MVD Advisory Board

At MVD, innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens through collaboration. That’s why we built an advisory board unlike any other; a team of visionary dentists, business strategists, and industry pioneers who serve as our compass, our challengers, and our co-creators. They’re not just advisors. They’re active architects behind our flagship innovations, including the Phantom XY System and Phantom Cloud, shaping every detail to ensure our solutions solve real problems in real clinics.

By fusing frontline clinical experience with bold business thinking, our advisory board ensures that everything we create isn’t just technologically advanced; it’s practically transformative. From early concept sketches to product rollouts, they’re with us every step of the way, pushing boundaries and demanding better.

MVD doesn’t just listen to the dental community. We build with them. With our two pillars guiding our way:  Patient Safety and Digital Quality Assurance.
