Medit Introduces New Orthodontic Business Division

In May 2026, Medit Corp., a prominent global leader in digital dentistry solutions, announced the establishment of its Global Orthodontic Business Division and the subsequent acquisition of Progressive Orthodontics, a distinguished educational institution in the field of orthodontics, headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California, through its U.S. subsidiary, Medit USA Inc. This strategic expansion into the orthodontic segment represents Medit’s most significant initiative to date, integrating its advanced digital scanning and software capabilities with a widely recognized platform for clinical education.

“This acquisition and the establishment of our Global Orthodontic Business Division signify a pivotal moment for Medit. We are not merely entering the orthodontic sector; we are dedicated to transforming it. Progressive Orthodontics boasts a legacy of clinical excellence and an exceptional network of educators. When combined with Medit’s innovations in software, this alliance will redefine the methodologies by which orthodontic care is learned, practiced, and delivered on a global scale,” remarked Han Ryu, Chief Executive Officer of Medit.
The newly formed Global Orthodontic Business Division will serve as Medit’s primary platform for orthodontic products, services, and education. Leveraging Medit’s preeminent 3D scanning technology and AI-driven dental software platforms, the division is designed to accelerate the adoption of fully digital workflows by providing integrated solutions that enhance treatment precision, improve operational efficiency, and elevate the overall patient experience.

Under Medit’s ownership, Progressive Orthodontics will continue its prestigious seminar and training programs while expanding its offerings related to SmileStream planning and hardware. The curriculum will gradually be integrated with Medit’s digital solutions to formulate a more coherent clinical and technological learning experience.

“Joining the Medit family marks a natural progression for Progressive Orthodontics. For decades, our mission has centered on elevating the art and science of orthodontics through education. Now, with the resources, technology, and global reach of Medit, we are poised to broaden that mission to every corner of the world, equipping the next generation of clinicians with the knowledge and digital tools necessary for excellence,” stated Miles McGann, Chief Executive Officer of Progressive Orthodontics.
