SmileDirectClub expanding CarePlus plan in the U.S.

SmileDirectClub’s premium clear aligner offering, CarePlus, will be available at SmileShops in the U.S. and select partner network locations in August.

CarePlus includes access to a local dentist or orthodontist for in-person check-ins, access to an all-day, every day concierge customer care team, expedited aligner shipping, and enhanced scalloped-edge aligners and retainers.

The company decided to expand the offering after piloting CarePlus in four markets in the U.S. When paid in full, CarePlus costs $3,900. If a person uses the company’s SmilePay option, the cost is $115 per month.
