Customers take impressions at home, and the company says every plan is reviewed by a US-licensed dentist or orthodontist, with no in-person visit. It offers two plans: All-Day aligners, worn about 22 hours a day for roughly 4 to 6 months, and NightOnly aligners, worn about 10 hours a day for roughly 6 to 8 months. Outside the US, AlignerCo serves customers through separate country sites for Canada, Italy, Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. When we checked in September 2026 there was no UK site, and we couldn't confirm that it currently treats UK customers. Earlier claims of free worldwide shipping to the UK could not be verified. If you're in the UK, choose a clinician-supervised brand delivered by a GDC-registered dentist or orthodontist, such as Invisalign, Spark, SureSmile or ClearCorrect. ## Insurance Coverage in the UK UK dental insurance and cash-plan orthodontic benefit is generally written for treatment prescribed and supervised by a registered UK dentist or orthodontist in person. A US-based DTC model without a UK clinician of record may not meet that requirement — check the specific policy wording and confirm with your insurer before assuming cover applies. ## Financing & Payment Plans AlignerCo prices in US dollars on its US site and runs frequent promotions. In September 2026 it listed the All-Day plan at $725 and the NightOnly plan at $925 as one-off payments (both shown as discounted), plus a $29.99 impression kit, with monthly financing available in the US. There is no UK price, because there's no UK site. ## Best For: AlignerCo Suitability by Condition Underbite: Not recommended without clinician supervision. Underbite correction can involve significant bite change that benefits from in-person monitoring — the British Orthodontic Society advises against unsupervised aligner treatment for anything beyond the simplest cases. Overbite: Not recommended without clinician supervision. As with underbite, meaningful overbite correction is generally considered unsuitable for a fully remote, unsupervised model. Gaps / spacing: Mild cases only, with caution. Simple spacing is the case type most often marketed by DTC aligner brands, but even here the GDC and BOS recommend in-person assessment first to rule out gum disease or other issues a remote scan can miss. Crowding: Mild cases only, with caution. Mild crowding is sometimes marketed as DTC-suitable; moderate to severe crowding needs clinician assessment and is not appropriate for a remote-only model. Buck teeth / protrusion: Not recommended without clinician supervision. Protrusion correction typically needs attachments and monitoring that a fully remote model cannot provide safely. ## Suitability for Kids & Teens DTC aligner models generally aren't recommended for growing patients, since a still-developing dentition needs in-person clinical judgement that a remote model can't provide. ## Useful related pages [Compare all clear aligner brands](https://virtualconsultant.online/brands) [Best clear aligners UK: which suits your case](https://virtualconsultant.online/guides/best-clear-aligners-uk) [Invisalign & clear aligner insurance UK](https://virtualconsultant.online/insurance/invisalign-clear-aligner-insurance-uk) [Invisalign alternatives guide](https://virtualconsultant.online/guides/invisalign-alternatives) [Clear aligner payment plans](https://virtualconsultant.online/guides/clear-aligner-payment-plans) [Which UK dental practice groups offer this brand](https://virtualconsultant.online/dental-providers) Teeth straightening that is not supervised by a registered UK dental professional cannot include in-person monitoring, X-rays, or adjustment of your treatment if problems arise.

When we checked in September 2026, AlignerCo's US site linked to separate sites for Canada, several EU countries, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia, but not the UK. AlignerCo has no UK clinics. Even if an order could be shipped here, the treatment would be planned by US-licensed clinicians with no UK clinician of record. UK patients are better served by a GDC-registered dentist or orthodontist. How much does AlignerCo cost? On its US site in September 2026, AlignerCo listed its All-Day plan at $725 and its NightOnly plan at $925 as one-off payments, both shown as discounted, plus a $29.99 impression kit. Prices are in US dollars and change with promotions, and there's no UK price because there's no UK site. Any cross-border order could also face import charges. What's the difference between AlignerCo's All-Day and NightOnly plans? All-Day aligners are worn about 22 hours a day, and AlignerCo quotes roughly 4 to 6 months of treatment. NightOnly aligners are worn about 10 hours a day, mainly overnight, and it quotes roughly 6 to 8 months, because teeth are under pressure for fewer hours. Both are remote, at-home plans reviewed by US-licensed clinicians. Neither includes the in-person examination that UK guidance recommends before any aligner treatment. Is a direct-to-consumer aligner brand like AlignerCo safe? The British Orthodontic Society and General Dental Council have repeatedly warned against unsupervised mail-order aligner treatment, since it can't include in-person monitoring, X-rays, or adjustment if problems arise. Anyone considering a DTC brand should have an in-person dental check first. Explore your options Quick links Not sure where to start?
