- Special financial assistance: Recognizing the financial strain of unexpected treatment changes, OrthoFX offers special financing options and flexible payment plans to assist SmileDirectClub patients in affording their new treatment.
- Dedicated support team: OrthoFX has assembled a dedicated support team specifically trained to address the unique needs and concerns of SmileDirectClub patients, ensuring a seamless transition to OrthoFX's system.

“It’s unacceptable and medically negligent that SmileDirectClub put patients in this situation,” says Dr Neil Warshawsky (Orthodontist, Chicago). “This situation highlights the risks associated with remote dental care, and alongside our partners at OrthoFX, we are here to support customers who’ve been left behind.”
OrthoFX is making its service available to SmileDirectClub’s patients through its national network of doctors that specialize in delivering high-quality care. Powered by polymer science and AI software innovations, OrthoFX blends in-person and remote care seamlessly to provide patients with a superior treatment experience.
“We believe that these unforeseen circumstances should not compromise access to quality and ethical, clear aligner therapy,” says Ren Menon Co-Founder of OrthoFX. “We are committed to supporting SmileDirectClub patients during this difficult time and helping them navigate the uncertainty surrounding their treatment. If you are a SmileDirectClub patient who needs an alternate solution that is led by a Doctor, we’re happy to help. Contact us at orthofx.com/SDC.”
