Review - AlignerCo

Summary

AlignerCo are relative newcomers to the clear aligner industry. Since their launch, they’ve positioned themselves as one of the most affordable products on the market.
‍

AlignerCo was founded in 2019 in New York. Unlike many other brands in the clear aligner space, they don’t have a company story or information about their links to dentistry. Their focus is very much on their price, which is often significantly cheaper than competitors.

Pros

• Lowest price brand on the market right now.
• Monthly payment options without a down payment.
• Low-cost impression kits delivered to your door.

Cons

• No clinics, meaning the only way to speak with a specialist is via video call.
• Monthly repayment options are higher than with competitors.
• Treatments take longer than some rival brands.

Eligibility

As with similar companies, AlignerCo only offers its product to patients with minor dental issues. So, those with mild overcrowding or small spacing issues will likely be eligible for these aligners. However, those with more significant issues won’t be able to use AlignerCo products.

Getting Started

The ‘free assessment’ is a simple questionnaire on their website. If you pass this, you can get your hands on an impression kit in the mail. Once you’ve sent your teeth impressions back, it usually takes a few weeks for them to assess your needs and create a personalized plan.

Treatment

There are two treatment options available with AlignerCo – all-day aligners, and night-time only aligners. According to their website, the average treatment time is between 6 and 11 months. The exact amount of time your treatment takes will depend on the extent of your dental issues.

Support

The level of customer service from AligernCo is quite good. Their website has a variety of contact methods you can access, including a live chat. AlignerCo follows what they call their ‘Smile Guarantee.’ At the end of your treatment, if you aren’t happy with the results, you may be eligible for additional aligners.

The price point of the AlignerCo product is what makes it stand out from the crowd. It’s several hundred dollars cheaper than the big names out there. If the price is your motivating factor, then it’s definitely worth having a look at AlignerCo.
