-effective. It's an easy service to work with.

    My son's front teeth weren't aligned right. So he was not confident smiling. We did the home kit and it didn't turn out great. So we ended up going into the site down in Honolulu and the lady there was fantastic. She was really helpful and quick. Everything worked really good and my son is super committed. He wore the aligners when he was supposed to. So it's all been great.

    He's completed the program. I just had to order a new set of retainers because he lost it. When I had to reorder the retainers, it was a long process. I was on a long hold, and then I was in this chat thing, and then nobody could understand that it wasn't for me but it was for my son. So there was some discord with that and I was literally on the phone all morning for something that should have been a really easy reorder. But I got the retainers yesterday in the mail, so he has those now. It's all good.

    You need to figure out the whitener thing that came in the kit. We got the kit, but there's no cube. There's nothing that we have or find that it plugs into. My son would like to whiten his smile, but we can't find the thing that goes with what they gave us. But overall, I'm very happy with SmileDirect. I wish we would have done this for my daughter. I'm not as happy with them and they cost three times as much as SmileDirect.

    I went to SmileDirect's pop-up location and they did an X-ray on my mouth with the wand and it was done fairly quick. It was pretty simple. I did the nighttime one, so it was so simple. I loved that I had the option to only wear them at night. They were very comfortable and it was a very easy process. But I had a few issues with me not liking the end result, which wasn't a big deal. There's one little tooth that hadn't maneuvered all the way. But SmileDirect was very accommodating to help me. My teeth are perfectly where they should be. I would recommend it.

    I liked SmileDirect's price and the easiness of doing it. Everything was done through mail, and I didn't have to send anything back. They all worked perfectly. My experience was wonderful. It took a little less than four months, and you could see the difference. I've got the before and after pictures. I did call them one time and said, “I don't know if it's working as fast as it should be.” I was just impatient but they took a look at me, virtually, on the phone and they said, “You're right where you should be,” and reassured me that everything was going okay. It was going okay.

    I'm 68 years old and I thought I was too old for braces. I thought, “Well, that SmileDirect would probably work,” and it did. I had a big gap in the front of my teeth that just kept feeling wider and wider. My bottom ones were just turning in and out. There were different directions and spaces all in between them. I was so self-conscious. It really did something for my confidence. Before, I wouldn't smile. If I'd take a picture, I'd only show my top teeth. I would stick my tongue in between the gap in between the top teeth so nobody can see that there was a gap there. So, SmileDirect came through. I was very happy with it. They can't get me to stop smiling now. Go to SmileDirect. As a matter of fact, one of my friends went to Invisalign. She went there before I went to SmileDirect, and hers is still taking her longer. She's a lot younger than I am. I'm very pleased to find that she is still using her Invisalign. because we’ve been comparing.

    I've completed the process with SmileDirect. Everything went smooth. It was fair cost compared to other similar products and it seemed pretty seamless to me with the process. I'm satisfied with the results. I'm not a huge fan of the aftercare, the retainers, because of the longevity of them and the material they're made out of. They get really nasty and gross and they're supposed to last for six months. Other than that, the more traditional route of permanent retainers is probably a better route.

    My experience was absolutely fantastic. I went to a location and the rep explained SmileDirect to me. He showed me his progress which was pretty good. I gave it a try and I was really happy that everything was in one box and was clearly labeled. I was happy that it was a four-month process. When I started, it was a little tough getting used to brushing my teeth after eating so often. I purchased a little travel toothbrush and toothpaste and kept it in my purse.

    I also like that everything was online. I could Google some questions if they weren't on the website or the app. I also like the whitening system that came with the aligners as well. It was great when I started seeing results I thought the process of wearing the aligners was going to be more difficult but it wasn't. It only took 15 minutes to get used to the squeezing on my teeth.

    I had a little trouble with the inside aligners where I had to cut and sometimes file down in the beginning part. But this was for the first two aligners and I didn't have problems with the rest with that part scraping on the inside of my tongue. I was however surprised because they tricked me and told me I was on my last set of aligners. My retainers will be coming and now I have to wear the retainers for three weeks, the same way I wore my aligners. They said you only wear the retainers at night. So I was expecting just to wear them at night.

    After a failed series of treatments with a different company, I gave SmileDirectClub a chance. They have an office near me and I went in. They did a 3D scan of my mouth and I really liked that better than the impressions which could be a little off when you take them off. The 3D scan was quick and easy. Everyone was nice, polite, and clean. It took about three to four weeks from my initial appointment to getting my retainers in the mail and I had to wear them 22 hours a day, which I did. It was a bit of a hassle keeping them clean, but I got little dissolvent tabs and that worked.

    Then I had to have a correction done since by the 12th of the 16 week program, my teeth weren't where they were supposed to be. I had a habit of not drinking hot liquids but when the retainers would first go in, I would chomp on them to try and get them to fit quickly instead of being really high up. My molars were really stubborn, so it was like I was forcing it and it got a little out of shape. Also, the one tooth that I really wanted lined up wasn't in line. I sent the photos to SmileDirectClub and they did a re-scan. They said my teeth were off and they did a fresh treatment plan getting from where I was to where I was supposed to be. So, I had to throw away the rest of the retainers and they did a fresh new set of eight. And by the time I was done with those, my smile was correct and my teeth were right where they needed to be. I was more careful that time about letting my teeth move and not chomping on the retainers.

    SmileDirectClub was good. I just had to go online and they sent my impressions very quickly. I did my impressions and they said my aligners would be in quickly. And they were there within three weeks. Everything was easy to read and do. I'd get a text every week saying I have one week left for these aligners. And then on Sundays, I'd get another text saying it’s time to change my aligners, let's say, to aligner number two. But I'm not 100% pleased although the end result is good. I could have gone back and said maybe I need another month with my aligners. I wear my retainers every night and it helps.

    Very rarely did I speak with anybody at SmileDirectClub. It was all just text and that worked out fine for me. My nail person’s husband used SmileDirectClub and at first, they weren't pleased because SmileDirect said that it was all done but he didn't feel like he was done. So they said they would send him some more aligners and to keep working on it. Still, I would recommend SmileDirect.

    I had a lot of crooked teeth and I wanted to straighten that out and look nicer. I got the molding kit from SmileDirect quickly. It was also easy with the instructions they gave. But I ended up having to go back in person to a SmileDirect shop to get some things corrected in my smile. I had to get the 3D scan and a new set of aligners.

    I'm in my retainer part now. But I'm having a hard time. My teeth are still trying to move quite a bit. I was under the impression that when we did our retainers that we would be doing another scan before we got the retainers and that was not the case. I don't know if I just misunderstood that. But they sent me the retainers and they don't seem to fit correctly. I've called in at least once and they said, "Give it a week and we'll follow up," but no one ever followed up. So I'm wearing my retainers as much as I can until my teeth stop moving.

    The customer support was very lacking other than the lady at the SmileDirect shop. I could barely understand some of them when they were speaking to me and they didn't seem to want to help me. I also never ever got to speak to my orthodontist that was assigned to my project even when I was having new aligners sent and went to the Direct Smile shop. But the product is great if you're willing to adapt and do your own critical thinking to make things work.

    I'm almost due for the last treatment to buy the retainers for my teeth. But I'm still needing to use it again because I'll have to take pictures so I can see them again. So, that way, I can continue getting another one. But my smile is improving. The lower part is getting there. The reps were friendly and very cheerful. They were very nice and respectful when you call, and when they tell you goodbye, they wish you a good day. I was kinda skeptical about SmileDirect, but it really proved me wrong.

    I had a space on one side and as I got older, I had to get a root canal and I had a bigger one on the other side. I wanted those fixed, so I decided to go with SmileDirectClub. And I'm glad I did. I went to one of the facilities and the lady who helped me out was really sweet. She had been a SmileDirectClub user and her smile was beautiful. She did the little impressions with the wand and showed me what was going on, and it was pretty quick and easy. Wearing the retainers was easy as well. I would wake up, take them out and brush my teeth, put them back in, take them out to eat, then brush my teeth, floss, and put them back in again. I'm happy with the results and I will recommend them to anyone who wants an easy fix to a problem.

    My mom did SmileDirectClub and I've seen the results that she was getting. That made me wanna get the service myself. There were a lot of spaces between my teeth so I wanted to close those gaps. When you first change out the impressions, they're pretty tight. But after a few days, they're comfortable. I did them for 22 hours a day and I only took them out when I ate. I probably was eating only once a day at the time. It was amazing how fast they work. I was able to close in the gaps. In terms of aftercare, I've been wearing my retainers not as much as I should. But there haven't been any adjustments. I would definitely recommend SmileDirectClub and tell others how fast the results were and the process of everything and how it goes.
