SmileDirectClub

SmileDirectClub was an American teledentistry company that provided clear aligner therapy for teeth straightening. The company aimed to make orthodontic care more accessible and affordable by offering at-home impression kits and 3D-printed clear aligners, eliminating the need for frequent in-person visits to a dentist or orthodontist.

SmileDirectClub was founded in 2014 by Alex Fenkell and Jordan Katzman, leveraging telehealth technology to connect customers with licensed dentists and orthodontists remotely. The company grew rapidly, expanding its services internationally and partnering with retail locations for in-person scans. SmileDirectClub went public in 2019 under the ticker.
