Medit Announces Global Orthodontic Division Following Strategic Acquisition of Progressive Orthodontics
Medit Corp., a recognized leader in digital dentistry solutions, has officially launched its global orthodontic division as a result of acquiring Progressive Orthodontics, a prominent clinical education provider based in Aliso Viejo, California. This strategic move is pivotal for Medit, marking its largest foray into the orthodontics field, where the integration of advanced digital scanning and software solutions meets a globally esteemed educational platform.
Han Ryu, the company’s CEO, stated, "This acquisition marks a defining moment for Medit. We are not merely entering the orthodontic space; we are committed to transforming it." The merger with Progressive Orthodontics is expected to leverage its legacy of clinical excellence and robust educational network in conjunction with Medit’s innovative software technologies, paving the way for a redefined global orthodontic care model.
The newly formed global orthodontic business division will act as the central hub for all Medit orthodontic products, services, and education initiatives. Supported by Medit’s advanced 3D scanning technology and AI-driven dental software platforms, this division aims to accelerate the adoption of fully digital workflows, enhancing treatment accuracy and operational efficiency while enriching the patient experience.
This comprehensive orthodontic portfolio includes the Medit Orthodontic Suite for treatment simulation and case planning, along with Medit Aligners, a complete solution for transparent orthodontics. The current offerings are available in the U.S., with plans for broader global availability. Progressive Orthodontics, which has been providing valuable clinical education for over 40 years, is recognized globally for its training programs that emphasize practical learning based on cases related to diagnostics, biomechanics, and treatment execution.
Under Medit’s ownership, the Progressive Orthodontics brand will continue to deliver top-tier seminars and training programs, while also expanding the SmileStream planning and hardware offerings. The educational content will gradually integrate with Medit’s digital solutions to create a more cohesive clinical and technological learning environment for practitioners.
The Medit USA office in Newport Beach will serve as the headquarters for the orthodontic care division, facilitating product development, clinical collaboration, and doctor education across America. “Joining the Medit family is a natural next chapter for Progressive Orthodontics,” said Miles McGann, CEO of Progressive Orthodontics. “For decades, we have been dedicated to elevating the art and science of orthodontics through education. With Medit's resources, technology, and global reach, we can extend this mission worldwide.”
The establishment of the global orthodontic division exemplifies Medit’s broader strategy to enhance its digital dentistry ecosystem by integrating clinical workflows beyond scanning hardware. By synergizing technologies, education, and physician networks, Medit positions itself to accelerate the acceptance of digital orthodontics and strengthen its competitive stance in the rapidly evolving global market.
