Grand Rapids, Michigan, April 17, 2017 – OrVance® will introduce the next generation of OrthoDots® which is now highly preferred over dental wax by both orthodontists and patients. OrthoDots® offer an easier and more effective application that stays on much longer than dental wax. The new OrthoDots® will provide all the same benefits, plus it works even better, will provide a new easy-open packaging, and will be over 50% less expensive than the first generation product.
The company says it has invested in the newest technology based on very consistent feedback from its customers.
“When we launched OrthoDots® back in 2015, we expected it to be more of a niche item in the market for some patients that suffered from chronic irritation and abrasions. However, we learned that OrthoDots® would be preferred by most Orthodontists as the replacement to dental wax if we could hit a more competitive price target than our first product,” said Ron Schutt, Managing Partner/President of OrVance®. “So to accomplish this, we have set out to invent an even better technology, that is much more scalable and will be sold for much less than the first generation OrthoDots® product.”
OrthoDots® is the only product on the market with a moisture-activated adhesive which is now imbedded within a medical-grade silicone blend. The silicone material used in OrthoDots® is over 30 times more pliable than the leading brand of dental wax, preventing the crumbling associated with traditional wax products. The result is a new patent-pending product that works even better and can be made in high volumes at a much lower cost.
Additionally, the new OrthoDots® will have an easy-open hygienic packaging feature, just like a bandage. “Rather than reinvent the wheel, we invested in this packaging technology since we know it is the most preferred package for similar healthcare products,” said Dr. Mike Silver, co-inventor of OrthoDots®. “Not only is the product easier and faster to apply, it is also in a single-use hygienic package, just like all other products that are used in a healthcare setting.”
Dr. Scott Tyler, Orthodontist in Michigan and Advisor to OrVance® said, “Given the many benefits the new OrthoDots® provide over wax, I can’t imagine why any progressive Ortho practice would continue to dispense the bulk dental wax to their patients.” There is also nothing like the OrthoDots® ProPack on the market for fast and hygienic chairside application.”
Free sample kits are available to all Orthodontic practices and resident programs at OrVance.com. OrthoDots® are available from several major suppliers – learn where to buy. OrthoDots® is the flagship product launch by OrVance®, which is a new venture out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, focused on developing proprietary new products for orthodontic treatment.
