Several DSOs have begun offering discounted treatment opportunities for former patients of the now-defunct SmileDirectClub.
SmileDirectClub announced Dec. 8 it would be shutting down its global operations immediately after efforts to recapitalize the business failed. The company said it was unable to provide support to its existing customers but that more information about refunds would become available once next steps are determined. Patients under the company’s SmilePay Plan are still expected to continue their monthly payments until payment for their clear aligners has been made in full, according to an FAQ page.
