[NA Eun-kyung, Edaily Reporter] Graphy announced Thursday that it participated in the European Orthodontic Society (EOS) Annual Congress 2026, where it presented its shape-memory aligner (SMA) technology and explored opportunities to expand its presence in the European orthodontics market.

The EOS Annual Congress, one of Europe’s leading scientific meetings in orthodontics, was held June 7–11 at the Convention Centre Dublin. This marked Graphy’s first participation in the conference.

At the exhibition, the company showcased its digital orthodontic solutions based on its proprietary 3D-printing material, Tera Harz, and its shape-memory aligner technology.

Shape-memory aligners are clear orthodontic devices designed to gradually return to their original form over time, applying controlled forces to move teeth. The technology is being developed to improve treatment efficiency and reduce the frequency of aligner replacement compared to conventional clear aligners.

According to the company, discussions during the conference covered potential clinical applications and distribution partnerships with dental professionals and industry participants from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe. Graphy also held business meetings with attendees from countries including Japan, China, Canada, and Australia.

The company stated that it used the event to provide technical support and exchange clinical experiences with existing European users of its products.

Graphy also noted that shape-memory aligner technology was referenced in presentations by several orthodontic researchers and clinicians, including Björn Ludwig, Wada Sabouni, Krishnaswamy Rengarajan, and Wilson Lee.

“We were able to engage with a broad range of clinicians and industry stakeholders through our first participation at EOS,” a Graphy representative said. “We plan to continue pursuing opportunities to expand our presence in Europe, including discussions initiated in the U.K. and Ireland.”
