We're telling it to you straight (dental joke!): clear braces are never going to be cheap. With prices solidly in the four digits, adult orthodontia is an investment. But companies like Smile Direct Club have found a way to significantly lower the cost of clear braces, and now they've partnered with Groupon Coupons to save customers even more. How you ask? Coupons and a straightforward process that's easy and convenient for everyone.

Smile Direct Club Costs Less Than Competitors

First off, cost is the number one most-asked question about Smile Direct Club. All-in, it is anywhere from $1,895 to $2,339. That's a fraction of the cost of other clear braces providers like Invisalign, whose costs average from $3,000 to $8,000.

Customers who pay the entire cost upfront get the best deal of $1,895. But that's a lot of cash to splash out at once, so Smile Direct Club also offers a monthly payment plan. With a $250 down payment and 24 monthly payments of $85, customers can still walk away with a straighter smile for as little as $2,290.

Smile Direct Club Makes the Process Easy

It's a simple two-step process: have impressions of your teeth made at home or in a SmileShop and then wear your custom-made clear aligners. You'll be partnered with a licensed dentist along the way who will check in with you virtually and answer any questions. If you wear your aligners on schedule, you can expect to have a new, straighter in about 20 weeks. 

The entire process is designed to be convenient for customers—no doctors visits and no waiting around for new shipments of aligners. Every step can be done virtually, from ordering your kit to make impressions of your teeth at home to checking in with your licensed dentist.

How to Save Money on Smile Direct Club

The partnership with Groupon Coupons makes it really simple. The at-home impression starter kit typically costs $49, but with promo code GROUPON100, it's just $24.50 and you'll also get a $100 credit toward the cost of the aligners.

To save even that cost, you can visit any SmileShop location for a FREE 3D image of your teeth. Customers who choose this route in June, will get a $25 Amazon gift card and $100 credit toward the cost of their aligners with promo code JUNEDEALS.

Bonus Teeth Whitening

A straighter smile isn't the only thing Smile Direct Club can help you with. The clear braces program also includes a teeth-whitening system for no extra cost.

Will Smile Direct Club Work for Me?

The clear braces system isn't ideal for everyone; it is designed for those with relatively basic alignment problems. To find out if it's an option for you, take the free 30-second online evaluation, order an at-home kit, or visit a SmileShop location. 

Are there Any Hidden Costs with Smile Direct Club?

There are no hidden costs, as the process is very straightforward. Customers will have to pay for any lost or broken aligners along the way and are encouraged to purchase a $99 set of retainers at the end of their orthodontic adventure. This final set of clear teeth tethers helps protect your investment and keeps teeth from shifting any more.

Does Smile Direct Club Take Insurance?

It sure does! Everyone's insurance is different though, so take a peek at this insurance info to see if your plan qualifies.
