Glidewell has announced that it has reached a milestone of fabricating 10 million oral appliances, including bite splints, retainers, dental sleep appliances, migraine prevention devices, and sports mouthguards. The company, which has been producing custom oral appliances for over 30 years, attributes the achievement to its collaboration with dental professionals.
"It's all thanks to our customers," stated Peter Tran, the preventive care manager and certified dental technician at Glidewell. "We're driven by their passion to protect patients' oral health between dental visits. We provide a wide range of products to do so, but it is ultimately the dentists who transform their patients' lives with preventive care. We're honored to be a part of that."
The company states that its experience in the field allows dentists to rely on the quality of its appliances and quick turnaround times. According to Glidewell, its ability to deliver preventive care appliances efficiently results in fewer adjustments or remakes, improving workflow and patient satisfaction. The company also provides warranties on all preventive appliances, offering refabrication at no additional cost if needed.
Glidewell also offers educational resources to dentists looking to implement new preventive services. These include free clinical education courses, as well as training on specialized products such as dental sleep appliances and migraine prevention devices.
"We believe in growing alongside the dentists we serve," stated Stephenie Goddard, CEO of Glidewell. "Their needs evolve, so we have to keep pace and anticipate change – the preventive care appliance category has been particularly exciting with advancements in materials, precision, and protection via technology. Our Research & Development team is constantly innovating, as evidenced by the successful launches of the ORB Sport Smart Mouthguard and Silent Nite 3D Sleep Appliance. We greatly value our customers' clinical feedback as we strive to create the best possible experience."
The company states that continued investment in research and development remains a focus as it looks to improve materials and technology in the preventive care sector.
