Brand name :  DPEARL

DPEARL is a direct-to-consumer orthodontic and oral wellness service that utilizes digital equipment
such as 3D printers and CAD, and remote applications. Until now, it has been said
that more than 50% of people in Japan do not have access to treatment for their teeth,
despite the fact that they need to improve their dental alignment. On the other hand,
the price of orthodontic treatment in Japan is approximately 1 million yen,
and there are concerns about the number of visits to the dentist during the orthodontic treatment period.
Against this backdrop, we conceived the idea of developing DPEARL,
a mouthpiece orthodontic service using 3D technology, in order to deliver orthodontic services
that meet the needs of today’s consumers by creating a digitally streamlined,
unique workflow to a wider audience. By building an efficient workflow,
including the introduction of DX tools in dental clinics,
intermediate costs were reduced by approximately 1/2, reducing the number of visits
and shortening treatment time. Dentists with extensive case experience coordinate plans
that also take into account lifestyle, bringing data-based quality orthodontics and preventive dentistry opportunities to a large number of people.

『DPEARL』は、3DプリンターやCAD等のデジタル機器や遠隔アプリを活用した、
Direct to Consumerの歯科矯正・オーラルウェルネスサービスです。
これまで日本では生活者の約50%以上にとって歯並びの改善が必要であるにも関わらず、治療することができていないと言われてきました。
一方で、歯科矯正の国内価格相場が約100万円にのぼっている事や、矯正期間中の通院回数の多さ等の懸念などから、
日本の歯科業界は他の先進国に比べて大きく遅れを取っている状況が続いてきました。こうした背景から、
当社ではデジタルで効率化した独自のワークフローを構築する事で、現代の生活者のニーズに即した歯科矯正サービスをより多くの人々に届けるべく、
3Dテクノロジーを用いたマウスピース型歯科矯正サービス『DPEARL』の事業開発を着想しました。
歯科医院のDXツール導入を含む効率的なワークフローの構築により中間コストを削減し、約1/2のコストダウンと通院回数の低減、
治療期間の短縮を実現。症例経験豊富な歯科医がライフスタイルも踏まえたプランをコーディネートし、
データに基づく良質な矯正と予防歯科の機会を多くの人々に届けます。
