SmileDirectClub is shutting down. Where does that leave its customers? (apnews.com)

Just months after filing for bankruptcy, SmileDirectClub announced it was shutting down its global operations and halting its teeth-aligner treatments.

That leaves existing SmileDirectClub customers with a lot of questions and few available answers. The company is offering no more customer care support and few details about possible refunds are available yet. Multiple dental organizations and orthodontists also caution patients about safety concerns arising from “direct-to-consumer” dentistry.

So I'm on week 6 of a 6 month adjustment. So I'm going to have to stop as I'll no longer be able to get retainers at the end and I'm fucked out of 4k. Fantastic.

I'm gonna guess they'll just need to get a new dentist.

They're probably fucked. Plain and simple.
