FAQ
How does NovaBend™ differ from in-practice bending devices?
NovaBend™ is an in-practice bending robot, not a simple bending device. It represents a major clinical and technological step forward compared to the bending solutions currently on the market.
NovaBend™ is the only bending robot capable of 3D bending at the 2nd order with sub-millimetre precision.
NovaBend™ is the only bending robot that covers all clinical cases, including the maxillary arch and complex cases.
NovaBend™ is the only bending robot that integrates a clinical design AI, iForm™, trained on over 30,000 patient cases, enabling perfect physiological and clinical adaptation.
NovaBend™ is the only bending robot that designs and bends retainers by simultaneously accounting for physiological, mechanical and clinical constraints.
NovaBend™ is the only bending robot that delivers a passive wire in less than 90 seconds.
What is the clinical validation behind NovaBend™?
WinnoveMED retainers are backed by over 30,000 placements, 6 years of clinical follow-up, active collaborations with AP-HM (CHU Timone, Marseille) and AP-HP (CHU Pitié-Salpêtrière, Paris), and a research partnership with the Applied Biomechanics Laboratory at Aix-Marseille University.
NovaBend™ is built on the same technology and the same clinical foundation as our retainers, and therefore benefits from the same level of clinical validation.
