Do not do it!

By Dr. Rochelle T., Washington DC, Verified Reviewer

I started out believing that this would be a dream come true but it turned out to be my worst nightmare.

After being ghosted by my account rep after requesting a refund, I found that the dentist that was supposed to be in my state is not even licensed in my state. Omg.

I’m so frustrated because I followed the treatment plan to a tee and was not even close to results, and I never got a check-in from the “dentist”.

This was a terrible experience and they stole my money.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Not good

By Tara C., Boynton Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer

I initially had a good experience. Upon completion of my initial treatment plan, I requested a touch-up due to not having the results equally to the requested final teeth alignment. They require you to maintain monthly check-ins and follow up, which I did. They sent me a new impression kit, which I completed and returned.

I never received any correspondence so approximately 3 months later I contacted them. They saw my returned kit in my file and stated there was an outstanding balance, which I had paid in full at the beginning of my treatment. They told me they would look into it and that I should not be charged due to their free touch-up policy. I never received a call back. I followed up approximately 4 months after that with no resolution.

I recently followed up to address the issue and request my file be reviewed. The first thing is, they have no supervisor you can speak with or the “dental team” that they reference being in charge of the account. They are stating that I will have to pay $100 a month for 3 months to receive my touch-up (with is really a continuation of the results not matching my initial evaluation and request for my teeth placement). I am incredibly dissatisfied with this service.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Initially good

No help with customer service

No contact to dental team

Squeeze you for every dime

Don’t listen to your desired result

Over charge

Don’t honor their touch up policy

Great team!

By Samantha T., Albany, NY, Verified Reviewer

SmileDirectClub is always very helpful and gets back to me in a timely manner. I have had a handful of wonderful team members assist me throughout my time with the company! I had to get some scans done and went into the office in the Albany, NY location where Carley assisted me! She was great! Very welcoming, friendly, and could answer any questions/concerns that I had regarding my treatment! She made my appointment easy, quick, and enjoyable!

Be vary wary of SmileDirectClub

By Scott S., Greenville, SC, Verified Reviewer

SDC took a $2100 unauthorized withdrawal from my account before I agreed to purchase their product. They did not deliver the agreed-upon smile. And they were grossly incompetent in the making of their products. My plan was scheduled for 6 months, but took 9 and required three subsequent office visits and rescans of my teeth and replacement aligners. The first 3 months were fine but we hit a point where they just couldn't make aligners to match the reality in my mouth. To make matters worse, their customer service, while extremely polite, was incapable of addressing issues.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Good marketing

Upbeat

Packaging is excellent

Could not deliver product paid for

Could not deliver agreed upon out come

Polite, but incompetent customer service

Wow

By Donna Perezella, Nashville, TN, Verified Reviewer

I had no idea what to expect, but the experience was incredible. Erin was thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. The Nashville location was beautiful and energetic. The entire appointment took fifteen minutes and I left very excited and eager to receive my "box." I have been contemplating Invisalign for four years, and then SmileDirectClub came along.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Angela Daniels, Tucson, AZ, Verified Reviewer

Easy to use and amazing results!

By Brianna B., Alexandria, VA, Verified Reviewer

The idea of not going to the dentist to get your teeth fixed was just crazy to me. Having braces in the past, I thought that was the only way to go. Smile Direct Club is a great company and I love the idea of the smile shops where you can get your 3D scans done fast and easy! The treatment plan is presented very well and the product is easy to use. I’m blown away by my results.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Scan

By Medina S., New Milford, CT, Verified Reviewer

I would recommend this to someone who's trying to get a better smile. I felt so at home from the moment I walked in the door, a very pleasant warm welcome from my tech Jasmeiny. Nothing painful and it was quick, and she made me feel very comfortable due to me being shy to show my teeth. I'm very excited and can't wait for my new smile. Thanks again Jasmeiny!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
