The Future of Orthodontics: AI-Driven Custom Braces and… — Transcript

Hello, I'm Dr. Mehdi Peikar and in this podcast, Dean and I will talk about Celebrace, you'll learn about how AI will be in your clinic, in your device, in your digital braces.

Well, hello everybody out there in podcast land. This is Dean Steinman from Ortho Marketing. And guess what? We are back with another podcast for you.

Yes. So, I am very excited for today's guest, but of course, let's take one step back and hope everybody is having a great day, hopefully you're all smile today, and making a difference in people's lives.

Obviously, everybody who's listening to this, the dental world, and your job is to make people smile, so hopefully you made somebody smile today, and if you did, it's a good day. So, with that said, I'm smiling because we have a new guest here that I'd love to introduce everybody to and to learn the story, and it's very great story.

As you know, I have many guests on before who are orthodontists, dentists that start technology companies, and we have another one here that's got a great story, and I always like to hear their journey.

So, with that said, I am very psyched to have Dr. Mehdi Peikar here, and he is the founder of Celebrace.

Mehdi, welcome, how are you today? Uh, thank you.

I'm great.

And before we start, I wanted to thank you, Dean, for having me.

My pleasure, I'm so glad you're, uh, you could join.

Um, you know, we were introduced from a mutual friend.

And it'd be my my pleasure to, um, to have you join and tell a little bit about your story.

So, before we we jump into it, um, Mehdi, tell us, tell us a little bit about you.

You have an interesting story and your background, so why don't you tell us a little bit about, uh, Dr. Mehdi Peikar?

Yeah, sure.

Um, so, I'm originally from Iran, um, and I moved to the US in 2011, um, actually before coming to the US, I was a dentist and also I did my residency there in Iran.

Um, and I was a faculty there for a year, and then I came to the US and my I loved physics and, uh, always my dream was to study, do a PhD in physics, uh, in the US and then, okay, and condensed matter.

Uh, and then I moved to Johns Hopkins to complete my PhD in biomechanics, so I finished my, uh, PhD there, uh, in at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, and then, um, after this, you know, uh, during all, uh, during that time, I had the idea for basically digital orthodontics to be able to use technology for patients.

And, um, I kind of stumbled into entrepreneurship world, I wanted to, uh, uh, bring this idea, these ideas that I had for digital orthodontics to the world, and, uh, I noticed that if I do a second round of residency, you know, it will be easier that I can try it on patients myself to be able to improve it.

So, I went to UCLA, uh, in 2016 and, uh, I did a second round of residency there.

And during this time, I was working on my previous company called Breus Independent Movers, Bravo Bay Breus, um, which is a lingual system, and it's very biomechanics heavy.

Um, and then, um, after this, you know, Breus is going, uh, the company is growing, but I, uh, during all this time, I was also thinking about Celebrace.

And I tell you a little bit about Celebrace, Celebrace is a labial system, um, 100% custom, uh, braces, uh, that are made of metal, and, uh, we use, uh, an IDB to place those on the teeth.

And the customization is basically has different aspects, one is the base of the bracket, because we 3D print in metal, they perfectly fit the tooth, and, um, that's one aspect of the customization, the other aspect is the slot of the brackets, uh, those are also, uh, 100% custom.

As you know, like with traditional braces, uh, you know, like we always use MBT, or we use like prescription like Roth, but when I, you know, when I used to think about it, I was like, how is that even possible?

You know, when you do your aligner, you never say you use MBT prescription for torques and tips, or you don't use Roth prescription, you just use the treatment plan for this patient.

This custom, you make it the aligner custom for the patient.

Wow, now I'm I'm doing I'm in this industry for a while now, and I've always been amazed at how something like braces or aligners cannot be 100% custom for each person, because everybody has their own unique plan that they need.

And they have a their unique message and a unique smile that has to be moved a certain way, so let's take a step back, how was this industry even moving forward if something is not custom?

Are you putting a square peg in a round hole and hoping it fits?

You know, I'm I'm the educator us on how it was and how the how do you get results of something that was not custom, or was it just not the results that you wanted?

Yeah, it's a great question and maybe in orthodontics for more than 100 years, we are so used to it that, uh, we don't appreciate the fact that we are just using the same bracket, one size fits all.

It's go it's like you go to the shoe store and they only have like size 9.5, and kind of works, but it's not comfortable, right?

The same for braces, and you know, if we step back, we think about like the history of, um, orthodontics, you know, we at, you know, first we had like a standard edgewise, so the doctors had to like put all the torques in the wire.

And after that, which is very, I mean, I have tried it during my residency, and this is so tedious, after that was straight wires like MBT and Roth, which is a huge step, it's average.

Basically, you do still it's one size fits all, but you're looking at the average, those prescriptions are work for average.

And it's like it takes you, it doesn't take you exactly to your destination, you know, this is the analogy sometimes I use, it's like you take a taxi, it takes you like five blocks from your home, or your destination, okay?

At the the end of it, you have to somehow get to your destination, and with traditional braces, with MBT, basically, we still have to do a little bit of wire bending, and sometimes that takes much longer than like the the trip that we get to like five blocks from the destination, so what we are focusing on is we give the right torque, right tip, based on the treatment plan the doctor approved.

And the prescription is going to be is not going to be MBT or Roth, it's going to be exactly just for this patient, custom for this patient.

Wow, now I'm I'm doing I'm in this industry for a while now, and I've always been amazed at how something like braces or aligners cannot be 100% custom for each person, because everybody has their own unique plan that they need.

And they have a their unique message and a unique smile that has to be moved a certain way, so let's take a step back, how was this industry even moving forward if something is not custom?

Are you putting a square peg in a round hole and hoping it fits?

You know, I'm I'm the educator us on how it was and how the how do you get results of something that was not custom, or was it just not the results that you wanted?

Yeah, it's a great question and maybe in orthodontics for more than 100 years, we are so used to it that, uh, we don't appreciate the fact that we are just using the same bracket, one size fits all.

It's go it's like you go to the shoe store and they only have like size 9.5, and kind of works, but it's not comfortable, right?

The same for braces, and you know, if we step back, we think about like the history of, um, orthodontics, you know, we at, you know, first we had like a standard edgewise, so the doctors had to like put all the torques in the wire.

And after that, which is very, I mean, I have tried it during my residency, and this is so tedious, after that was straight wires like MBT and Roth, which is a huge step, it's average.

Basically, you do still it's one size fits all, but you're looking at the average, those prescriptions are work for average.

And it's like it takes you, it doesn't take you exactly to your destination, you know, this is the analogy sometimes I use, it's like you take a taxi, it takes you like five blocks from your home, or your destination, okay?

And it's like it takes you, it doesn't take you exactly to your destination, you know, this is the analogy sometimes I use, it's like you take a taxi, it takes you like five blocks from your home, or your destination, okay?

At the the end of it, you have to somehow get to your destination, and with traditional braces, with MBT, basically, we still have to do a little bit of wire bending, and sometimes that takes much longer than like the the trip that we get to like five blocks from the destination, so what we are focusing on is we give the right torque, right tip, based on the treatment plan the doctor approved.

And the prescription is going to be is not going to be MBT or Roth, it's going to be exactly just for this patient, custom for this patient.

Wow, now I'm I'm doing I'm in this industry for a while now, and I've always been amazed at how something like braces or aligners cannot be 100% custom for each person, because everybody has their own unique plan that they need.

And they have a their unique message and a unique smile that has to be moved a certain way, so let's take a step back, how was this industry even moving forward if something is not custom?

Are you putting a square peg in a round hole and hoping it fits?

You know, I'm I'm the educator us on how it was and how the how do you get results of something that was not custom, or was it just not the results that you wanted?

Yeah, it's a great question and maybe in orthodontics for more than 100 years, we are so used to it that, uh, we don't appreciate the fact that we are just using the same bracket, one size fits all.

It's go it's like you go to the shoe store and they only have like size 9.5, and kind of works, but it's not comfortable, right?

The same for braces, and you know, if we step back, we think about like the history of, um, orthodontics, you know, we at, you know, first we had like a standard edgewise, so the doctors had to like put all the torques in the wire.

And after that, which is very, I mean, I have tried it during my residency, and this is so tedious, after that was straight wires like MBT and Roth, which is a huge step, it's average.

The same for braces, and you know, if we step back, we think about like the history of, um, orthodontics, you know, we at, you know, first we had like a standard edgewise, so the doctors had to like put all the torques in the wire.

And after that, which is very, I mean, I have tried it during my residency, and this is so tedious, after that was straight wires like MBT and Roth, which is a huge step, it's average.

Basically, you do still it's one size fits all, but you're looking at the average, those prescriptions are work for average.

And it's like it takes you, it doesn't take you exactly to your destination, you know, this is the analogy sometimes I use, it's like you take a taxi, it takes you like five blocks from your home, or your destination, okay?

At the the end of it, you have to somehow get to your destination, and with traditional braces, with MBT, basically, we still have to do a little bit of wire bending, and sometimes that takes much longer than like the the trip that we get to like five blocks from the destination, so what we are focusing on is we give the right torque, right tip, based on the treatment plan the doctor approved.

And the prescription is going to be is not going to be MBT or Roth, it's going to be exactly just for this patient, custom for this patient.

Wow, now I'm I'm doing I'm in this industry for a while now, and I've always been amazed at how something like braces or aligners cannot be 100% custom for each person, because everybody has their own unique plan that they need.

And they have a their unique message and a unique smile that has to be moved a certain way, so let's take a step back, how was this industry even moving forward if something is not custom?

Are you putting a square peg in a round hole and hoping it fits?

You know, I'm I'm the educator us on how it was and how the how do you get results of something that was not custom, or was it just not the results that you wanted?

Yeah, it's a great question and maybe in orthodontics for more than 100 years, we are so used to it that, uh, we don't appreciate the fact that we are just using the same bracket, one size fits all.

You know, I'm I'm the educator us on how it was and how the how do you get results of something that was not custom, or was it just not the results that you wanted? Yeah, it's a great question and maybe in orthodontics for more than 100 years, we are so used to it that, uh, we don't appreciate the fact that we are just using the same bracket, one size fits all. It's go it's like you go to the shoe store and they only have like size 9.5, and kind of works, but it's not comfortable, right? The same for braces, and you know, if we step back, we think about like the history of, um, orthodontics, you know, we at, you know, first we had like a standard edgewise, so the doctors had to like put all the torques in the wire. And after that, which is very, I mean, I have tried it during my residency, and this is so tedious, after that was straight wires like MBT and Roth, which is a huge step, it's average. Basically, you do still it's one size fits all, but you're looking at the average, those prescriptions are work for average. And it's like it takes you, it doesn't take you exactly to your destination, you know, this is the analogy sometimes I use, it's like you take a taxi, it takes you like five blocks from your home, or your destination, okay? At the the end of it, you have to somehow get to your destination, and with traditional braces, with MBT, basically, we still have to do a little bit of wire bending, and sometimes that takes much longer than like the the trip that we get to like five blocks from the destination, so what we are focusing on is we give the right torque, right tip, based on the treatment plan the doctor approved. And the prescription is going to be is not going to be MBT or Roth, it's going to be exactly just for this patient, custom for this patient. Wow, now I'm I'm doing I'm in this industry for a while now, and I've always been amazed at how something like braces or aligners cannot be 100% custom for each person, because everybody has their own unique plan that they need. And they have a their unique message and a unique smile that has to be moved a certain way, so let's take a step back, how was this industry even moving forward if something is not custom?
