Totally Wired Orthodontics

In this podcast Finn and Christian Url, a managing director at Orthorobot Medical Technology Vienna discuss the introduction of digital processes specifically manufacturing aligners in house with Hendrik Fischbach a German orthodontist working in by the North sea near Hamburg. Hendrik studied at the University of Cologne. Originally operating in a practice in Cologne but later moved to Northern Germany where he has a specialist orthodontic practice with a digital laboratory. Hendrik has a serious interest in digital processes in Orthodontics and takes us through his journey from the early days!Hendrik Fischbach - Fachpraxis für Kieferorthopädie (Hendrik Fischbach Kieferorthopäde)https://praxis-fischbach.de/Christian UrlMSc Software Engineering, MBA Business Administrationhttps://www.orthorobot.com/

The prospect of using new technology or new processes in practice can be exciting. However it takes a little work and finessing. We discuss how to begin, what we would do differently, and why we think it is a better way to practice orthodontics! We hope this will be the first of a series of episodes outlining the journey from a completely analogue practice to one that has adapted to integrated digital processes!

How can clinicians help themselves by closer inspection of the science pertaining the materials we use every day?Freedom to think or slaves to the Schtick? Dr. Paul Hooi, PhD (biotech engineer, dentist, and practice principal) and I take the opportunity to ponder our options with Brian. Enjoy!Dr. Brian W Darvell was formerly Professor and Chairman of the Department of Bioclinical Sciences in the faculty of Dentistry at Kuwait University.

In our new season, we kick off with a Tech chat with Graham Turner from the innovative and straight talking Australian 3D printing company Asiga and with Dr. Gary Yeung- dentist and tech nerd.We meander through a range of subjects from how Graham got into 3D printing and how additive manufacturing is changing the orthodontic industry. We give pointers for clinicians on how to get started and how to fit this new technology into everyday practice.Gary and I can be contacted on the emails below:Dr. Gary Yeung | Managing DirectorSynergy Health, Dental & Medical Pty Limited. g.yeung@synergyhdm.comFinn Geoghegan: Finn.geoghegan@sop.ieMusic by the very talented Sarah and Jessica Bennett, Portlaoise!Editing and hard work by Laura Gutberg, head of Digital technology, SOP and Totally Wired Orthodontics
