Dentsply Sirona Acquires Propel Orthodontics

Dentsply Sirona has acquired the majority of Propel Orthodontics’ assets, including the VPro line of high-frequency vibration devices and the Fastrack mobile app. Propel’s acquired product lines reduce treatment times, and add digital capabilities to Byte and SureSmile to improve patient engagement and treatment monitoring.

After the acquisition, Dentsply Sirona will continue to enhance the VPro Fastrack App, which helps patients and providers remotely monitor the orthodontic treatment plan.

Byte, which was acquired by Dentsply Sirona in December 2020, already includes the VPro product (labeled as HyperByte) in every treatment. Dentsply Sirona will also work on launching new branding as part of the SureSmile portfolio for the professional market after the integration and will continue to sell VPro directly to dental professionals.

Townies Open New CE Center

Drs. Cory Glenn and Ben Kellum have announced the grand opening of Transcend Dental Education, a new continuing education center that specializes in digital dentistry. Participants will be able to learn dental procedures online or in a real-world clinical setting with patients in the chair.

Course topics will include guided implant surgery, digital denture fabrication and full-mouth rehabilitation. The doctors will focus their care efforts on specific patient populations, including those in substance-use disorder recovery, veterans and anyone who otherwise doesn’t have access to the quality treatment needed for good oral health and improved quality of life.

Several dental manufacturers, including Axsys Dental Solutions and Blue Sky Bio, have supported the center by donating products and equipment.
