Smileie: clear aligners with professional supervision

Smileie is an Australian company that sells clear dental aligners for adults and children. Its approach is based on a simple and relatively painless treatment that aligns teeth in a few months, under the supervision of experienced orthodontists. The company offers affordable prices and ships the treatment to your home in Australia.

How the treatment works

The process begins with an impression kit that the customer receives at home. It includes an impression guide and a return label to send the impression to Smileie. Once received, the company creates a 3D treatment plan for the customer to review and approve. After approval, the aligners are manufactured and shipped to the home. The average treatment lasts between 4 and 6 months, although results start to show within 6 to 8 weeks. At the end, wearing retainers is recommended to maintain the new smile.

Treatment options and prices

Smileie structures its offer into several modalities. Day-Time aligners are worn about 20 hours a day and have an average duration of 4 to 6 months. Night-Time aligners are used 10 hours a day and the treatment extends from 6 to 8 months. There is also a premium option, Smileie PRO, which includes intraoral scanning, physical review and consultation, professional whitening kit, dental monitoring device, free access to the Dental Monitor app, free refinement, interproximal reduction (IPR) when necessary, and two sets of retainers. The prices published on the website at the time of the analysis were: Day-Time Dual Arch for $1,656 (previously $1,856), with an installment payment option of $200 per month; Day-Time Single Arch for $937 (previously $1,137) or $160 per month; Night-Time Dual Arch for $1,456 (previously $1,656) or $260 per month; Night-Time Single Arch for $1,085 (previously $1,285) or $180 per month; Smileie PRO for $2,050 (previously $2,250). In addition, a protection plan with 10 sets of retainers was offered for $945.

What the service includes

The treatment price includes the impression kit, the 3D plan preview, the invisible aligners, two sets of retainers, whitening kit, free refinement and free shipping within Australia. The company also offers an initial impression kit for $99 for those who are still undecided. Customers have a patient portal with personal access to track their process, and 24/7 online support is offered.
