SmileDirectClub's Shutdown Leaves Users in Limbo
SmileDirectClub, the struggling teeth-straightening company, has announced the immediate shutdown of its global operations after filing for bankruptcy protection. Existing customers are left in limbo as aligner treatment and customer care support are no longer available. Customer orders that haven't shipped yet have been canceled, and the "Lifetime Smile Guarantee" is no longer valid. Smile Pay customers are still expected to make payments, causing confusion and frustration. The company, which once aimed to revolutionize the oral care industry, faced legal battles and financial difficulties, leading to its downfall.
