AI-powered digital orthodontics company Laon Medi has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Geno, a specialist in medical device manufacturing automation, to jointly develop an automated production system for clear aligners.
Through this partnership, Laon Medi aims to combine its AI-based digital orthodontic software with Geno's manufacturing automation technology to establish an integrated workflow that connects patient diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance production.
Conventional clear aligner workflows often require multiple manual steps between treatment planning and manufacturing. The new platform is designed to streamline this process by seamlessly connecting digital treatment planning with automated production, supporting a more efficient in-house manufacturing environment for dental clinics.
Laon Medi will provide its AI-powered digital orthodontic platform, Laon Ortho, for diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance design, while Geno will contribute its expertise in manufacturing automation and production processes. Together, the two companies plan to build a digital production environment that enables clinicians to produce clear aligners more efficiently within their own practices.
Il-Hoon Kim, Vice President of Laon Medi, said, "This partnership represents an important step toward connecting digital orthodontic software with automated manufacturing technology. We will continue collaborating with industry-leading partners to create a more efficient digital workflow for dental professionals."
Laon Medi continues to expand its digital orthodontic ecosystem through Laon Ortho, integrating AI-powered diagnosis with advanced manufacturing technologies to strengthen its competitiveness in the global digital dentistry market.
