FAQ

Invisible teeth aligners are plastic trays that fit around your teeth and are worn to move them into their proper place. Unlike braces, invisible aligners do not have brackets or metal wires, and are hardly noticeable to the public eye. Typically, a series of aligners are worn and interchanged every 2-3 weeks to get the desired results. Depending on the severity of the case, a treatment can vary from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. Many people prefer to use invisible aligners because they are easy to clean, are less noticeable, and don’t cause as much discomfort to gums and cheeks.

Many invisible teeth aligners require you to go to your orthodontist or doctor on a regular basis. However, Smilelove’s process is different and can be done while at home. Here’s how our invisible aligners work:

1)  We begin by determining if you are a good candidate by asking you a few simple questions. This gives our dental experts a good idea of what you want your finished smile to look like.

2)  Once you are given the go ahead, you can order an impression kit. We’ll send you all the materials you’ll need to make your own teeth impressions right at home. Follow our instructions to make four impressions, and send them with a prepaid shipping label back to Smilelove.

3)  A trained doctor will evaluate the molds, and send you what your teeth will look like after the process is complete. Once approved, a treatment schedule will be mapped out, and you’ll know exactly how long you’ll have to wear your invisible teeth aligners.

4)  Smilelove will directly mail you your custom invisible teeth aligners to wear. You’ll change to a new aligner about every two weeks. Wear them for the proposed time to get the straight, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted!

Smilelove’s invisible teeth aligners are quite affordable, and cost 75% less than other teeth straightening methods. You’re not only saving money on your invisible aligners but also money from the dentist and orthodontist appointments you would have had to pay for. It’s no wonder Smilelove is the cheapest way to straighten your teeth. We offer a variety of packages to better fit your situation and budget:

Fast Track Kit & Aligners (reg. $2,099): This is our most popular package where you can pay for everything up front for a cheaper alternative to Invisalign and a cheaper way to straighten your teeth. This package is the lowest cost for clear aligners and the quickest way to a straighter smile.

Smilelove Monthly Plan (reg. $106/month): If you’d like to spread out your payments, you can pay $106/month with Paybright based on a purchase price of $2,199 at 7.95% APR for 24 months. This plan will spread the cost of your clear aligners out with options over 12, 18 or 24 months. There is no penalty to pay your balance off early.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our pricing or packages. We’d love to help in any way we can!

Our aligners may be covered by your HSA benefits. You will need to check with insurance and company to see if it will be covered. 

On a scale of 1- stubbing your toe, it’s probably a 3 or 4. There may be some slight discomfort with each new aligner set, but the pain shouldn’t last more than a day or two.

You may have a lisp for the first day or two while getting used to them, but you know who else has had a lisp? Drew Barrymore, Winston Churchill, Barbara Walters- just to name a few. Talk about good company. ;)

Yes. In order for us to get an accurate impression of your teeth so we can make the best fitting aligners, our Dental Team will require you to remove your permanent wire. We'll need your wire removed if you would like to straighten either one or both rows of teeth.

Absolutely. Once you've sent in your kit, let us know about the bridge and our doctors will make sure they work. We'll be able to determine if we're the right fit for you, and if not, you'll be refunded in full.

You sure can. However, we still need impressions for both the top and the bottom teeth. Our Dental Team needs both to ensure that your bite is aligned well at the end of your treatment. For this reason too the price is the same whether you're doing just the top, just the bottom or both.

If your dentist has suggested wisdom teeth removal, we recommend going that route first. If he/she said you don’t need them out (wahoo) then you’re all clear to order an impression kit and get started with your treatment.

An impression kit is what we send you in order to get molds of your teeth and to create your treatment. They include practice putty, 4 trays (2 for top teeth and 2 for bottom), and real putty for creating the molds. We also include instructions for photos and making a good impression, cheek stretchers, and a prepaid shipping label to slap back on the box and drop off at the post office.

A Treatment Preview is a digital rendition of what your teeth currently look like as well as what they will look like at the end of your treatment. If you like the look of your future smile, you can go ahead and order your aligners. If you don’t, you can cancel your order for all of your money back. Nice and painless.

Of course it’s safe. Our aligner treatment is FDA approved and is prescribed and overseen by board-certified orthodontists. We do recommend seeing your dentist before starting the Smilelove treatment to make sure there aren’t any pre-existing conditions that may cause complications during the treatment process.

There's only one way to find out. If you complete our smile assessment here, we will know if you’re a good fit.

As long as there aren’t any unforeseen delays or extenuating circumstances, you should receive your aligners about 6-8 weeks after ordering your impression kit.

You’re not alone. No worries, we have you covered. We have three sizes of trays that should work for every size of mouth. If you feel that your mouth is smaller or larger than average, we will text you when you order your impression kit and you can let us know then.
