A dedicated research team, including Prof. Ibrahim bin Sulaiman Al-Shahrani and Dr. Ali bin Hassan Al-Haizai, Orthodontist and Maxillofacial Consultant at King Faisal Medical City in Abha, has secured their second patent from the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property.
This breakthrough involves an adjustable orthodontic bracket that enhances treatment precision, reduces material waste, and preserves tooth root integrity—modernizing a technique that remained unchanged for 50 years.
This achievement marks another milestone in their ongoing efforts since 2019, following their first patent in 2020 for a height-adjustable orthodontic tool. Their innovations aim to refine orthodontic technologies, making treatments more efficient and patient-friendly.
