KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — **_Smartee Denti-Technology_**
launched Smartee AG KIDS, a craniofacial growth guidance system designed for growing
patients, in Malaysia. The launch was accompanied by a one-day clinical course attended
by **130 dental professionals, **focusing on the fundamentals of craniofacial growth,
along with the clinical screening protocols and the practical application of the
AG KIDS system.

The one-day course, titled "Airway & Growth," was led by Dr Yue Weng Cheu, Clinical
Director of DP Dental in Singapore, who led the key clinical collaborators involved
in the development of AG KIDS.

The program opened with clinical cases illustrating dentofacial and airway-related
growth changes in children. Subsequent sessions explored the science of craniofacial
growth and the airway, including the dentist’s role in early identification, followed
by a three-domain screening approach covering screening for sleep-related breathing
and bidirectional referral to sleep physicians or ENTs.

The course also introduced the clinical application of **AG KIDS, **including case
submission, treatment workflow,  and clinical support.

A Three-Dimensional Craniofacial Growth Guidance Framework

AG KIDS is a craniofacial growth guidance system designed for growing patients aged
3 to 16 years. The system applies a three-dimensional framework to the management
of arch form, vertical dimension and mandibular position, with alignment achieved
within the broader growth-guidance process.

Its integrated configuration includes the Smartee S8-SGHB PLUS for sagittal and 
vertical control, S11 Palatal Device for transverse expansion, and K4 JOY-JOY and
K5 SMILEY-SMILEY for myofunctional support. Dentists using AG KIDS are also supported
by a dedicated algorithm designed to assist with case planning on the SMARTEECHECK
platform.

Throughout the program, Dr. Yue emphasized **the dentist’s role in early identification
and screening **while maintaining a clear diagnostic boundary: formal diagnosis 
of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs), including obstructive sleep apnoea,
remains within the appropriate medical scope.

Clinical Perspectives on Early Assessment and Interdisciplinary Collaboration

**Dr. Chen Ye Hong**, **Founding President of the Malaysian Dentofacial Sleep Society(
MDSS)**, who attended the course, highlighted the importance of looking beyond tooth
alignment when evaluating children.

"Early orthodontic care should move beyond simply straightening teeth to supporting
healthy facial growth and function. Children should be assessed for breathing patterns,
airway health, tongue function, and sleep quality as part of a broader clinical 
evaluation. Closer collaboration between orthodontists, sleep dentists, ENT specialists,
and other healthcare professionals is essential," said Dr. Chen.

His perspective reflected the course’s focus on **early identification, screening,
and appropriate referral**, as well as interdisciplinary collaboration between dental
and medical professionals.

Drawing on his involvement in the development of AG KIDS and his clinical experience
with growing patients, Dr. Yue also emphasized the importance of keeping pace with
developments in research and clinical practice while establishing appropriate interdisciplinary
workflows.

"We need to keep abreast of the research, clinical applications and treatment systems,
while establishing clear workflows with our medical colleagues and allied health
partners," said Dr. Yue.

The Malaysia launch marks a further step in Smartee’s development of its portfolio
for growing patients and its ongoing clinical education initiatives. Through continued
product development, professional education and collaboration with clinicians, Smartee
aims to support clinicians in applying structured approaches to the management of
craniofacial growth in growing patients.
