"Do you think the work of a dental hygienist is limited to prevention and clinical assistance?" On Monday, November 17, 2025, a special practical class was held at Kanazawa Medical Technology College in Ishikawa Prefecture to help students aiming to become dental hygienists understand the field of orthodontics. This project, conducted jointly by Oh my teeth, which operates the clear aligner brand "Oh my teeth," and the general incorporated association OralX, provided students with hands-on experience using 3D intraoral scanners and dialogue with active dental hygienists.

(The article details the industry challenges regarding early turnover, the hands-on experience with digital orthodontics, student feedback, the school's educational structure, and future expansion plans.)

Kanazawa Medical Technology College (ISIS) is committed to contributing to regional healthcare and fostering practical talent ready for clinical settings. A unique feature is its promotion of a double license for "Dental Hygienist" and "Dental Technician." Starting in fiscal year 2026, it will rename its department to "Dental Hygiene and Technology Department" to cultivate professionals with multifaceted perspectives in the increasingly digitized dental industry. Oh my teeth and OralX intend to continue expanding this initiative with educational institutions nationwide.
