How Smileie Works
Smileie Treatment Plans
Smileie has three treatment options available. Here’s how they work:
Daytime:
-
Treatment Time: Four to six months on average, depending on alignment needs

Wear Time: 20 to 22 hours per day
- Most common plan for faster results and lower overall cost
Nighttime:
-
Treatment Time: Six to eight months on average, depending on alignment needs
-
Wear Time: Eight to 10 hours per day
- Slower and more expensive but great for anyone who prefers a more discreet option
Smileie Pro:
This is a new option offered by Smileie that offers in-person evaluations and consultations. If you live near their in-person center (currently only located in Flagstaff, Ariz.), and like the idea of a more hands-on, in-person experience, you may want to consider this plan. Here’s what it includes:
- In-person intra oral scans and X-rays
- Physical checkup and consultation
- Professional teeth whitening kit
- Dental monitoring service
- Free access to the dental monitor app
- Interproximal reduction where needed to prepare teeth for aligners
- Two sets of retainers
How to Get Started with Smileie
Smileie has made the entire process, from initial consultation and evaluation to the treatment plan itself, user-friendly and pain-free. Here’s what you can expect when getting started with Smileie:
Step 1: Smile Assessment
To get started, you’ll need to take Smileie’s 30-second survey on their website. Based on your answers, the Smileie team will determine if you’re a suitable candidate for aligners.
Step 2: Impression Kit
After you place your order, you’ll receive an at-home impression kit to create molds of your teeth. Smileie provides easy instructions to navigate this process. Once it’s complete, you’ll send the molds back to Smileie to develop your treatment plan.
Step 3: Custom Treatment Plan
Once Smileie receives your impressions, they’ll create a 3D model of your teeth and design a custom treatment plan. You’ll receive detailed information about how long your treatment will take and what results to expect. If everything looks good, you’ll approve your treatment plan and Smileie will start making your aligners.
Step 4: Aligners Delivery
Smileie has a fast turnaround time for aligner production, generally completing orders in about two to three weeks. Once your custom aligners have been manufactured, your first set will be shipped to you. As your teeth begin to move, you’ll receive new aligners to continue progressing your treatment plan. Typically, aligners are swapped out about every two weeks.
Step 5: Monitoring Progress
The Smileie team monitors your progress through regular virtual check-ins via the Smileie patient portal. As your teeth shift, you’ll continue to receive new aligners until your treatment plan is complete.
Step 6: Completion
Once you’ve finished your treatment plan, Smileie will provide instructions for post-treatment care, which may include retainers to maintain your new smile. Remember, your plan includes two free sets of retainers to help keep your results going strong.
