What Happened to Wondersmile Australia?
After its inception in 2018, Wondersmile’s popularity soared. Their customer base saw steady growth and their ratings on TrustPilot and other sites were some of the highest in the industry. But things took a turn in January 2022, when customers started reporting issues like low-quality aligners, poor customer service, and shipments that supposedly got lost in the mail.
For months, Wondersmile halted their operations and their communication channels went dark. Now, they’ve resurfaced as “Dr. Wondersmile,” claiming to have new management and a new team. But many customers are still wondering if they’ll ever get their aligners, retainers, or refund. So, what happened to Dr. Wondersmile Australia? That’s what we’re here to discuss.
If you’re considering using Dr. Wondersmile to straighten your teeth, we suggest you look into other providers. Check out our comparison review of the best at-home clear aligner services in Australia for an in-depth analysis of your options.
SmartSmileCo Australia Review: Quality Aligners on a Budget?
Many adults want orthodontic treatment, but the cost or inconvenience holds them back. At-home aligners address these concerns, but not everyone can use them, leaving adults needing affordable treatment for moderate-to-severe misalignments without an option.
SmartSmileCo takes a unique approach to their treatment; rather than all remote or all in-person, they tailor your treatment to your needs. If your case is mild or moderate, you get convenient remote treatment. If your case is complex, you get affordable in-person care. Here’s a quick review of this Australian clear aligner service, with the facts you need to decide if it is right for your smile.

Today, there are numerous options, including SmileDirectClub. As the first major at-home clear aligner company, SmileDirectClub made orthodontic treatment more accessible for customers. While similar, you’ll find some significant differences between Invisalign and SDC, which we’ll outline in this guide.

SmileDirectClub Nighttime Aligners: Too Good to Be True?
Clear aligners are pretty much as convenient as orthodontic treatment gets. Still, wearing aligners all day takes some work. You need to take them out for every meal and any drinks besides plain water. Then you have to clean your teeth, and potentially the aligners as well, before putting them back in.
If that sounds like a pain, there is an alternative to the standard 22 hours of daily wear: nighttime aligners. Not all companies offer this option, but SmileDirectClub does. With their nighttime-only system, you wear your aligners for ten continuous hours each night. It might extend your overall treatment time, but you’ll achieve the same results.
Can you really get the same results in fewer hours each day? And could SmileDirectClub’s Nighttime Aligners be the right choice for you? Let’s find out.
