Simon Graf

Dr. Simon Graf is the inventor and pioneer for 3d metal printed orthodontic appliances. Since 2014 he plans his metallic appliances virtual on an intraoral scan and produces them directly with selective-laser melting device, so called 3d metal printing. Of course, in the meanwhile many new printing options appeared, and also many more orthodontic appliances were converted to be printed directly. But not only metal printing evolved, also direct aligner printing is possible nowadays. Also the orthodontic retention is evolving with new Cad/Cam procedures, and he keeps up with the latest trends and research for this topic as well. New high-tech is not just important for 3d printing in the clinic, AI changes also the way how orthodontists will be able to learn, plan and teach orthodontic treatments.
