About

Dr. Yong-min Jo is a leading innovator in orthodontic materials and digital dentistry, best known for pioneering the development of CAD/CAM-fabricated nickel-titanium lingual retainers. His seminal 2017 paper, "Memotain: A CAD/CAM nickel-titanium lingual retainer," has garnered 84 citations and introduced a transformative approach to post-treatment retention, merging the superelastic properties of nickel-titanium with precise digital manufacturing. This work has significantly advanced patient comfort and long-term stability in orthodontics. Beyond this flagship contribution, Dr. Jo’s research spans the biomechanics of orthodontic appliances, the optimization of 3D-printed aligners, and the clinical integration of artificial intelligence for treatment planning. His studies are widely cited for bridging the gap between traditional orthodontic principles and modern digital workflows, influencing both clinical practice and material science. With a growing citation impact and a reputation for translating engineering concepts into practical clinical solutions, Dr. Jo continues to shape the future of customized, efficient orthodontic care.
