February 18 2020 - 9:55AM
Following the Florida Board of Dentistry’s decision on January 10,
2020 to close its investigation into SmileDirectClub’s business
model, SmileDirectClub, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDC) issues the following
statement from Susan Greenspon Rammelt, SmileDirectClub Chief Legal
Officer and EVP of Business Affairs:
“We are pleased that the Florida Board of Dentistry has rejected
and closed the American Association of Orthodontists’ complaint
against SmileDirectClub, verifying that SmileDirectClub is
operating in full compliance with Florida law and is not engaged in
the corporate practice of dentistry through its operation of
SmileShops or marketing activities. Our company seeks to cooperate
with and provide information to state dental boards to educate
their members as to how our teledentistry platform works and
demonstrate that it is the state-licensed dentists who are
responsible for all aspects of clinical care. It is great to have
the support of dental boards like the State of Florida Dental
Board, who welcome the access to care that today’s technology and
our platform creates.”
SmileDirectClub is a dental service organization (“DSO”) that
provides marketing and administrative support services and a
teledentistry platform to state-licensed dentists and
orthodontists. SmileDirectClub and its affiliated network of
doctors take regulatory compliance seriously. SmileDirectClub’s
affiliated doctors are subject to and compliant with the standards
of care required in each of the states or countries where
SmileDirectClub’s teledentistry platform is available.
