  • Simple pricing plan, often covered by insurance
  • Faster results than traditional braces

Cons

  • Only works for mild to moderate tooth issues

Bad customer service, very slow process.

By Luke K., Los Molinos, CA, Verified Reviewer

It’s been about 2 months now since I signed up and paid, but I still can’t start the process! I was weary of trying SmileDirect, but their pushy salespeople convinced me to try it. I am VERY disappointed so far. First of all, they told me an orthodontist would reach out to me within 3 days of my scan. I NEVER heard anything from an orthodontist. About a month later, I received my box. I read the directions and went to try the first aligner. It was poorly packaged and badly damaged. I got ahold of customer support and they had me send them a picture of the aligner and said they’d send me a replacement. Well, it’s been another month since then. I’ve tried reaching out to them several times and no response. What a horrible business. I wish I would have started working with a REAL orthodontist.

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

Hi Luke, thanks for leaving us a review and sharing feedback about your experience. Customers should receive their SmilePlans within 72 hours of their appointment after it is approved by the dentist or orthodontist assigned to the case. The doctor won't reach out directly, but the plan will not be sent out without their final approval. All of our aligners go through multiple quality checks, so we're concerned to hear about this. I am sending you a private message to see how we can help. Best, Madison.

Great Customer Service

By Ayeshah A., Harlem, NY, Verified Reviewer

This location is very nice. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and I was offered bottled water. Samantha then came to the front to get me started for my scan. She did a really good job going over the whole process which made me feel at ease. She was very friendly and polite and knowledgable of the aligners and how it works. Would definitely recommend!

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

Company doesn’t communicate with itself?!

By Kimberly D., Appleton, WI, Verified Reviewer

Wow too much to write. So here’s the short version. Everything was going OK until I got to month two. I looked ahead at month three and noticed that there was one package that had zero liners in it so I immediately called and the lady said no problem, I’ll get them ordered so they will be there by the time it’s actually time to wear those liners nothing came. Through many many many many emails I finally received them two months late. Then when it came time for the retainer I was promised a free set for all of my trouble, LOL, so I contacted through email and sent them a picture of the email that was sent to me showing that I would get a free set and someone responded and said awesome, I ordered them, they’ll be there in 3 to 4 weeks. Then I receive a phone call two weeks later from someone, turns out they were never ordered. So just a couple more wasted weeks. So supposedly she put the order in and maybe in a month I will actually have them. This company is ridiculous. I hope another company comes along and as long as they get their customer service right, they’ll do great. This place sucks, do not go here, try a different company!

3D Smile Review

By Mj W., Little Rock, AR, Verified Reviewer

Megan really took the awkwardness out of looking at teeth that aren’t straight. It’s weird having someone in your mouth when you aren’t really comfortable with your teeth. She didn’t make me feel bad. She was amazing at explaining the smile direct process and discussing my journey with the aligners. She and her manager Brittany made sure I left the building informed and excited. Thank you guys for the amazing visit.

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