AlignerCo is an invisible aligner company in New York that works with customers around the United States who want straighter teeth without the hassle of physical appointments. They offer fully customized teeth-straightening plans designed specifically by a team of experts to help each customer get the smile they want in the least amount of time.

A Good Candidate

A good candidate for AlignerCo invisible aligners needs straightening that would fall into either the mild or moderate category. You should not have had a dental implant within the past three months and should not play high-impact sports. And if you need your wisdom teeth removed, that should be done before treatment starts. Aligners are BPA-free and considered generally safe during pregnancy. By sticking with the AlignerCo at home program as prescribed, you can get results quickly and smile confidently.

100% Online Treatment

Because there are no wires that can break or brackets that can separate, you can align your teeth with AlignerCo without setting foot in a clinic or office. A team of teeth alignment experts manages everything through AlignerCo's advanced online system.

To get started, you request an at-home impressions kit. Simply follow the included instructions to take your impressions. Then send it back to AlignerCo. Their licensed and experienced orthodontist analyzes your impression and creates a custom plan to achieve a beautiful smile. You'll receive a set of aligners that will progress from where you are now to the perfect smile. These aligners put precise pressure on your teeth to slowly move them into place. Every two weeks, you'll move to the next aligner in the series, getting one step closer to that final aligner and the end of your teeth straightening journey.

For straightening, you'll have two primary options:

• Daytime invisible aligners
• Nighttime Only clear invisible aligners

If you have more significant straightening to be done, the Nighttime option may not be the right option for you. The AlignerCo orthodontist will determine this when they review your impression and may advise you to choose the Daytime option. The experts at AlignerCo will not create a Nighttime plan for you if they do not determine you're a good candidate for it.

Getting Results

• Daytime invisible aligners are worn for 20-22 hours a day
• Nighttime Only Clear invisible aligners are worn 8-10 hours a day

You will begin noticing a difference within as little as a few weeks. If you choose Daytime aligners, it takes 6-12 months on average to achieve your end result. If you choose the Nighttime aligners, your treatment plan will be longer than a Daytime plan, but if you're a good candidate for Nighttime aligners, then you can likely achieve your smile within this timeframe since you need milder straightening.

The reason nighttime takes longer is that you're wearing them for about half the time each day.

If you wear your aligner for the prescribed amount of time each day, then you'll move to the next aligner in the sequence every two weeks. If you do not stick with the prescribed plan, your teeth may move back toward their original position, unnecessarily delaying your progress.

Support When You Need It

AlignerCo offers a video chat with a smile specialist as a free support service for anyone struggling with the impression kit. You can request a video call appointment through their easy online form.

Live Chat is available 24/7, so you can get immediate assistance with a real person. If you prefer email, they also give you an email option that is monitored regularly as well as a phone option.

The Costs of Treatment

AlignerCo offers several ways to pay. Treatment costs vary depending on your payment plan choice.

For the Daytime Aligner option, you would pay:

For the Nighttime option, you would pay:

This is around 66% less than you'd pay with traditional metal braces. Impression kit costs are not included. However, if AlignerCo's orthodontist decides you're not a good candidate, they will give you a full refund. A retainer is strongly recommended after completion of the straightening process to maintain your smile.

Your insurance may pay for some of your treatment. AlignerCo will help you explore your benefits to determine this. You may also be able to use funds from your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).

Making an Appointment

To get started, you simply pay for your at-home impression kit. This process is so easy that you can do everything online and will only need to schedule an appointment if you need support from the smile specialists or the AlignerCo orthodontist.
