SmileDirectClub aligners are an easy choice for both teens and parents. 

Say so long to traditional metal braces and hello to aligners from SmileDirectClubDoctors agree – aligners could be an ideal fit for your lifestyle, and more teens are choosing them every day. Here are 5 ways to tell your parents you want aligners.

Parents can rest easy knowing the entire SmileDirectClub process is doctor-directed. We work with a network of more than 250 state licensed dentists and orthodontists, and each customer is assigned one who remotely monitors their smile each step of the way. You’ll also have regular virtual check ins with your doctor to make your smile is moving according to plan.  

Our Customer Care and Dental teams are also available 24/7 via phone, email, social media, chat, and video chat to answer any questions.

It’s true. At half the cost of braces1, SmileDirectClub aligners are an affordable way to straighten your smile. You could pay less each month than your cell phone bill. We also work directly with many insurance providers, and even accept HSA, FSA, and CareCredit.
