Born2Smile
We offer a solution to the problem of expensive dentures that many cannot afford. Dentures that need to be individualized are time-consuming to build, require a number of visits to the dentists, and are expensive. Utilizing 3D modeling and 3D printing technology, we are aiming to provide dentures that are much less expensive. We want to provide 3D-printed dentures free of cost to those who cannot afford the currently available dentures.

Our Mission
To provide inexpensively, 3D printed complete removable dentures free of cost for edentulous in developing countries and in the US who cannot afford these.
The Need
Dentures are the cheapest alternatives for edentulous patients. The sound of soft C and the letter S can be best done with a full set of teeth. Dentures improve nutrition by being able to consume a variety of foods. They also improve the facial sag and give a good smile and improve confidence.
Our Mission
To provide inexpensively, 3D printed complete removable dentures free of cost for edentulous in developing countries and in the US who cannot afford these.
Using 3-D printing technology we are aiming to make low-cost dentures. Currently available dentures cost anywhere from $5000. We are trying to bring their cost to under $50. By keeping the overall costs down, we can reach out to the more edentulous population who require dentures. We are constantly improving the workflow to minimize the number of visits to dentists and reduce costs. We also want to provide our technology to pre-dental students who are interested in community service, so that they can help us create more dentures.
It is possible to improve the access to dentures by reducing the number of visits to dentists and minimizing the need for dental labs and technicians utilizing 3D printing technology.

Impact
The number of edentulous (completely toothless) individuals worldwide is estimated
to be around 158 million as of January 2022.
The prevalence of edentulism, or tooth loss, is a significant public health concern with far-reaching implications. This analysis delves into the varied factors contributing to edentulism, exploring its prevalence in different demographics and regions globally.
Demographic Disparities
Rural-Urban Divide
Edentulism is more pronounced in rural areas compared to urban settings. This discrepancy highlights potential disparities in access to dental care and preventive measures.
Age and Gender Trends
Advancing age is a consistent predictor of edentulism, with no discernible difference between males and females. This emphasizes the importance of age-appropriate dental care for the aging population.
Denture Utilization Patterns
Low Denture Adoption Rates
Despite the need, there is a notable hesitancy towards denture adoption. Merely 50% of those requiring complete dentures choose to wear them, and a mere 13% of those in need of partial dentures opt for their use.
Rural Elderly Needs
The dental needs of the rural elderly population surpass those of their urban counterparts. This underscores the necessity for targeted dental health initiatives in rural areas.
Dietary Impact
Vegetarian vs. Non-vegetarian Influence
Dietary choices play a role in edentulism, with vegetarians exhibiting a higher incidence compared to non-vegetarians. Understanding these correlations can inform dietary counseling and preventive strategies.
Global Perspective
International Comparisons
The issue transcends borders, as evidenced by global comparisons. In the United States, 25% of individuals over 60 experience edentulism, while Brazil faces a staggering 54% prevalence. In Mexico, the prevalence is 25%. These statistics highlight the urgency for comprehensive dental health strategies on a global scale.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the multifaceted nature of edentulism demands targeted interventions that address demographic, cultural, and geographical nuances. A holistic approach to dental health, encompassing preventive measures, accessible care, and awareness campaigns, is essential to mitigate the impact of edentulism on individuals and communities worldwide
