If you are a former Smile Direct Club (SDC) patient, you may be aware that SDC has officially ceased operating in the UK, and around the world, with immediate effect.
mydentist is not affiliated with SDC in any way, but we understand that this decision will have left thousands of patients in the UK deeply concerned about their oral health and what they should do next. While we cannot advise on the legal process or how you can seek a refund from SDC, we would like to do whatever we can to offer guidance to patients on the clinical options available to them.
FAQs - Smile Direct Club Patients
Does mydentist offer clear aligner treatment?
Yes, mydentist does offer a range of teeth straightening solutions, from clear aligners to traditional braces. Our practice teams would be more than happy to walk you through some of the options available to you, either in person or on a quick phone call. Find your nearest mydentist practice today. Alternatively, you can browse our treatment offering on our website.
Can I continue my Smile Direct Club treatment with mydentist?
The first step is to book in an examination with a clinician who can talk you through the options available to you.
Unfortunately, it is unlikely that you will be able to continue with your existing Smile Direct Club treatment plan with a mydentist dentist, as clinicians are, in most cases, unable to take on patients who are midway through treatment with another dental care provider.
This means that most patients who are affected by the news regarding Smile Direct Club will need to have their treatment options individually assessed by a new dentist to find a plan that will help them achieve their desired results. This may mean having to finance another round of treatment if they wish to resume their teeth straightening journey.
How much would clear aligner treatment at mydentist cost?
At mydentist, we offer a range of competitive prices and finance solutions to ensure you can experience the benefits of appropriate, professional dental care.
We believe that teeth straightening is a complicated process which should be clinically led and carefully monitored – as such, many of our treatments require visits to practice and the hands-on care of one of our skilled clinicians. The benefit of this is that your treatment plan is closely monitored, and your appointments will be included in your costed treatment plan.
For an accurate estimate of what your teeth straightening treatment may cost, and the full scope of benefits you gain from trusting your local mydentist practice with your treatment, please contact a member of our team today.
