What makes this world bright is not sunshine, but smiles. ——Yu Minhong
As the saying goes: "Those who love to laugh will not have bad luck." But in life, many people's teeth are not perfect. Because of the defects of the teeth, they dare not show them when they laugh. According to data, 70% of people in China have uneven teeth that need correction. With the improvement of modern people's aesthetics, people are paying more and more attention to oral health and beauty, so many dental correction products have been produced, especially braces, with many types.
In the early years, braces were made of steel, which were painful and inconvenient. Now a new type of braces is sweeping China, that is, invisible braces. Its technology is very advanced, it is very less painful and the correction time is short. , and does not affect the appearance. The inventor and creator of this technology is Li Huamin, CEO of Times Angel Group.
Smiling Angel
Li Huamin was born in a medical family. His father was a famous dental surgeon. He started his own business in his early years and opened a dental hospital. Li Huamin, who has been in the hospital with her father since she was a child, has seen many patients, big and small, and is familiar with various dental problems. The ones that impressed her most were the orthodontic patients. Because technology was not developed at that time, many patients needed orthodontic treatment. Patients wear steel braces. Steel braces are a technology that first uses a metal piece to stick to the surface of the teeth, and then connects the metal buckles with metal wires. The pressure of the metal wires is used to slowly merge the teeth.
This kind of correction is painful and inconvenient. Every time this kind of correction is performed, the patient needs to eat liquid food for several days and undergo frequent reexamination, which is very troublesome. And the correction period was very ugly. At that time, Li Huamin secretly thought: It would be great if I could invent a kind of braces that is both beautiful and convenient when I grow up.
However, when he grew up, Li Huamin did not inherit his father's mantle, but became a manager. But she did not jump out of the dental circle, and still paid attention to the information of dental medicine all the time. In 2003, at a friend's party, Li Huamin accidentally learned that Tsinghua University and Capital Medical University were researching an invisible braces, but they were unable to continue the research because of a lack of funding.
This incident stirred up waves in Li Huamin's heart. She remembered her childhood ideals and made up her mind. After returning home, she went to her father to talk about the matter in detail and wanted to continue the development with him. Her father readily agreed. Afterwards, Li Huamin and her father contacted professors at Tsinghua University and jointly funded the acquisition of this technology. , founded Angel of the Times.
Encountered setbacks
In the early days of the establishment of Times Angel, Li Huamin encountered many difficulties, because this technology was still in the research stage and there was no return in the short term, and this new type of oral cavity The industry requires new design and production, both from the source of materials and finished products, and Li Huamin's investment quickly ran out.
In order to persevere, she and her father borrowed money from relatives and friends, but the borrowed funds were only a drop in the bucket and could not be sustained at all. For several months, they could not even pay wages. During those few months, Li Huamin couldn't sleep almost every day, and her hair fell out in large amounts. In order to save this angel of the times whose life was hanging by a thread, Li Huamin decided to raise financing and set his sights on Orbo Capital.
Orbo Capital is an investment company focusing on the biomedical field. When Li Huamin first approached its person in charge and blurted out his project, he was rejected by the person in charge because at that time, the project was not yet available. In the initial stage, Orbo Capital could not estimate when it would see returns. Li Huamin was unwilling to give in and relied on connections to find people again and again. Finally, the emperor paid off. With Li Huamin’s efforts, Orbo Capital decided to invest US$6 million! After receiving the financing, Li Huamin couldn't restrain his excitement and burst into tears.
After that, Li Huamin and his team went deep into technology development. Two years later, after breaking through the difficulties of invisible braces, Angel of the Times finally ushered in the dawn of the future. Major breakthroughs have been made in medicine and other aspects!
After more than ten years of development, Times Angel has become the first company in the world to own multiple invisible correction products. It has more than 80 invention patents in technology research and development and application, and it also owns the world’s largest and most Complete dental database! More and more people are using her products for oral correction, and Li Huamin finally realized her childhood dream.
Clinical Design Integrated
Li Huamin herself is a management student. She has also made detailed plans for the future of Times Angel, in order to give her employees a better In terms of development, Li Huamin also creatively proposed a strategy. In Angel of the Times, one person can play two roles, the clinician and the design doctor. During the R&D and design process, they will embed customers' needs and ideas into the design, and the designed products will better meet customer requirements. This is one of the reasons why Time Angel has always been sought after by customers.
In addition, after becoming a designer, doctors are exposed to more abnormal teaching plans and can have a larger platform to learn, which is also very good for their personal development.
Invisible braces are becoming more and more popular, and the people who use them have grown from young people to old, middle-aged and children. Everyone has seen the advantages of this technology, compared with traditional steel braces. In comparison, invisible braces bring a more comfortable and safer experience to consumers, and do not require frequent follow-up visits, which greatly saves patients' time. Even when wearing these braces, there is no need to cover up, it is completely OK Laugh if you want.
Many patients who have undergone correction say they have never been so comfortable wearing braces, and the correction effect is even better than other methods! Now, many Chinese people can laugh with confidence!
In this way, Li Huamin's team has grown bigger and bigger, from a dozen people at the beginning to more than a thousand people now. Many doctors working there have become leaders in oral medicine. Li Huamin used her keen vision and delicate mind to develop Angel of the Times more and more successfully. Later, she also discussed cooperation with the General Administration of Sports. She said: "Athletes represent the country. I hope they can win the award when they win." Smiling brightly without any burden. "In just over a year, Angel of the Times came to the athletes. After correction, many athletes showed their Chinese style on the field.
As soon as Li Huamin’s deeds were reported by the media, everyone got to know this gentle and kind-hearted strong woman. Hupan University, where Jack Ma was studying, paid great attention to her, gave her a thumbs up, and specially recruited her to enroll as a graduate. One of the 41 students. When someone asked Li Huamin about his journey in the past twenty years, Li Huamin said frankly: "Although I have had difficulties in the past twenty years, I never regret it, because this technology has made many Chinese people smile."
