Smile Direct Club Launches Solution For Clear Aligner Patients Ready To Switch To Its Telehealth Platform
May 21 2020 - 9:36AM
SmileDirectClub, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDC) the first direct-to-consumer
telehealth platform for teeth straightening today announced the
introduction of ContinuedCare, a new offering for US-based
consumers whose clear aligner therapy treatment has been
interrupted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With dental
office closures for non-emergency procedures and economic impacts
to some aligner providers during the pandemic, many clear aligner
patients have been unable to receive the aligners, mid-course
corrections or retainers they need to complete or maintain their
treatment. SmileDirectClub’s ContinuedCare program will help these
consumers resume treatment.
ContinuedCare patients will be able to complete
treatment using SmileDirectClub’s pioneering teledentistry platform
and affiliated network of 250+ board-certified dentists and
orthodontists. With ContinuedCare, qualified individuals currently
in clear aligner therapy with another provider may become
SmileDirectClub Club Members at a reduced cost of $895 (Single Pay)
or a convenient monthly payment plan of a $250 down payment and $58
per month for 12 months (SmilePay™). The program includes an
updated set of doctor-prescribed, custom clear aligners and premium
teeth whitening.
“Telehealth has become more important than ever for
continuity of care during this pandemic. As many patients find
their treatment on hold due to interrupted supply or
government-mandated closures, ContinuedCare offers an option for
those currently in clear aligner treatment to continue to
straighten their teeth safely and remotely during the pandemic,”
said Dr. Jeffrey Sulitzer, SmileDirectClub Chief Clinical Officer.
“Expanding our telehealth platform to help these consumers get the
smile they’ve always wanted safely and effectively furthers
SmileDirectClub’s mission of making premium oral care more
accessible.”
SmileDirectClub’s board-certified dentists and
orthodontists will deliver the ContinuedCare treatment plans after
reviewing the patient’s current patient records and assessing a 3D
image of the patient’s teeth via either a free, easy-to-use at home
impression kit ($49 value) or an in-person scan at a SmileShop.
