$1000 later and a slightly less crooked tooth
After about a thousand dollars, these didn't really fix the minor issue I bought them for. They wanted to charge me another $200-400 for "refinement treatment" but I just can't give this company more of my money. The reason someone chooses the cheapest online aligner company out there vs an actual human orthodontist is because they don't want to keep going back for expensive treatment. Their written materials and customer service have strange grammar and seem poorly translated. It makes following instructions and communicating about issues difficult. The process of taking impressions was confusing, uncomfortable, and when I sent them my photos they threatened if the next time I did it wrong I'd have to pay for a new impressions kit. I think they get away with being the cheapest on the market up front by charging for other surprise things along the way. I already had braces when I was a teen, but one tooth became crooked again over time. It was just that one crooked tooth I wanted to fix, and after following the treatment, it's still crooked, just a little bit less. I reached out, thinking it was a simple adjustment included in the price they advertise and already pay, but was told I had to pay $200 more (would have been $400 if they thought it was my fault, which seems subjective and tricky). While technically I signed a contract agreeing to this, this isn't clearly explained on their website, and I'm pretty sure I signed it AFTER I sent them $1000. I think the company makes their money by penny pinching. Their customer service will respond to you, but they won't really offer solutions that don't cost you more money. And I think their promotional materials are misleading. When you read their website you think, "I will have straight teeth after ___ time and $___ " but that's not true. I think I'm just going to live with this slightly less crooked tooth.
