OCTOBER 202319has been in the dental field for over 30 years now and is recognized as a leading OEM supplier of orthodontic brackets by some of the industry's key suppliers. From conception to commercialization, as a sophisticated partner, Hirsch Dynamics works with clients through every phase of development and commercialization all the way to packaging (assembly like a fulfillment center from Amazon) and software requirements and professional service level support.Personalization at the CoreHirsch Dynamics offers its range of solutions and services to clients through four different subsidiaries: Health Intelligence Technologies (HIT) based in Zürich, Switzerland; Ceramic Dental Brackets (CDB) in North Carolina, U.S.; Masterpieces (MAPS) based in Shenzhen, China; and Ceramedical­Micro Injection Moulding based in Seibersdorf, Austria. Through these companies, Hirsch Dynamics combines technologies and industry know-how to bring ideas to life.Ceramic Dental Brackets (CDB) is Hirsch Dynamics's aesthetic orthodontic bracket manufacturing division. The state-of-the-art manufacturing and packaging facility provides customers with an unprecedented array of personalized product and packaging solutions. "Our goal is to address the individual needs of our clients to maximize the potential of their design and commercialize a product that surpasses the highest-industry quality control standards," states Markus. CDB is compliant with ISO 13485, FDA (USA), PAL (Japan), and CE (Europe); the firm also holds several patents for bracket designs, features, and production methods.There are numerous individuals that want to straighten their teeth to enhance their appearance. But 90 percent of them are clueless as to what treatment plan their dentists would suggest. Will they receive an aligner or get fixed braces in ceramic or metal? In the end there will be a fixed retainer needed and this is also part of the HDH solution that is personalized and manufactured for each patient in ceramic and not in metal. Hirsch Dynamics offers a fully integrated aesthetic aligner system to correct minor teeth miss-alignments. Through an intra-oral scan or impression kits, a virtual 3D model of the patient's teeth is generated. Hirsch Dynamics's experts then create a digital treatment plan that simulates the alignment progress of the teeth in multiple steps--from start to finish. The firm has also developed a robust application that shows the progress of treatment in a fully animated 3D model that can be viewed on a smartphone, computer, or tablet.More recently, the company came out with an AI-based digital plug-in solution that supports treatment planning. Once the software scans the jaws and teeth of a patient and presents those in STL format (stereolithography), the AI solution develops an orthodontic or dental treatment that is best suited for the patient. Doctors can either utilize it to select the right retainer or bracket or customize one according to the needs of the patient. The idea is to support doctors' work and speed up the process chair time. "Normally, after visiting the dentist, the patient receives a treatment plan after five or seven days. This creates cognitive dissonance and impacts a patient's decision-making. But with our software, patients receive the treatment plan immediately at the doctors chair," affirms Markus.Furthermore, through CDB, Hirsch Dynamics also offers personalized ceramic brackets or Polyforce brackets. With their striking aesthetic appearance and ultimate invisibility, the Polyforce brackets serve as an ideal alternative to ceramic brackets, or an ideal bracket set up for a dual More recently, the company came out with an AI-based digital plug-in solution that supports treatment planning
