Smartee Denti-Technology's Insightful Participation at the 57th SIDO Congress

During the recent 57th International SIDO Congress, held from October 8 to 10, 2026, in Turin, Italy, Smartee Denti-Technology made significant contributions to the field of orthodontics by discussing complex clinical cases, especially concerning the management of Class II malocclusions. The event brought together leading professionals to explore the evolving intersection of clinical practices, interdisciplinary collaboration, and digital technologies in orthodontics.

Understanding the Conference Themes

The theme of this year’s congress, "Beyond Alignment: Interdisciplinarity, Artificial Intelligence, and Clinical Expertise in Orthodontic Decision-Making," perfectly illustrated the ongoing transformation within the profession. This year's agenda shifted focus from simply correcting dental alignments to integrating advanced digital tools and expertise across various fields in orthodontics.

Smartee seized the opportunity at this congress to delve into its clinical strategies, particularly those addressing challenging cases of malocclusion, and to facilitate discussions with Italian orthodontic experts.

Advances in Treating Complex Class II Cases

A major highlight for Smartee was a detailed presentation by Dr. Jingting Lu, titled "S8-SGTB: Correcting Severe Class II Jaw Discrepancy." In this presentation, Dr. Lu introduced a novel approach towards treating skeletal Class II malocclusion, particularly those associated with mandibular retrognathism, a condition that often leads to jaw discrepancies and a convex facial profile.

In his talk, Dr. Lu discussed patient selection, assessment of mandibular positioning, and treatment planning. He elaborated on the integration of S8-SGTB, a component of the innovative Smartee GS-System, which combines Mandibular Repositioning Technology with clear aligner treatment. According to Dr. Lu, this method not only focuses on tooth movement and occlusal management but also carefully considers the position of the mandible, which can lead to optimal treatment outcomes for appropriately selected patients.

The Importance of Interdisciplinary Approaches

Dr. Lu's presentation underscored a vital principle of the GS-System—evaluating the positional relationships of the mandible across sagittal, vertical, and transverse planes rather than being solely focused on dental positions. This comprehensive approach is essential for ensuring effective treatment strategies in complex Class II cases.

Commitment to the Italian Market

Smartee's involvement in the SIDO Congress also signifies its dedication to advancing the field in the Italian orthodontic market. By participating in scientific meetings, providing clinical education, and engaging directly with local orthodontists, Smartee aims to enhance professional exchanges and accurately address the clinical needs of practitioners in Italy.

The Italian market is poised to continue being a focal point for Smartee’s European scientific endeavors. Following the successful European Summit in 2026 held in Mallorca, which attracted nearly 300 orthodontic experts and clinicians from across 27 countries, Smartee is set to host its next European Summit in Rome in 2027.

Smartee’s ongoing participation in events like the SIDO Congress and the upcoming summit emphasizes its commitment to fostering clinical and scientific dialogue within the Italian orthodontic community.

In conclusion, Smartee Denti-Technology is not only reshaping the treatment of complex Class II malocclusions but is also playing a pivotal role in enhancing collaborative efforts within the orthodontic field, making significant strides towards integrating technology with clinical expertise.
