“Delivering a New Direct-Print Clear Aligner Solution” Laon Medi Inc. (CEO Seok-Joong Lee), the AI healthcare subsidiary of Laon People, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Graphy Inc. (CEO Woon-Seop Shim), a leading company in dental materials, to jointly develop dental software and embark on full-scale collaboration. Through this agreement, the two companies will pursue strategic cooperation in multiple areas, including: - Development of treatment simulation and ordering systems - Development of design software tailored for shape-memory resin orthodontic appliances - Joint marketing and licensing businesses targeting overseas markets Laon Medi plans to further advance its AI-powered digital diagnostic and treatment technologies, which have drawn significant attention in the dental field. Beyond conventional thermoforming methods, the company’s strategy includes building software capable of producing clear aligners via direct 3D printing, supported by clinical data to broaden its range of applications. As a specialist in dental materials such as shape-memory resins, Graphy will integrate Laon Medi’s AI orthodontic setup software, Laon Ortho, with its proprietary dental materials and 3D printing technologies. This synergy is expected to enhance treatment efficiency, improve the completeness of dental solutions, shorten the time required for appliance production and treatment workflows, and ultimately strengthen productivity and competitiveness. A Laon Medi spokesperson commented: “Through this collaboration with Graphy, we aim to introduce a new digital dental solution that combines Korean AI software with advanced dental material technologies. We are committed to pioneering global markets so that K-Dental can emerge as a strong international trend, while further boosting our competitiveness.” Laon Medi has already garnered significant attention by unveiling its AI-based automatic diagnostic feature, “One Click,” at IDS 2025, the world’s largest dental exhibition, and by presenting advanced solutions at SIDEX 2025 and other major domestic events. The company was also recently selected for the Gyeonggi Bio & Healthcare Startup Global Investment Readiness Program, organized by the Gyeonggi Business & Science Accelerator (GBSA), and participated directly in an investor program held in Boston, USA. Graphy, meanwhile, has achieved a successful KOSDAQ listing on the strength of its proprietary dental materials and 3D printing technologies. With an established presence in over 100 countries worldwide, Graphy continues to expand its global footprint. This partnership between Laon Medi and Graphy is expected to create significant synergy, further strengthening their competitiveness in both domestic and international dental markets.

At the latest symposium hosted by the Korean Society of Digital Orthodontics (KSDO), orthodontic specialists shared their clinical experiences using Laon Ortho for In-office clear aligner treatments. The session highlighted the advantages of operating an In-office system, which allows clinics to directly design and manufacture aligners, compared to the conventional laboratory-dependent model. Speakers emphasized the effectiveness of Laon Ortho over existing alternatives, showcasing real-world cases where its AI-powered automatic setup and CBCT-based root-level precision planning significantly improved treatment efficiency and accuracy. In particular, the software’s automated workflow—enabling treatment planning within minutes—was evaluated as a major benefit in reducing consultation time and accelerating decision-making in clinical settings. The symposium also underscored how operating clear aligner services within the clinic can provide personalized treatment options and enhance profitability. Overall, the event was regarded as a meaningful milestone, presenting the future direction of digital orthodontics through the potential of In-office clear aligner solutions.
