Father Dr. Domonkos Horvath invented the world’s first latex-free lip and cheek retractor over 20 years ago, today with over 100 million clinical applications across more than 130 countries. His son Dr. Sebastian Horvath brings the demands of modern digital dentistry. Their first joint product: RING. Developed and produced in Germany. Owner-led, self-funded.
RING is an intraoral lip and cheek retractor for treatment and documentation. A clear field for the whole treatment and for scan, photo and video, with a secure fit even during the bite scan.
