The American Dental Association scheduled two ads forThe New York Times and USA Today websites to clarify that the citizen petition submitted to the FDA against SmileDirectClub is still active, "contrary to SmileDirectClub's misstatements."
On Apr. 25, the ADA filed a citizen petition with the FDA, claiming SmileDirectClub put the public at risk by not complying with a "by prescription only" restriction on teeth-aligning materials. The ads are in response to SmileDirectClub's Oct. 4 news release that claimed the ADA's petition had been "shut down."
The ADA released a statement on their website Oct. 18 that "all substantive issues raised by the petition remain fully before the FDA at this time."
The New York Times ad was scheduled to run Oct. 21, and the USA Today ad is scheduled for Oct. 22.
