SmileDirectClub Consumers to Benefit from FTC Complaint and Proposed Consent Order in Alabama
September 29 2021 - 7:00AM
SmileDirectClub, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDC), a next generation oral care
company with the first medtech platform for teeth straightening,
today announced its gratitude to the Federal Trade Commision (FTC)
for its actions to combat anti-competitive conduct in Alabama. The
proposed Consent Order will ensure that consumers in Alabama will
have access to efficacious and cost effective clear aligner therapy
treatment using the innovative SmileDirectClub telehealth platform.
Under the proposed Consent Order, the Alabama Board of Dental
Examiners can no longer impede clear aligner platforms, or dental
professionals affiliated with them, from providing clear aligner
therapy through remote treatment, protecting consumer choice and
access to care against the exclusionary attempts of a market
participant driven board.
SmileDirectCub, issued the following statement from Susan
Greenspon Rammelt, the Company’s Chief Legal Officer and EVP of
Business Affairs:
“SmileDirectClub is grateful for the actions of the FTC to
preserve competition and we are pleased that the FTC’s proposed
Consent Order will allow the Company to expand freely in the state
of Alabama and further our mission of democratizing access to
premium, affordable, safe and effective oral care. We will continue
to work with and educate dental boards and associations across the
country on the many benefits of our telehealth platform that has
already helped more than 1.5 million people worldwide get a smile
that they love.”
