Christina Gordon’s invention, the Proxy-Flosser, was one of five projects to receive funding from VCU’s Commercialization Fund. The device allows patients with braces to floss and clean around braces in one motion in less time.
Ms. Gordon is working with engineering consulting company Spark Product Development and VCU Innovation Gateway, which aims to assist with the commercialization of university inventions. She plans to finalize a prototype and pursue a patent for the device next.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
