SmileDirectClub, Orthodontics Company, Abruptly Closes Doors

Smile Direct Club, a dentistry company known for selling clear aligners remotely, has shut down after filing for bankruptcy. The firm, which offered aligners at a lower price point without the need for in-person consultations, faced financial difficulties and debt. Customers are now left confused and stranded, as the company's customer support line is no longer available. The company recommends that customers seek treatment from local dentists and has stated that the "lifetime smile guarantee" is no longer valid. Refunds and next steps will be determined during the bankruptcy process.
