Smileie
Author: Kaitlyn Short
Smileie is a direct-to-consumer clear aligner company that lets customers straighten their teeth from home. After starting with an at-home impression kit or an in-person scan, a 3D treatment plan is created and reviewed by a licensed U.S. orthodontist before custom aligners are manufactured and shipped. Smileie offers both day-time aligners worn throughout the day and night-time aligners worn while sleeping, in single-arch or dual-arch plans.
Smileie’s approach pairs affordable, at-home convenience with orthodontist oversight and a customer portal for tracking progress. Every treatment includes free retainers and a whitening kit, free shipping within the USA, and a 100% result guarantee—a full refund if a customer is found not to be a suitable candidate.

Smileie Clear Aligner Plans
Smileie offers clear aligners in flexible options to suit different needs and budgets:
- Day-Time Aligners — worn throughout the day for faster results
- Night-Time Aligners — worn primarily while sleeping for added discretion
- Single-arch (one row of teeth) or dual-arch (both upper and lower) plans
Treatment typically takes around four to eight months depending on the plan and the customer’s needs.
Free Retainers, Whitening & Add-Ons
Every aligner treatment includes two free retainers to help maintain results and a free teeth-whitening kit. Smileie also sells standalone retainers and impression kits for customers who need them.
How the Process Works
The process is designed to be simple and largely remote:
- Order an at-home impression kit or book an in-person scan
- Take impressions and return them with the prepaid label
- Smileie’s team builds a 3D treatment plan, reviewed by a licensed orthodontist
- Approve the plan, then receive custom aligners at home
A customer portal lets users track their progress throughout treatment.
Pricing, Financing & Guarantee
Smileie positions its aligners as an affordable alternative to braces and in-office treatment, with monthly installment financing available and HSA/FSA cards accepted. Treatment is backed by a 100% result guarantee that offers a full refund if a customer is determined not to be a good candidate.
Orthodontist-Supervised Treatment
Although treatment happens at home, every Smileie plan is reviewed by a licensed U.S. orthodontist, and the company highlights the dentists and orthodontists behind its treatment planning. Smileie serves customers across the USA and in several international markets, including Canada, the UK, Italy, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Bad
- Best for Mild to Moderate Cases
- Weekday Support Hours
Best for Mild to Moderate Cases
As with most at-home clear aligner programs, Smileie is best suited to mild and moderate alignment issues. Customers with complex orthodontic needs may require in-office care, and suitability is confirmed during the treatment-planning review.
Weekday Support Hours
Smileie’s phone support is available on weekdays during business hours (Central time) rather than around the clock, so customers who need help on evenings or weekends may have to wait until the next business day.
The Bottom Line
Smileie is an at-home clear aligner company that combines affordable, convenient treatment with licensed-orthodontist oversight. With day-time and night-time aligners, single- and dual-arch plans, included retainers and whitening, financing options, and a 100% result guarantee, it offers a well-rounded remote alternative to braces. The company serves customers across the USA and in several international markets.
