I’m finally, finally sharing my second video about Smile Direct Club invisible aligners and I started my treatment plan! Since I decided to start my aligners (I chose to do the monthly $99 payment option in case you’re wondering) I have been so glad I did. I can feel my teeth moving and can’t wait to see what they look like in real life after the whole process. I also wanted to note that currently I am almost done with the first week of my third aligner. In the video I say I’m on my second aligner. Yeah, it took a while to finally get this posted.
I will be wearing 16 different invisible aligners on my top teeth for 2 weeks each. So it comes out to about 8 months. Then I’ll have to wear a retainer after for 6 weeks then only while I sleep after that. The reason I don’t have bottom aligners is because my bottom teeth are already straight and Smile Direct Club decided there was no need for me to have them.
In the video I go more in depth about the first aligner box and my experience so far. It has been pretty interesting and hard to get used to but I just keep thinking about those pretty aligned teeth in the end. And white teeth too! The aligners come with teeth whitening gel!! Which was a nice surprise because I was under the impression that it only came with it if you paid in full but nope! Everyone gets the whitening gel.

Thanks for sharing, Jenny. I went into SDC yesterday for my scan and I already got my smile plan email. I’m curious about you not getting bottom aligners.
I wore braces when I was a teenager and my bottom teeth are pretty much perfectly straight- the tech even made a comment about what a great job my orthodontist did. But when I asked about only top, she said that there was no price difference and that the SDC docs almost always recommend both. This of course doesn’t make any sense to me, especially since I have an underbite and there is no issue with corrective aligning to create top and bottom match like the SDC faq mentions.
Curious if you had to push for them to only do top, or if that was their suggestion, and if there was a price differnece?? Thanks!
Hmm, that’s interesting. I didn’t push for them to only allow me to do the top. I actually asked them why I wasn’t getting the bottom aligners and they just said that it just wasn’t needed. I also asked about the price to see if I could get a discount since I was only getting my top teeth fixed but they said it’s all the same price. I never went in for a scan or anything, it’s all been via mail/e-mail. Maybe they are changing the way they do things now and want everyone to have both top and bottom? I don’t know. The only reason I would think they would have you do the bottom too is in case your bite moves with your top teeth? I haven’t really noticed a huge difference in my bite though.
