SmileDirectClub's Closure Leaves Customers in Limbo

SmileDirectClub, the company that sold clear dental aligners directly to consumers, has announced the shutdown of its global operations and halted its teeth-aligner treatments. Existing customers are left with unanswered questions and limited support. The company is not providing customer care and details about possible refunds are scarce. Dental organizations and orthodontists have raised safety concerns about "direct-to-consumer" dentistry. SmileDirectClub filed for bankruptcy in September 2022 and was unable to find a partner to keep the company afloat. Existing customers are advised to consult their local dentist or orthodontist for further treatments. It is uncertain if customers will receive compensation, and those who signed up or made payments after the bankruptcy filing may be prioritized. Dental associations caution against direct-to-consumer aligners, emphasizing the importance of professional supervision and monitoring for proper oral care.

SmileDirectClub Abruptly Closes Doors, Leaving Customers in Limbo

SmileDirectClub, the mail-based orthodontics services company, has announced the immediate winding down of its global operations after failing to find investors. This news is likely to be unwelcome for customers who will still have to make payments despite no longer being able to receive aligners or customer care. The company has canceled its lifetime guarantee and all outstanding orders for aligners, but customers on the SmileyPay Plan are still expected to make monthly payments. Refunds and next steps for customers will be determined during the bankruptcy process. SmileDirectClub, which went public in 2019, faced criticism from dentists and orthodontists for its practices, and as a publicly traded company, it never turned a profit and accumulated significant debt.
