Tackling Complex Challenges within Global Orthodontics
At the conference, Prof. Shen introduced clear S8 technology, developed in collaboration with Smartee. Building on the Diagnostic classification of malocclusion with facial convexity, Prof. Shen delivered an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms behind mandibular retrusion and the S8-SGTB treatment protocols for both physiological and pathological mandibular retrusion.
Prof. Shen highlighted that facial convexity, influenced by regional and genetic factors, presents a complex challenge worldwide. The intricate manifestations and overlapping causes make diagnosis and treatment difficult. The S8 mandibular advancement technology provides an alternative solution that not only corrects dental alignment but also improves facial aesthetics, enhancing treatment efficiency and patient outcomes significantly.

Case Spotlight: Innovative Solutions in Action
In the case showcase session, Prof. Shen was the first expert to present a case involving a 28-year-old adult with Class II malocclusion. Using S8-SGTB, Prof. Shen demonstrated the rapid correction of a deep overbite, large overjet, and an excessive curve of Spee. He pinpointed the factors contributing to the stability of adult mandibular repositioning, making it clear that with accurate classification, appropriate treatment protocols, and advanced devices, adult mandibular repositioning is not only possible but highly effective and stable over time.
Advancing Orthodontic Innovation
Prof. Shen's presentation reinforced Smartee's position at the forefront of orthodontic innovation. The clear S8 mandibular repositioning technology drew significant attention from the global orthodontic community, reflecting the growing demand for solutions pushing conventional treatments' boundaries. As Smartee deepens its strategic partnership with Prof. Shen, the collaboration promises to unlock new possibilities in clear aligner orthodontics, addressing unmet clinical needs and driving the industry forward.
