Affordable Impression Kit

AlignerCo has a cheaper impression kit than most of the leading invisible braces brands (that charge close to $100). AlignerCo's impression kit is priced at $49.99, making it one of the most affordable kits on the market. Purchasing and completing the impression kit is the first step of the treatment process.

Video Call Available

AlignerCo allows customers to schedule a video call with one of its smile specialists for free if additional guidance is needed when completing the teeth impressions. The company has a form on its website where you can request the video call — a unique offering that not many other invisible braces companies provide.

Though this option isn't quite the same as meeting with an orthodontist to fit braces, the company still seeks to provide great customer service for a product that is completed at home. It's essential that each retainer fit well, so it's nice that the company can provide help with the initial dental impression kit and help each patient have the best experience possible.

Three Payment Options

AlignerCo has three payment options you can choose from:

• Smile Advantage plan (one-time payment)
• SmileFlex plan (12-month payment plan)  
• SmileFlex Easy plan (6-month payment plan)

The first payment plan is AlignerCo's Smile Advantage plan, which is a one-time, upfront payment of $1,145. This plan requires no down payment and will be a one-time payment you never have to make again. 

For the other two plans, AlignerCo offers two different installment options: 

The Smile Flex plan requires 12 monthly payments starting at $81 with no down payment.

The Smile Flex Easy plan schedules six monthly payments of $175 with a $275 down payment (totaling $1,320, and all major payment forms are accepted).

Affordable Products and Add-Ons

Typically, invisible braces providers will offer multiple payment options, one being a monthly installment plan and the other being a one-time upfront payment. AlignerCo's one-time upfront payment is cheaper than many of its competitors. Below is a list of the current AlignerCo products and add-ons: 

SmileAdvantage ($1,145 for one-time payment) 

SmileAdvantage is the most popular plan at AlignerCo. This treatment plan requires that you wear your AlignerCo aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. Treatment plans last four to six months depending on the initial placement of your teeth. 

Customers can pay for SmileAdvantage with a one-time payment of $1,145. The company also offers alternative financing options with an 6-month or 12-month payment plan. The 6-month payment plan requires a $275 down payment. You’ll end up paying about $200 more if you choose a financing option, but this might be worth it for individuals who want to spread out the cost. 

AlignerCo is one of the few invisible teeth-aligner companies to offer treatment plans for teens. Teens receive the same treatment plan as adults. Individuals must be 13 years or older to qualify for treatment. 

NightAdvantage ($1,345 for one-time payment) 

NightAdvantage is an alternative treatment option for customers who only want to wear AlignerCo aligners at night. This treatment plan requires that you wear your night aligners for 8 to 10 hours per day. Since you won’t be wearing your aligners all day, your treatment length may be closer to six to eight months. 

The NightAdvantage is a great option for individuals who don’t want to worry about keeping aligners clean after every meal and replacing aligners throughout the day. 

Nighttime aligners are a little more expensive than daytime aligners. The one-time payment costs $1,345. However, the financing options for NightAdvantage end up costing around the same amount as the SmileAdvantge plan.

Worryfree Protection ($599)

The Worryfree Protection plan includes six years of retainers. You’ll receive a new set of retainers every six months for six years. You can also ask for a new set of retainers if you lose your current set. This can help you save on the cost of post-treatment retainers. 

Teeth Whitening Kit ($49.99) 

AlignerCo sells its own teeth whitening kit that is often provided for free with the purchase of an aligner kit. The teeth whitening kit should be used for 20 to 25 minutes per day for the best results. The kit includes three whitening gel dispensers, an LED light, and a mouth tray. 

Note: The teeth whitening kit should not be used during pregnancy. 

Retainers ($199) 

AlignerCo retainers can be purchased online for $199 per set. AlignerCo has one of the more expensive retainer prices. However, you can save money by ordering 10 sets of retainers in 1 order. Just add 9 sets of retainers for $49 each along with the initial set. Retainers should last up to 12 months with proper maintenance. 

100% Smile Guarantee

Not everyone is eligible for a straighter smile with clear braces. For certain bite issues or severe teeth misalignment, traditional braces through a dentist or orthodontist are often necessary. If you purchase an impression kit from AlignerCo and are not a good candidate for its invisible braces, the company will refund 100 percent of your money.

On the other hand, if you go through the clear aligner treatment following all guidelines and aren't happy with the results, the AlignerCo team will reevaluate your smile results. If your reevaluation is approved, AlignerCo may give you additional aligners to make any necessary corrections. If you don't qualify for additional invisible aligners but would still like straighter teeth for any reason, you may request a refinement for $200.

Accepts HSA and FSA

AlignerCo allows customers to pay for treatment with their Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account. If you don't currently have the physical card for either of these accounts, AlignerCo will give you a receipt for reimbursement. You can also use two payment methods if you don't have enough money solely in your FSA or HSA account to pay for aligner treatment.

Refer-a-Friend Promotion and Other Discounts

IAlignerCo offers a referral program for those who would like to earn money by referring family and friends. If your referral purchases an AlignerCo plan, you will receive $100 in cash and your friend will get $100 off the Smile Advantage plan. A customer will have their own invitation link to send to a friend, and when that friend buys directly from that link, they will receive the discount.

AlignerCo offers a military discount for active and retired veterans. Military personnel can get an additional $50 off any current promotion. Individuals must email the AlignerCo support team to receive these discounts. Teens can also get a $50 discount in addition to any other ongoing promotion. 

The company has routine promotions that help you save on invisible aligners. You can find online coupons on the website under “Coupons & Discounts.” Some of these promotions can help you save hundreds on aligner treatment. Treatment plans also come with an AlignerCo coupon code for free teeth whitening. 

Positive Customer Reviews

AlignerCo averages 4+ stars with over 30 reviews on Best Company. Within the small sample of reviews, customers expressed satisfaction with the pricing, customer service, aligner fit, overall treatment process, and end results. Customers should also note the themes in the negative reviews, which include issues with delivery, instructions, and aligner comfort. 

Below is a positive review highlighting an AlignerCo customer experience:

• Lengthy Treatment Time

Lengthy Treatment Time

AlignerCo has a lengthier treatment time than most of its competitors. One of the top invisible braces providers, byte, has an average treatment time of 4 to 5 months, while the average AlignerCo treatment time ranges from 6 to 11 months. Though this time is longer than some other competitors, it's still a shorter average treatment time than traditional braces.

Customers can also choose the NightOnly Clear Aligners plan and wear aligners for 8 to 10 hours per day. This method increases the treatment time to 8 to 12 months.
