Welcome to the Snow v. Align Technology, Inc. Class Action Settlement Website.

A $31.75 million Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Align Technology, Inc. (“Align” or “Defendant”). Plaintiffs’ legal claims arise out of Align’s relationship with SmileDirectClub LLC and the sale of certain SmileDirectClub products to consumers. Plaintiffs allege that Align engaged in anticompetitive conduct, which resulted in Plaintiffs overpaying for certain SmileDirectClub products. Plaintiffs assert legal claims against Defendant for violation of the federal Sherman Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1. Align denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided whether Align did anything wrong.

Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. These rights and options — and the deadlines to exercise them — are explained in the notice. Please read the notice carefully.


Your Legal Rights and Options in This Lawsuit
Submit a Claim Form

Settlement Class Members who do not automatically receive cash payments may file a timely and valid Claim Form for a pro rata cash payment online, here, by October 27, 2025, or mailed to the Settlement Administrator at the address on the Claim Form, postmarked by October 27, 2025.

If you file a Claim, you will give up the right to sue the Defendant in a separate lawsuit about the legal claims or factual allegations this Settlement resolves.

Objection

Tell the Court why you do not like the Settlement. If you do not opt out of the Settlement, you may object to it by writing to the Court about why you do not like the Settlement. You may also ask the Court for permission to speak about your objection at the Final Approval Hearing. If you object, you may still file a Claim Form for a pro rata cash payment.

If you wish to file an objection, review the Notice here for instructions on what information you should include and how to submit your Objection.

Exclude Yourself

Get out of this lawsuit. Get no benefits from it. Keep your legal rights. The Court may exclude you if you request exclusion. If you ask to be excluded, you cannot get money. But you will keep any right to sue Align and the Released Parties separately about the legal claims in this lawsuit. This is the only option that allows you to keep your right to sue Align and the Released Parties for legal claims that would otherwise be released by a settlement in the lawsuit, whether you think the Settlement is favorable to the Settlement Class or not.

If you wish to exclude yourself, review the Notice here for instructions on how to exclude yourself from the Settlement.

Do Nothing

Stay in this lawsuit. Maybe receive no compensation. Give up certain rights. By doing nothing, you will be bound by the Court’s judgment and orders regarding the Settlement. You may not receive money. Settlement Class Members with an automatic cash payment do not need to submit a Claim Form to receive their pro rata payment.


These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained further in the Long-Form Notice and on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page of this website. For complete details, please see the Settlement Agreement, which is available here.
