Question 1

Why should I choose clear aligners over metal braces for my teen?

Accepted Answer

One of the benefits of clear aligners is that they can be easily removed, so your teen can practice good oral health habits like flossing and brushing. Metal braces often hinder that process for teens, and they struggle to keep up with proper oral hygiene. Plus, SmileDirectClub aligners cost 60% less than braces and Invisalign with no hidden costs or fees.

Question 4

What happens if my teen loses an aligner?

Accepted Answer

We understand that mistakes happen. For starters, give our Customer Care team a call at 1-800-688-4010 so we can understand where your teen is in their Smile Journey™. Then our dental team can provide the best recommendation for your teen's care based on their unique situation. Their treating doctor and our dental team may advise your teen to wear their last set of aligners or to move on to the next set. If we determine your teen needs a replacement aligner, we will send you the first set for free. Subsequent replacement aligners may be subject to a $99 surcharge depending on the circumstances. Either way — give us a call and we’ll work with you to develop the best path forward for your teen's treatment.
