Smartee's First GS Summit in Cologne Highlights Innovations in Orthodontics

On November 27, 2025, Smartee Denti-Technology made a significant mark on the orthodontic community by hosting its inaugural GS-focused clinical summit in the vibrant city of Cologne, Germany. This milestone event deepened Smartee’s collaboration with orthodontists throughout the DACH region, further solidifying the company's commitment to advancing dental technology in Europe.

Although Smartee has been actively operating in Germany for over two years with a local subsidiary, the Cologne summit represented the company's first European event specifically dedicated to its innovative GS mandibular repositioning technology. The following day, Smartee extended its presence at the renowned TPAO Congress, where Chief Scientist Prof. Gang Shen took center stage to deliver a keynote lecture on the significant advancements in GS technology. His presentation highlighted the growing clinical and academic interest surrounding Smartee’s functional orthodontic innovations.

A Day of Discovery at the Cologne Summit


The Smartee DACH GS Summit brought together a diverse group of orthodontists and dental professionals for an engaging day focused on the theme "Redefining Adult Mandibular Repositioning with Aligner Therapy."

Key moments included:
  • - Prof. Dr. Gang Shen, the Chief Scientist for Smartee, led two comprehensive sessions on the biological mechanisms underlying Mandibular Advancement Repositioning Technology (MART) and the clinical management protocols for the Smartee S8-SGTB system.
  • - Mr. Matthias Peper, President of TPAO Congress, shared first-hand clinical experiences with Smartee’s GS mandibular repositioning system, elaborating on case selection, planning workflows, and outcomes from early treatments.
  • - Dr. Werner Schupp, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Aligner Orthodontics, presented insights on integrating individualized jaw-movement data into digital planning, showcasing how this approach can enhance functional predictability right from the initial stages of treatment.

The summit culminated with a thorough review of complex adult GS cases by Prof. Shen, who also presented participating clinicians with the Smartee GS Course Certificate, applauding their commitment to advancing their orthodontic practice.

Engaging with Over 1,300 Professionals at TPAO Congress


From November 28 to 29, Smartee further showcased its commitment to functional orthodontics at the 4th TPAO Congress. Engaging with more than 1,300 orthodontists and dental technicians, Smartee participated in one of Europe's leading platforms for aligner treatment planning and interdisciplinary learning.

At the Smartee booth, attendees explored a comprehensive range of clear aligners developed for both children and adults, featuring five distinct product series. Additionally, the newly introduced packaging, showcasing a Disney-licensed Iron Man design, caught the attention of many visitors, making it a memorable highlight.

Prof. Gang Shen’s keynote lecture titled "Mandibular Repositioning Therapy: GS Fundamental Mechanisms, Therapeutic Procedures, and Clinical Efficacy" elaborated on why GS therapy presents a predictable and biologically-supported solution for adult mandibular repositioning. His insights underscored the therapy's growing relevance within the European orthodontic landscape.

Committing to Long-term Engagement in Europe


The Cologne GS Summit and participation at TPAO reflect Smartee's ongoing dedication to the orthodontic sector in Europe. These events are not merely introductions to the market; they mark a consolidation of Smartee’s enduring presence and indicate an increasing interest in GS-based functional orthodontics.

With ongoing investments in digital innovation, clinician training, and international academic collaborations, Smartee is well-positioned to expand the clinical impact of GS technology across Europe and beyond, promising to reshape the orthodontic landscape for years to come.
