SmileDirectClub was an online dentistry company based in Nashville, Tennessee. It started in 2014 and went bankrupt in 2023. It made 3D-printed clear aligners for straightening teeth. They were sold in the United Kingdom for about £1,800 without the need to visit a dentist. It never made a profit and had nearly $900m worth of debt when it closed.[3]
