Smile Direct Club overview


In case you're not too familiar with how Smile Direct Club (SDC) works, we'll quickly explain before we jump into our Smile Direct Club reviews. They provide clear aligners to straighten your teeth, a bit like the Invisalign system. The big difference is that at-home aligners don't require visits to a dentist's office; your aligners are posted to you and a dentist or orthodontist monitors your treatment remotely.

You have two options to get started with your SDC treatment. One is to order your impression kit online. You'll get your kit delivered to you at home, so you can take the impressions of your teeth on your own and send them back, making treatment 100% remote.


Your other option is to go to a physical Smile Direct location, known as a SmileShop, where a trained representative will take 3D scans of your teeth. There are currently 21 SmileShop locations in the UK.


Whichever option you choose, a dentist or orthodontist will then analyse your teeth and come up with a treatment plan. All your aligners are posted to you at once, and you can begin your treatment, switching to a new set of aligners every week or two as instructed.


Your dentist or orthodontist will monitor your treatment remotely and check in periodically to make sure your teeth are moving as planned.


The end result, in theory, is straighter teeth that have cost you a lot less than if you visited the dentist for braces.
