Narratives
Description of Event or Problem · 1
I STARTED USING SMILE DIRECT CLUB'S ALIGNERS ON (B)(6) 2019. THEY CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO RE-SCAN MY TEETH AND SEND MORE ALIGNERS. THESE ALIGNERS LITERALLY DO NOT WORK - THEY HAVE NOT MOVED MY TEETH AT ALL. THESE ARE MEDICAL DEVICES AND I HAVEN'T SEEN OR SPOKEN TO A DENTIST OR ORTHODONTIST OVER THERE AT ALL. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL TALK TO ME ARE SALES. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE SHUTDOWN. THEY ARE SELLING A MEDICAL DEVICE WITHOUT THE PATIENT SEEING A REAL MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND ITS CAUSING HARM IN MULTIPLE WAYS. HOW IN THE WORLD ARE THEY ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THIS?. FDA SAFETY REPORT ID # (B)(4).
