SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 26, 2025 – Dentsply Sirona is intensifying its commitment to digital orthodontics with the launch of a global educational webinar series built around its SureSmile platform. The initiative aims to help orthodontists and dental teams integrate advanced digital workflows into everyday practice, driving improvements in treatment planning, patient outcomes, and practice efficiency.
Advancing Clinical Education in Digital Orthodontics
The SureSmile Global Specialist Educational Webinars are structured to address the rapid adoption of digital technologies across orthodontics. Each session focuses on a core element of digital treatment planning, offering step-by-step insights from leading practitioners.
- August 15, 2025: Digital Indirect Bonding: Enhancing Orthodontic Precision, Accuracy, and Efficiency by Dr. Cory Costanzo.
- October 24, 2025: Distalization with Clear Aligners by Dr. Angelica Iglesias.
With more than three decades of expertise in digital tooth movement, the SureSmile system provides orthodontists with an integrated digital workflow designed to increase accuracy and predictability while enhancing patient experience.
Clinical Relevance and Workflow Impact
Digital orthodontics is reshaping how specialists approach case planning, bracket placement, and aligner sequencing. By embedding 3D treatment planning tools and AI-driven simulations into the workflow, SureSmile enables:
- Greater precision in bracket positioning through indirect bonding.
- Predictable outcomes for clear aligner therapy, even in complex distalization cases.
- Efficiency gains that shorten chair time and improve staff productivity.
This aligns with broader industry shifts where orthodontists are increasingly adopting digital solutions to remain competitive, reduce error margins, and meet patient demand for faster, more aesthetic treatments.
Expert Voices on the Future of Orthodontics
“Continuous education is essential for orthodontists to keep pace with the digital transformation of our field,” said Dr. Cory Costanzo, orthodontist from Fresno, California, USA. “Programs like these are about empowering specialists with the knowledge they need to deliver safe, effective care with confidence.”
Jill Uhryniak, Group Vice President, Orthodontics and Aligner Solutions at Dentsply Sirona, emphasized the company’s commitment: “At Dentsply Sirona, we believe that empowering clinicians through high-quality education is critical to driving better patient outcomes. The SureSmile Global Specialist Educational Webinars are a testament to our ongoing commitment to supporting orthodontists with advanced digital workflows, backed by science and clinical excellence.”
Industry Context and Competitive Positioning
The push for digital orthodontics mirrors developments across dentistry, where imaging, AI, and aligner-based therapies are reshaping practice economics. Competitors in the clear aligner and digital treatment planning space, such as Align Technology and 3Shape, are also investing in clinician education. By delivering complimentary, expert-led sessions, Dentsply Sirona is differentiating itself with an emphasis on global access and continuous professional development.
Strategic Implications for Orthodontic Practices
For orthodontic providers, participating in these webinars can translate into direct business benefits:
- Faster adoption of new technologies with minimal disruption.
- Improved staff training across the orthodontic care team.
- Enhanced patient communication through visual treatment simulations.
Ultimately, the integration of digital workflows like SureSmile supports practices in delivering more consistent results, reducing retreatment rates, and strengthening patient satisfaction—critical differentiators in today’s competitive orthodontic market.
