Structo partnered with 3Shape and Henry Schein to<br />
showcase 3Shape’s new Open Clear Aligner Workflow<br />
On<br />
th<br />
20 February, in partnership with Henry Schein<br />
and 3Shape , Structo hosted an education event<br />
to demonstrate 3Shape’s latest open clear aligner<br />
workflow for the very first time in <strong>Asia</strong> Pacific.<br />
The organisers and participants were joined by Mr. Stefano Negrini,<br />
CEO and owner of Ortodonzia Estense from Italy. Mr. Negrini is a<br />
Specialist <strong>Dental</strong> Technician, registered with the University of<br />
L’Aquila. He was the Chairperson of ORTEC 2015/16 and is a<br />
Key Opinion Leader for 3Shape. Mr. Negrini has worked in the<br />
field of dentistry and brought with him more than 27 years of<br />
experience in orthodontics. At the event, Mr. Negrini conducted<br />
a full treatment planning using an actual case and shared with<br />
the participants how they can optimise future treatments using<br />
various techniques.<br />
The event took place at Structo’s new Headquarters in Singapore,<br />
welcomed more than 30 dentists and dental laboratory owners<br />
from Singapore and neighbouring countries. Participants had<br />
the opportunity to observe 3Shape and Structo’s equipment in<br />
action and have their questions answered by industry experts.<br />
Clear aligners have become the go-to dental appliance in<br />
recent times thanks to its aesthetic appeal and ease of use<br />
among numerous other factors. As many people are looking<br />
into manufacturing their own aligners, through this workshop,<br />
Structo and 3Shape demonstrated to participants how they<br />
can take control of the process. And the easiest way to put<br />
themselves on the front foot is to start with an optimised<br />
manufacturing process that gives the cost advantage to<br />
compete in this billion-dollar industry. Starting out is daunting<br />
and with the simplified workflow, Structo and and 3Shape are<br />
hopeful that they will be able to enable entry of more players.<br />
Featuring a really great mix of learning and networking<br />
opportunities, the event was a perfect venue for people who<br />
are interested in entering the clear aligner space to meet likeminded<br />
people and learn from industry veterans. The organisers<br />
were overwhelmed by the support and look forward to making<br />
this event accessible to people across APAC. DA<br />
