(“Dror” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK: DROR), a pioneer in AI-powered orthodontic solutions, today announced that its second-generation ZSmile platform has received regulatory approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health’s AMAR Division, the authority responsible for medical device regulation in Israel.
The approval clears the path for Dror to bring to market a breakthrough orthodontic solution in that corrects patients’ smiles overnight, eliminating the need to wear clear plastic aligners during waking hours. Powered by proprietary pulsating air technology delivered through a smart nighttime appliance, ZSmile represents a fundamental reimagining of how orthodontic treatment is delivered.

“Receiving AMAR approval is a critical milestone in bringing ZSmile to the millions of people who want to correct their smile while they sleep,” said Lee Haddad, Chief Executive Officer of Dror. “ZSmile doesn’t just improve on existing solutions; it redefines what patients should expect from orthodontic care. We believe that there is pent-up demand for a solution that avoids the pain, inconvenience, and social discomfort associated with traditional aligner-based treatments, a gap that has gone largely unaddressed for more than a decade.”
Asaf Gur, Dror’s Regulatory and Quality Assurance Director, who brings 25 years of medical device development and regulatory expertise, added: “Our engineering teams have achieved a meaningful advancement of our core technology while maintaining full alignment with the treatment criteria validated in our FDA- and CE-cleared clinical trials.
