RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Smartee Denti-Technology, a global leader in clear aligners and digital orthodontic solutions, further strengthened its presence in the Middle East by unveiling its groundbreaking Clear Mandibular Repositioning Technology at three major orthodontic events in Riyadh: the 18th Saudi Orthodontic Society Annual Conference, the 15th World Implant Orthodontic Conference, and the 4th Saudi Orthodontic Clear Aligner Meeting. These events, held from December 12-14, 2024, brought together leading dental professionals from across the globe to explore advancements in orthodontic care. 

Driving Innovation in a Growing Market

With a rising demand for clear aligners in emerging markets, especially the Middle East, Smartee is positioning itself at the forefront of this growth.
