On 15 October 2026 the first Ortho Institute gathering brought orthodontists and specialists interested in the future of modern orthodontics to Mama Shelter in Prague. The main themes were digitalisation and artificial intelligence, running a clinical practice more efficiently, and an introduction to OrthoFX technology — the first and only clear aligner system designed to cut wear time by 50 % and give precise control in the finishing phase of treatment.
Building the future of orthodontics together
Less admin, more automation and above all more room for patients. Tomáš Barták introduced the Smilink ecosystem, a smart digital solution that brings together modern technology, an efficient workflow and seamless communication with patients. Next-generation orthodontics starts right here. Professionals who are interested can try the software for free, take part in its development and shape the future of digital orthodontics together with us.
The first FDA-cleared twelve-hour aligners are now in Czechia
OrthoFX is the first and only clear aligner system cleared by the FDA for twelve hours of continuous daily wear. Two respected doctors from the United States described what that means in everyday practice. Dr. Warshawsky flew to Prague in person, Dr. Norris joined online. Both spoke from their own experience — fewer attachments and aligners, gentler forces on the teeth — and showed what sets the technology apart on their own clinical cases.
