SINGAPORE, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Smartee Denti-Technology recently brought together dental professionals for the Smartee Kinder & Teen Workshop, an educational program focused on the clinical assessment and management of growing patients.
Held under the theme "Children's Early Orthodontic Treatment: From Screening to Clinical Application," the workshop provided a platform for clinicians to discuss practical considerations in pediatric orthodontics, including patient assessment, treatment timing, case selection and the application of different treatment approaches.
The program formed part of Smartee's continued clinical education activities for dental professionals across the Asia-Pacific region.
Clinical Discussion Focuses on Treatment Decision-Making
A key component of the workshop was an interactive discussion in which participating clinicians raised questions based on challenges encountered in daily practice.
Among the topics addressed was the use of myofunctional trainers in growing patients. The discussion focused on evaluating their use according to the individual patient's orofacial myofunctional condition, developmental stage and treatment objectives, rather than applying a uniform approach across different cases.
Participants also discussed Smartee's approach to the management of growing patients. The session considered dental alignment alongside factors including dentofacial growth, occlusal development and oral function, with treatment approaches selected according to individual clinical needs.
Another area of discussion was maxillary expansion in pediatric Class II cases. The session emphasized case-specific assessment, including transverse development, arch form, and occlusal relationships, when determining whether expansion should form part of a treatment plan.
Treatment timing was also addressed. Discussions focused on how orthodontic evaluation during active growth enables clinicians to assess evolving dentofacial relationships and to make evidence-informed decisions—such as continued monitoring, initiation of early intervention, or specialist referral - based on the patient's specific clinical presentation.
Supporting Clinical Education Across Asia Pacific
The conference reflects Smartee's ongoing focus on professional education alongside the development of orthodontic solutions for growing patients.
Through conferences, courses and clinical exchange programs, Smartee provides opportunities for dental professionals to discuss topics including patient selection, treatment timing, clinical decision-making and the application of different orthodontic approaches in growing patients. （Related： CNN's Detours journeys through Tokyo to spotlight centuries-old traditions living on in the modern capital ｜ Latest ）
