For service system development, GAC has introduced its "GAC Care" service model, offering leading benefits such as a seven-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty and an eight-year/200,000-kilometer battery warranty. At the same time, GAC will roll out its GSSW global sales and service standard, delivering a high-quality customer experience covering appointment, reception, maintenance, vehicle handover, and after-sales follow-up.
In the new energy ecosystem, GAC will partner with local dealers to provide both DC and AC charging services at dealership locations. New energy vehicle customers will receive complimentary home chargers and emergency charging solutions, advancing Australia's green mobility ecosystem.

GAC Launches Australia Local Strategy with Three New Models Debuting Simultaneously, Unveiling a New Chapter in the South Pacific
SHANGHAI, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Smartee Denti-Technology today announced the addition of Material Choice and Trimline Selection features to its digital case management system SmarteeCheck. Available immediately at the case approval stage, these updates provide clinicians with greater flexibility to further customize treatment plans based on personal preferences and dental condition of individual patients.
Material Choice: Balancing Precision and Comfort
Clinicians can now select between Softer and Standard dental sheets when approving a case. This dual-option approach addresses the advanced clinical understanding that different phases of tooth movement require different mechanical properties.
Smartee's Softer material is suited for treatment stages where patient comfort and initial compliance are priorities, while the Standard material provides the sustained force expression needed for robust control. This functionality allows clinicians to select the appropriate material for each treatment phase without having to switch aligner systems.
Trimline Selection: Evidence from Industry Studies
The update also allows clinicians to choose from three distinct trimline styles at case approval: Classic Scalloped, Scalloped Extended, and Straight.
This feature aligns with recent clinical studies on aligner biomechanics and aesthetics. A systematic review published in BMC Oral Health noted that trimline design influences orthodontic tooth movement efficacy by affecting force delivery and aligner retention. Additionally, an eye-tracking study in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (AJODO) confirmed that different trimline designs impact how aligners are visually perceived.
To meet diverse clinical requirements, the system offers:
- Classic Scalloped Trimline: Precisely conforms to the gingival margin for improved aesthetics and comfort.
- Scalloped Extended Trimline: Extends beyond the margin to enlarge the surface area in the maxillary posterior buccal region for enhanced retention.
- Straight Trimline: A straight horizontal trimming at the gingival zenith, delivering maximum retention force.
Clinical Flexibility
While some clear aligner systems offer a single standard trimline, Smartee's update enables doctors to easily toggle between three distinct styles at case approval. This supports personalized treatment planning by allowing orthodontists to balance retention, force control, and gingival aesthetics according to each patient's specific clinical profile.
Availability
The Material Choice and Trimline Selection features are available globally starting March 31, 2026, for all new case approvals through Smartee's digital case management system.
