What Smartee does

Smartee (正雅齿科科技) is a Shanghai-based orthodontic technology company founded in 2004 that designs, manufactures, and sells customized invisible (clear) aligners to dental professionals across 50+ countries. Its product portfolio spans a complete clinical complexity range—from pediatric early-intervention aligners (咬合诱导版, 早期矫治版) through mainstream adult products (经典版 GE, 悦享版 YX, 航天版, GII, GI, 六要素版) to complex skeletal case solutions (GS版 with S8-S20 mandibular repositioning technology co-developed with the Shen Gang Orthodontics team at Taikang Dental). The company's technical stack combines 3D printing, CAD/CAM design, proprietary polymer materials (Diamond II multi-layer film), and an AI-augmented SmarteeCheck digital case management platform for treatment planning and tooth movement simulation.

Smartee generates revenue primarily through B2B sales of customized aligner series to orthodontic clinics and dental practices, with products prescribed and supervised by licensed clinicians. Additional revenue comes from Disney and Marvel IP licensing for branded pediatric products (Smartee Teen, launched 2021). Distribution is anchored by three intelligent manufacturing bases—Jiaxing Science City (Zhejiang), China Dental Valley in Ziyang (Sichuan, with subsidiaries Sichuan Zhengmei Dental Technology and Sichuan Yaqi Medical Technology), and Madrid, Spain (operational since 2024)—enabling localized production for Chinese, European, and Belt-and-Road export markets. The go-to-market is professional-led: academic conferences (EOS, SEDO, EAS, regional events), clinical training programs, and direct sales to orthodontists rather than direct-to-consumer channels. The company has cumulatively raised approximately 2.6 billion RMB across angel/A/B, Series C (2019), and Series D (2022-2023) rounds, employs 2,000+ people globally, and holds 1,060+ patent applications with 784 granted patents as of early 2026.
