Smartee's Participation in the 57th SIDO Congress

From October 8 to 10, 2026, Smartee Denti-Technology attended the 57th International Congress of the Italian Society of Orthodontics (SIDO) held in Turin. This event served as a significant platform for sharing and discussing advancements in orthodontic treatment, focusing on complex Class II cases and the growing integration of digital technology in clinical decision-making.

The theme of this year's congress, "Beyond Alignment: Interdisciplinary Approaches, Artificial Intelligence, and Clinical Knowledge in Orthodontic Decision-Making," emphasized a significant shift in orthodontics towards treatment strategies that combine digital tools with clinical expertise and interdisciplinary evaluations. Smartee's participation underscored its commitment to addressing complex malocclusions and contributing to the Italian orthodontic community.

Highlighting Clinical Solutions for Class II Malocclusions

A key highlight for Smartee was the clinical presentation by Dr. Jingting Lu, titled "S8-SGTB: An Aligner for Correcting Severe Class II Dento-Maxillary Disharmony." This talk introduced a pioneering approach for dealing with skeletal Class II malocclusions associated with mandibular retrognathism, a condition often characterized by both dento-maxillary disharmony and a convex facial profile. Conventional treatment options typically include orthodontic camouflage or, in certain cases, orthognathic surgery.

During his presentation, Dr. Lu detailed the clinical application of the S8-SGTB device, which is part of Smartee's innovative GS system that couples mandibular repositioning technology with clear aligner therapy. He discussed important aspects of patient selection, evaluating mandibular position, and treatment planning for patients facing Class II dento-maxillary disharmony. For appropriately selected patients, mandibular repositioning offers an additional treatment route that considers mandibular position alongside dental movement and occlusal management.

Dr. Lu's insights further emphasized a broader principle underpinning the GS system: evaluating mandibular relationships in sagittal, vertical, and transverse dimensions rather than focusing solely on tooth alignment. This comprehensive perspective marks a progressive step in orthodontic treatment methodologies.

Strengthening Relationships in the Italian Orthodontic Market

Smartee’s involvement in the 2026 SIDO congress aligns with its ongoing development within the Italian orthodontic sector. Through scientific meetings, clinical trainings, and direct dialogue with local orthodontists, Smartee aims to foster professional exchanges and better understand the clinical needs of practitioners in Italy.

Italy is expected to remain a central focus of Smartee's European academic activities. Following the Smartee 2026 European Summit held in Mallorca, which gathered nearly 300 orthodontics specialists and clinicians from 27 countries, the company is set to host its next European summit in Rome in 2027.

Smartee's engagement at the SIDO congress, coupled with its plans to return to Italy for the 2027 summit, illustrates the company's steadfast commitment to enhancing clinical and academic exchanges within the Italian market, underlining its role as a leader in orthodontic solutions.

Conclusion

The 57th SIDO Congress marked a pivotal moment for Smartee Denti-Technology as it showcased its innovative clinical approaches and its dedication to improving orthodontic practices. By intertwining cutting-edge technology with clinical expertise, Smartee is poised to make significant contributions to the field of orthodontics, particularly in navigating complex Class II cases. The company’s ongoing collaboration with the Italian orthodontic community indicates a promising future for advancements in patient care and treatment methodologies.
