JERUSALEM, Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dror Ortho-Design, Inc. (“Dror” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK: DROR), an AI-based orthodontic platform company, has developed ZSmile, an innovative solution that corrects smiles by straightening teeth, using pulsating air delivered through a single custom-made smart aligner. This groundbreaking technology not only delivers effective orthodontic treatment but also generates up to 20 times less plastic waste compared to traditional aligners.

A recent study, Towards Sustainable Orthodontics: Environmental Implications and Strategies for Clear Aligner Therapy (August 2024), estimates that aligner treatments generate approximately 2.8 million kilograms of plastic waste annually from discarded aligners. Furthermore, an additional 30% to 40% of waste comes from unused polymer sheets during manufacturing. Conventional orthodontic treatments often require multiple aligner trays, typically 10 to 20 per patient. ZSmile’s single-aligner approach significantly reduces waste compared to traditional methods, presenting a more sustainable alternative in orthodontics. By leveraging AI-powered technology, remote monitoring, and fewer physical aligners, Dror Ortho-Design is paving the way for a greener future in dental care.

Lee Haddad, CEO of Dror, highlighted the significance of ZSmile’s dual benefits: “With ZSmile, we are introducing a revolutionary approach to smile correction that is both pain-free and eco-friendly. This technological advancement fits seamlessly into patients’ lifestyles while being mindful of the environment. With the ability to correct their smiles at home or while they sleep, patients can complete their treatment in half the time of traditional aligners. Additionally, our AI platform enables more remote monitoring, which further reduces the carbon footprint by minimizing in-office visits.”
