Smartee's European Children's Orthodontic Summit at Disneyland Paris

On December 18, 2025, Smartee Denti-Technology achieved a significant milestone by hosting the European Children's Orthodontic Summit at the enchanting Disneyland Paris. This event attracted 52 orthodontists from various countries, including France, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, and Syria. The summit's central theme was "Success with Children through Aligners," aiming to equip clinicians with valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance on integrating clear aligner therapy into the early orthodontic treatment of young patients.

Enhancing Pediatric Treatment with Disney Magic

Smartee's approach to pediatric orthodontics revolves around a growth-oriented and staged treatment philosophy. This strategy seamlessly integrates transparent aligners, myofunctional trainers, and functional appliances into a cohesive system designed for young patients. Additionally, patient engagement and compliance remain paramount, particularly in pediatric care.

Ever since Smartee introduced its first orthodontic product for children featuring officially licensed Disney characters on the packaging in February 2022 in China, the company has progressively expanded its reach since 2024 to 63 more countries and regions worldwide. Notable Disney characters like Elsa, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Stitch have been effectively integrated into Smartee's orthodontic solutions for children. This collaboration, highlighted at the European Summit held in Disneyland Paris, aims to make orthodontic treatment more appealing and emotionally engaging for young patients while ensuring clinical precision.

By incorporating these beloved characters, Smartee enriches the patient experience and fosters long-term treatment adherence, allowing young patients to feel more comfortable throughout their orthodontic journey. While maintaining a clear focus on clinical effectiveness, this cross-industry partnership underscores Smartee's commitment to making orthodontics more accessible without compromising the integrity of core treatment protocols.

A Shift in Early Orthodontics: From Treatment to Consultation

The summit brought together leading orthodontists such as Pascal Baron, Dimitri Pascual, Paulo Retto, Constance Laloze, Capucine Batut, and Anne-Claire Loiseau, who shared clinical insights about early orthodontics. Prof. Dr. Pascal Baron, a prominent figure in French orthodontics, emphasized the importance of transitioning from a traditional "treatment-oriented" mindset to a "growth-oriented" approach. He explained that early orthodontics involves more than just moving teeth; it requires creating a balanced environment to support a child's dynamic growth, including the alignment of teeth, jaws, and facial structure systematically.

"Early interventions play a crucial role in guiding the development of jaws and teeth," supported Dr. Adrien Bizet, who noted Smartee's advanced integrated mandibular advancement systems that render aligners a clinically relevant solution for treating early-stage retrognathism effectively.

Dr. Constance Laloze highlighted the increasing clinical attention towards Smartee's early orthodontic solutions. "Smartee's advanced, programmable mandibular advancement, directly integrated into the aligner sequence, provides an unprecedented level of biomechanical personalization and digital planning. This is still rare among aligner systems, especially in treating skeletal Class II cases in children and adolescents."

Advancing Clinical Collaboration in Pediatric Orthodontics across Europe

This summit served not only as a platform for academic exchange but also as a means of fostering clinical collaboration and furthering the development of early pediatric orthodontics throughout Europe. Smartee reaffirmed its commitment to evidence-based training and the advancement of clear aligner solutions for children and adolescents, ensuring ongoing collaboration with clinicians, educators, and researchers. This commitment aims to support the growth of early orthodontic care across Europe.
