What's the SmileDirectClub Align Technology Class Action Settlement?

If you purchased, paid, or reimbursed for SmileDirectClub aligners for personal use between October 22, 2017, and August 18, 2022, you may be owed between $40 and $60 in a new $31,750,000 SmileDirectClub and Align class action lawsuit. SmileDirectClub and Align Technology has settled a class action over allegations that it engaged in anticompetitive conduct, causing consumers to overpay for SmileDirectClub products. Align denies wrongdoing.

Why was the SmileDirectClub Class Action Lawsuit Filed??

This class action lawsuit was filed because Align Technology was accused of making a deal with SmileDirectClub that made it harder for other companies to compete in the teeth aligner market. The lawsuit claims this deal caused customers to pay more for SmileDirectClub products than they should have. Align says they did nothing wrong, but they agreed to pay a settlement instead of going to court.

SmileDirectClub aligners are clear plastic trays worn over teeth to straighten them at home, instead of using braces. SmileDirectClub worked by sending in impressions or scans of your teeth, and then sending a series of aligners in the mail to gradually move your teeth into place over a long period of time.

Align (short for Align Technology, Inc.) is a company best known for inventing and making Invisalign, the popular clear aligners used to straighten teeth. Align is a major player in the dental technology industry, providing products and software for orthodontists and dentists worldwide. They focus on clear aligners, 3D digital scanning, and other dental solutions. Some of their most products include the following:

• Align Technology - Invisalign Full
• Align Technology - Invisalign Lite
• Align Technology - Invisalign Express
• Align Technology - Invisalign Teen
• Align Technology - Invisalign First
• SmileDirectClub - Clear Aligners (Standard)
• SmileDirectClub - Nighttime Aligners

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The total settlement amount is $31.75 million.
