Global Orthodontists Gather in Europe
Smartee, a leader in orthodontic technology, recently hosted two groundbreaking symposiums in Europe, specifically in Brussels and Rome. These events brought together orthodontists from over ten different countries, highlighting a growing international interest in innovative treatment methods using Smartee's GS Mandibular Repositioning Technology. The symposiums aimed to enhance the understanding and application of advanced techniques for treating malocclusions among dental professionals.
The first symposium took place in the heart of Brussels, featuring an extensive program that delved into the fundamental principles and clinical applications of Smartee’s mandibular repositioning technology. Participants learned through immersive workshops that included theoretical lessons, practical exercises, and in-depth case studies. These sessions not only equipped them with effective strategies to address severe malocclusions but also fostered a lively exchange of clinical experiences among attendees.
A key highlight of the symposium was a presentation by Professor Gang Shen, who introduced a detailed clinical framework for managing adult cases of severe malocclusions, specifically those classified as “three-depths” malocclusions. This particular type is characterized by various facial and dental anomalies, such as mandibular retrusion, excessive overbite, and pronounced Spee curve. Acknowledging that many adult patients may be hesitant to undergo surgical repositioning or maxillary extractions, Professor Shen proposed a stepwise, non-invasive treatment approach. This begins with aligners fitted with vertical occlusal blocks combined with the S8-SGTB device to guide the anterior repositioning of the mandible.
The protocol involves simultaneous dental adjustments, including incisive intrusion and molar extrusion, allowing for both advancements of the mandible and remodeling of the condylar area through adaptive bone deposition. This innovative approach not only improves facial aesthetics but also enhances dental function while minimizing invasive procedures. Such transformative strategies offer orthodontists a new perspective on using clear aligners for complex skeletal malocclusion cases.
The symposium in Rome continued the momentum from Brussels, reinforcing Smartee's commitment to elevating global orthodontic standards. Both events encouraged productive dialogue between European clinicians and Smartee’s scientific leaders, underlining the clinical effectiveness of their device in managing class II malocclusions and maxillary discrepancies.
With participants from various countries such as France, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Lebanon attending these symposiums, it became evident that the GS Mandibular Repositioning Technology is gaining traction in the orthodontic community worldwide. Dr. Camilla Molinari, an orthodontic specialist, remarked, “These sessions unveiled revolutionary applications for complex malocclusions using the GS Technology. The insights shared by Professor Shen and the compelling data presented will significantly enhance our approach to class II cases. I believe this will transform clinical practice.”
Similarly, Dr. Versace Piero expressed his enthusiasm about the training provided, stating, “The GS training by Smartee was exceptionally clear and innovative. The methodology offers tangible clinical value, and I plan to integrate it into my practice. This technology represents the future of precision orthodontics.”
These symposiums mark a significant transition for Smartee, evolving from an aligner exporter to a global technology innovator, with GS Mandibular Repositioning emerging as a pioneering framework for handling complex orthodontic cases. By exporting validated scientific protocols alongside their aligner systems, Smartee empowers clinicians worldwide to achieve consistent and physiologically sound outcomes in their practice.
