The company’s electric toothbrush with interchangeable aligner head and a trackable aligner case are part of the company’s suite of oral care products launched in January.

SmileDirectClub recently announced that the United States Patent & Trademark Office (”USPTO”) has granted patents on its electric toothbrush with interchangeable aligner head and its trackable aligner case.

The company launched its suite of oral care products in Walmart stores across the U.S. in January. According to a Nielsen report, the SmileDirectClub Electric Toothbrush is the second-highest growth contributor by a manufacturer in the Electric Brush segment, and was named one of the best toothbrushes of 2020 by Cosmopolitan.

The electric toothbrush patent recognizes the design of the toothbrush’s interchangeable aligner heads for cleaning invisible aligners, and the patent for the Bluetooth-powered SmileDirectClub aligner case – powered by Tile – protects the use of location technology to ensure aligners are never lost.
