ORB Innovations Acquired by Glidewell (U.S.) for Development of Smart Oral
Appliances Technology

U.K. start-up expands the reach of its revolutionary performance and wellness
tracking technology to consumers in the U.S.

 

The ORB technology platform is effectively the world's only fitness tracker
wearable in the mouth. In some sports, it is also the only wearable that can
be worn during competitive activities.

Robert Paterson, CEO and cofounder of ORB Innovations, said, "We are thrilled
to join the Glidewell family. As one of the largest dental companies in the
world, with a 50-year track record of pioneering new technology, we feel we
have found a natural home. The acquisition will allow us to accelerate the
launch of our unique platform in the U.S. and to increase the pace of our
research and development in other areas. Together, ORB Innovations and
Glidewell will bring to market a whole range of smart oral products that will
provide flexible new options for health-conscious consumers."

Glidewell has a formidable record of technological innovation since its
founding in 1970, but this acquisition marks the first investment in smart
dental products in its expansive portfolio.

Glidewell CEO Stephenie Goddard said, "We see the platform the ORB team has
developed as an exciting evolution for the sports market. And it's easy to
envision application in other wellness-related areas, in line with Glidewell's
mission to bring innovative solutions to dental practitioners and their
patients all over the world."

Electrical engineers, software developers, sports and data scientists, and
other technology enthusiasts in the U.K. are encouraged to visit
