Medit Expands Global Presence with New Orthodontic Division and Acquisition
Medit Corp, a prominent global leader in digital dental solutions, recently announced the launch of its Global Orthodontic Business Division, along with the strategic acquisition of Progressive Orthodontics, a key player in orthodontic education based in Aliso Viejo, California. This development signifies a pivotal moment for Medit as it ventures decisively into the orthodontics segment. The new division aims to integrate Medit's state-of-the-art scanning technology with Progressive Orthodontics' esteemed educational platform, creating a holistic approach to orthodontic practice.
"This acquisition and the formation of our Global Orthodontic Business Division represent a defining moment for Medit. We are not just entering the orthodontics field; we are on a mission to redefine it. The legacy of clinical excellence that Progressive Orthodontics brings, combined with Medit’s software innovation, will create a powerhouse that transforms orthodontic care delivery and education globally," said Han Ryu, CEO of Medit.
The newly instituted division will serve as Medit's core platform for orthodontic products, services, and training. Harnessing Medit's industry-leading 3D scanning technology and AI-driven dental software platforms, the division is set to accelerate the adoption of entirely digital workflows. This initiative aims to improve treatment precision, enhance operational efficiency, and enrich patient experiences. The division will manage Meit’s comprehensive orthodontic product range, which includes the Medit Orthodontic Suite, a digital platform for simulation, treatment planning, and case design, as well as Medit Aligners, a complete solution for clear aligners. Both offerings are currently available in the U.S., with plans for wider global availability.
Founded over 40 years ago, Progressive Orthodontics has built a strong reputation for its clinical training programs, educating thousands of professionals across more than 60 countries. Its curriculum emphasizes hands-on, case-based learning in diagnostic, biomechanics, and treatment implementation, significantly raising the bar for clinical standards within orthodontics.
With Medit as the new owner, Progressive Orthodontics will continue to offer its seminar and training programs while enhancing its SmileStream offerings related to planning and hardware. Additionally, the curriculum will be progressively integrated with Medit's digital solutions, fostering a more cohesive clinical and technological learning experience.
Medit USA, Inc. will serve as the headquarters for this Global Orthodontic Business Division, acting as a center for product development, clinical collaboration, and provider education across the Americas.
"Joining the Medit family is a natural next chapter for Progressive Orthodontics. For decades, we have committed ourselves to elevating the art and science of orthodontics through education. With Medit's extensive resources, technology, and global outreach, we can extend this mission worldwide, equipping the next generation of practitioners with the knowledge and digital tools they need to excel," commented Miles McGann, CEO of Progressive Orthodontics.
The establishment of the Global Orthodontic Business Division underscores Medit’s broader strategy to expand its digital dentistry ecosystem beyond scanning hardware to include integrated clinical workflows. By marrying technology, education, and provider networks, Medit positions itself to speed up the adoption of digital orthodontics and strengthen its competitiveness in a rapidly evolving global market.
