Medit Corp., a global leader in digital dentistry solutions, has announced the establishment of its Global Orthodontic Business Division and the acquisition of Progressive Orthodontics, a leading orthodontic education institution headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California, through its US subsidiary, Medit USA Inc.
This marks Korean startup Medit’s most significant strategic expansion into the orthodontic segment to date, integrating its digital scanning and software capabilities with a globally recognised clinical education platform.
The newly established Global Orthodontic Business Division will serve as Medit’s central platform for orthodontic products, services, and education. Backed by Medit’s industry-leading 3D scanning technology and AI-driven dental software platforms, the division is designed to accelerate the adoption of fully digital workflows by delivering integrated solutions that enhance treatment precision, improve operational efficiency, and elevate the overall patient experience.
The division will oversee Medit’s complete orthodontic portfolio, now complemented by the clinical knowledge and practitioner community cultivated by Progressive Orthodontics. This portfolio includes the Medit Orthodontic Suite, a digital platform for simulation, treatment planning, and case design, as well as Medit Aligners, an end-to-end clear aligner solution. Both offerings are currently available in the United States, with broader global availability planned.
Founded more than 40 years ago, Progressive Orthodontics is widely recognised for its clinical training programs and has educated tens of thousands of practitioners across more than 60 countries. Its curriculum emphasises practical, case-based learning across diagnosis, biomechanics, and treatment execution, and has established a strong reputation for advancing clinical standards in orthodontics.
