Pt was "approved" for clear aligners through smile direct club, although she was not a candidate for this product.This product is not designed for severe malocclusion, she was led to believe that she was a candidate.Pt came to my practice so that i can "fix" the damage that has occurred, and hopefully, she will not have permanent damage with her occlusion / bite.Pts pre-orthodontic diagnosis was class iii openbite with maxillary and mandibular crowding.She finished her clear aligners with straight teeth, but with a much more severe openbite and unesthetic extruded mandibular canines.Pt was unable to bite properly.Smile direct club: (b)(6) 2018 - (b)(6) 2018.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
