Lede

The Orthodontic Market is entering a transformative phase as leading dental technology companies accelerate innovation through artificial intelligence (AI), strategic collaborations, and global expansion. Recent developments—including DentalMonitoring’s €84 million funding round, Straumann Group’s integration of AI-powered remote care solutions, and Smartee’s strategic partnership and expansion into Southeast Asia—signal a shift toward digitally enabled, patient-centric orthodontic ecosystems. These advancements highlight how AI-driven monitoring, scalable manufacturing, and regional market penetration are reshaping orthodontic care delivery worldwide.

DentalMonitoring Secures Funding to Scale AI-Driven Orthodontics

Paris-based DentalMonitoring recently raised €84 million to expand its AI-powered orthodontic monitoring platform globally. The company enables remote patient tracking, allowing orthodontists to monitor treatment progress in real time without frequent clinic visits.

Key highlights include:

  • AI-powered monitoring: Real-time treatment tracking using smartphone-based scans.

  • Operational efficiency: Reduces chair time and improves clinic productivity.

  • Patient experience: Enhances compliance through continuous digital engagement.

From our observations at Next Move Strategy Consulting, AI-driven remote monitoring is redefining orthodontic workflows. Clinics adopting such technologies can significantly reduce treatment delays while improving patient adherence, particularly in urban and digitally connected populations.

  • Global rollout plans: Expansion expected to strengthen digital orthodontics adoption.

  • Clinical impact: Improves treatment predictability and reduces manual intervention.

We observe that Straumann’s approach reflects a broader industry shift toward platform-based orthodontic ecosystems. Integrating AI within treatment workflows enables scalable and standardized care, making advanced orthodontic solutions more widely accessible.

Smartee & Straumann Partnership Accelerates Innovation

Smartee Denti-Technology and Straumann Group have announced a strategic partnership to co-develop next-generation orthodontic solutions and optimize global manufacturing capabilities.

  • Joint innovation: Focus on advanced clear aligner technologies.

  • Manufacturing optimization: Enhances production efficiency and scalability.

  • Global reach: Strengthens supply chain capabilities across key markets.

In addition, Smartee’s expansion into Southeast Asia highlights growing demand for aesthetic orthodontic solutions in emerging markets, driven by rising disposable incomes and increasing awareness of dental health.
