Smartee Hosts the European Pediatric Orthodontics Summit at Disneyland Paris

On December 18, 2025, Smartee Denti-Technology celebrated a remarkable event at Disneyland Paris—the European Pediatric Orthodontics Summit. This gathering brought together a diverse group of 52 orthodontists from various countries including France, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, and Syria. The central theme of the summit, "Succeeding in Pediatric Orthodontics with Aligners," equipped clinicians with both theoretical insights and practical guidance on the integration of transparent aligner therapy into the early orthodontic treatment of young patients.

Enhancing Pediatric Treatment with Disney Character Packages

The enchantment of Disney was woven into the fabric of orthodontic treatment, making it more engaging for young patients. Smartee’s approach to pediatric orthodontics is grounded in a stepwise treatment philosophy incorporating transparent aligners, myofunctional trainers, and functional appliances—a unified system tailored to address the needs of young patients. Central to this philosophy is the emphasis on patient involvement and treatment adherence, which are critical in pediatric care.

Since the introduction of its first early orthodontic product in China in February 2022, presented with officially licensed Disney character packaging, Smartee has expanded its horizons to 63 additional countries and regions worldwide by 2024. This expansion is complemented by the integration of beloved Disney characters such as Elsa, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Stitch into its pediatric orthodontic solutions. The collaboration celebrated during the summit aims to make orthodontic treatment more relatable and emotionally connected for young patients, while ensuring rigorous clinical standards.

These characters serve to enhance the treatment experience for young patients and foster their long-term adherence to the process, allowing them to feel more comfortable on their orthodontic journey. While maintaining a clear focus on clinical efficacy, this cross-sector partnership reinforces Smartee's commitment to creating a more accessible orthodontics landscape, without compromising the integrity of treatment. The shift in pediatric orthodontics reflects a move from a "treatment-focused" model to a “growth-oriented" approach.

Notable Insights from Leading Orthodontists

The summit featured prominent orthodontists such as Pascal Baron, Dimitri Pascual, Paulo Retto, Constance Laloze, Capucine Batut, and Anne-Claire Loiseau, who shared their clinical knowledge in early orthodontics. Dr. Pascal Baron emphasized the necessity of transitioning from the traditional "treatment-centered" model to a growth-oriented one. He articulated that early orthodontics is not merely about straightening teeth, but about fostering a balanced environment that supports dynamic growth in children, which systematically aids in aligning teeth, jaws, and facial structure.

“Early intervention plays a critical role in managing jaw and tooth development,” he stated. Dr. Adrien Bizet echoed Baron’s perspective, noting, “In this context, Smartee stands out in France with its integrated mandibular repositioning systems, making aligners a clinically relevant solution for addressing mandibular retrognathism at an early stage.”

Dr. Constance Laloze highlighted the increasing clinical attention given to Smartee's early orthodontic solutions, stating, “The programmable and progressive mandibular repositioning technology integrated within Smartee’s aligner sequence offers a unique level of biomechanical customization and digital planning that is rare among aligner systems, particularly for treating Class II skeletal cases in children and adolescents.”

A Platform for Collaboration in Pediatric Orthodontics

The summit not only served as an academic exchange hub but also as a platform to encourage clinical collaboration and to advance early pediatric orthodontics across Europe. Smartee reaffirmed its dedication to evidence-based training and advocating for transparent aligner solutions for children and adolescents. The company continues to partner with clinicians, educators, and researchers to support the evolution of early orthodontic care across the continent.

This multi-faceted event at one of the world's most beloved destinations encapsulates Smartee's innovative spirit and commitment to shaping a brighter future for pediatric orthodontics.
