Medit Corp Expands Global Reach with New Orthodontic Division

Medit Corp, renowned for its innovative contributions to digital dentistry, recently announced the launch of its Global Orthodontic Business Division. This strategic move is fueled by the acquisition of Progressive Orthodontics, a notable provider of clinical education in the orthodontic field. This acquisition represents Medit's strongest venture into orthodontics to date, solidifying its commitment to elevating orthodontic practices worldwide.

A New Era in Orthodontics

The formation of this new division marks a significant evolution for Medit. "This acquisition symbolizes our dedication not just to entering the orthodontic sector but rather our intention to redefine it," stated Han Ryu, CEO of Medit. By merging its cutting-edge digital scanning technology with Progressive Orthodontics' established educational framework, Medit aims to reshape the learning and delivery of orthodontic care globally.

With the establishment of the Global Orthodontic Business Division, Medit is poised to roll out an integrated platform that encompasses a comprehensive range of orthodontic products, services, and education. The division's backbone consists of Medit's advanced 3D scanning technology and AI-driven dental software, which aim to enhance clinical workflows, improve treatment accuracy, and elevate the patient care experience.

Expanding the Educational Frontier

Progressive Orthodontics, which has been shaping orthodontic education for over 40 years, brings to Medit a wealth of experience and a robust network of educators. This aligns perfectly with Medit’s vision of incorporating practical, case-based training that Progressive is well-known for. The division will now manage an entire portfolio that includes the Medit Orthodontic Suite for treatment planning and design, along with Medit Aligners—an end-to-end clear aligner solution which is currently available in the United States.

The strategic integration of Progressive Orthodontics’ curriculum will enable a seamless blend between clinical education and digital technology, fostering an enriched learning environment for current and future practitioners. This initiative is expected to benefit tens of thousands of dental professionals already trained by Progressive across 60 countries.

"Joining the Medit family marks an exciting new chapter for Progressive Orthodontics," said Miles McGann, CEO of Progressive Orthodontics. He emphasizes the mission of elevating clinical standards in orthodontics is further strengthened by Medit's resources and technology.

Under Medit's stewardship, Progressive Orthodontics will not only continue its internationally renowned seminar programs but will also expand its planning and hardware offerings, broadening its educational reach and impact across the globe.

Future Directions

The Newport Beach office of Medit USA, Inc., will serve as the operational heart of the Global Orthodontic Business Division, focusing on product development, collaboration, and education amongst practitioners throughout the Americas. This geographic positioning highlights Medit’s strategy to enhance its presence within the American market while simultaneously fulfilling its global vision.

The establishment of this division is a part of Medit’s broader initiative to enhance digital workflows in dentistry, showcasing its dedication to fostering innovation within the field. By combining advances in technology with education and clinical practice, Medit is reinforcing its mission of making digital solutions accessible to every dental professional around the world.

As medics strive to be at the forefront of digital dentistry, the successful integration of these two institutions could well signal a transformative time for orthodontic care, ensuring that practitioners across the globe can provide outstanding services that adapt to the future of dental care.
