The founders of SmileDirectClub have committed to investing at least $20 million, and an additional $60 million in capital is available based on reaching certain conditions, according to a Sept. 29 news release from SmileDirectClub. 

To execute the transaction, the company has voluntarily filed for bankruptcy protection.

SmileDirectClub will continue to provide oral care to its customers without any disruption, the release said.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
