Smartee Expands Global Orthodontic Reach with First European Summit

The summit centered on the practical application of GS Mandibular Repositioning Technology and the broader management of complex malocclusions. Prof. Gang Shen of Taikang ByBo Dental, Smartee’s chief scientist, opened the scientific sessions by outlining the three-dimensional clinical rationale for mandibular repositioning. Experts from across Europe and Asia examined various treatment pathways, including mandibular retrognathia and adult Class II malocclusions, emphasizing the need for rigorous patient selection based on sagittal, vertical, and transverse dimensions.

Beyond adult orthodontics, the program addressed the intersection of early childhood development and dental sleep medicine. Prof. Jane Shi and other specialists explored how mouth breathing and tongue posture indicate a need for multidisciplinary assessment in growing patients. Parallel sessions on obstructive sleep apnea featured insights from Prof. Antonio Gracco and Dr. Yue Weng Cheu, who underscored the role of oral appliances in managing airway health while advocating for collaborative care between orthodontists and medical sleep specialists.

Smartee leveraged the event to introduce the SA/SA Plus system, designed for primary snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea, and the AG KIDS platform, a craniofacial growth guidance tool for patients aged 3 to 16. Following the success of the Mallorca meeting, the company confirmed plans to continue its international academic series, with a follow-up summit scheduled for Rome in 2027.
