Canada, today announced the launch of the brand’s
signature SmileShop experience within select Walmart locations in

access to affordable teeth straightening
solutions.”

About SmileShops
SmileDirectClub’s SmileShops in
Walmart Canada, like the more than
350 SmileShop locations across the
U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom,
Ireland, Germany and Hong Kong, are staffed
by SmileGuides who provide customers with a
free 3D digital image of their teeth. The 3D images
and customer profile are uploaded onto a proprietary teledentistry
platform that
allows SmileDirectClub’s affiliated network of
Canada-registered dentists and orthodontists to remotely
review, prescribe and manage a custom clear aligner treatment
plan. SmileDirectClub’s clear aligner therapy is
doctor-directed, doctor-prescribed and doctor-managed from
start to finish of treatment and costs an average of 60% less
than traditional orthodontic treatments.
Since 2014, SmileDirectClub has helped
more than one million people achieve a straighter
smile. SmileDirectClub expanded into Canada in 2018 and now
has SmileShops located across five provinces. To learn more or
