SmileSet stories

I wanted a straighter smile — but I didn't want braces

For years, I thought fixing my smile meant metal brackets, monthly appointments, and a price tag I wasn't ready for. Then I found SmileSet.

The problem wasn't wanting a better smile. It was everything that came with getting one

I knew what bothered me. In photos, my teeth were the first thing I noticed. I smiled with my mouth closed more than I wanted to. And every time I thought about fixing it, I ran into the same blockers.

Braces felt like a huge commitment. The appointments. The metal. The cost. The idea of changing how I looked for months — maybe years — just to get to the smile I wanted.

So I kept putting it off.

"I didn't want my smile treatment to take over my life."

If you've been putting it off, you're not the only one

A lot of people want a straighter smile. What stops them is not the goal — it's the process they think they have to go through.

  • Too expensive

    Begin your journey without scheduling unnecessary office visits.

  • Too visible

    Metal brackets can make treatment feel like a bigger lifestyle change.

  • Too many appointments

    Monthly office visits can be hard to fit into real life.

  • Too overwhelming

    Starting treatment can feel complicated before you even know your options.

Exceptional customer service!

I haven’t received my SmileSet kit yet, but I already have to commend the customer service I’ve experienced so far! I had received a promotional discount code that unfortunately landed in my junk folder, so I didn’t see it until after I had already placed my order. I reached out to customer support, and without hesitation, they honored the discount and made the entire process completely seamless. I couldn’t have been happier with how they handled it. I’m really looking forward to gifting my wife her SmileSet, and I hope the rest of the experience is just as wonderful as the customer service has been so far!

Exceptional Customer Service

I've had such a great experience with Smile Set! The company is wonderful to work with, and I really appreciate how much they care about their customers and their overall experience. I especially want to recognize Arnie from customer service. From the very beginning, Arnie was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. You can tell when someone is simply doing their job versus when they truly care about making sure a customer has a good experience and Arnie definitely went above and beyond. She took the time to listen, answered all of my questions, and made what could have been a stressful situation feel easy and reassuring. I truly appreciated how responsive, understanding, and thoughtful she was throughout the process. She made me feel heard and valued as a customer, which is something that really stands out. Customer service like this makes such a difference. Arnie is a huge asset to Smile Set, and I hope the company knows how much her kindness and professionalism are appreciated. She genuinely made my experience better, and I’m so grateful for her help. Thank you, Arnie, for making my experience such a positive one!
