Overview
TriAgenics' Zero3 TBA Technology Offers Surgery-Free Prevention of Wisdom Teeth
TriAgenics has developed a technology called Zero3 TBA that has the potential to revolutionize how the dental industry treats wisdom teeth. Zero3 TBA is a minimally invasive procedure designed for kids ages 6-12 in order to prevent wisdom teeth from ever forming. Zero3 TBA will be quick and is expected to have no significant recovery time or significant complications. With a 100% success rate in animal trials, TriAgenics is working to obtain FDA clearance. Assuming that TriAgenics receives clearance, we then plan to conduct human clinical trials in order to have specific safety data to present before going to market. Our goal is to enter the market with first sales in 2024. Our business model is similar to Align Technology’s clear braces. Licensed dentists will send TriAgenics their patients’ x-rays and prescription for Zero3 TBA treatment. TriAgenics will then fabricate custom 3TBA guides and sell them to dentists for an estimated $350 per tooth bud treated.
THE PROBLEM & OUR SOLUTION
Eliminating Wisdom Teeth With Zero3 TBA Technology
Patients underestimate recovery time after having all wisdom teeth extracted. On average, patients miss 2.5 days of work or school because the surgical procedure is highly invasive. When wisdom teeth are allowed to form, they are the most likely teeth to be impacted. This makes them prone to trapping food and bacteria, leading to repeated, expensive treatment later in life. More than 5 million patients in the U.S. spend over $3 billion annually on wisdom teeth extractions or treatments, and more than 80% of all wisdom teeth eventually need to be removed. Zero3 TBA has the potential to prevent the pain, cost, and recovery time associated with wisdom teeth extractions (Source | Source).
We believe Zero3 TBA will deliver better lifelong outcomes for the patient. This minimally invasive treatment is designed to prevent wisdom teeth from ever forming and it is expected to eliminate common complications following wisdom teeth extraction. The treatment takes just 60-90 seconds per tooth bud treated, with the overall procedure estimated at 30 minutes start to finish to treat four tooth buds on one child, and is designed to be easy for dentists to deliver.
the market & Our Traction
A $2.5 Billion Market Opportunity With Our Advanced Technology
We estimate the total addressable market for TriAgenics’ Zero3 TBA products to be more than $2.5 billion annually. U.S. consumers spend more than $3 billion every year for wisdom tooth extractions and treatment of secondary problems caused by wisdom teeth (Source). More than 80% of wisdom teeth are impacted or do not erupt normally, causing significant dental infections and pain (Source). More than 80% of all wisdom teeth will need to be removed.
We believe TriAgenics is on the brink of revolutionizing dental health with our Zero3 TBA technology. We aim to become the new standard of care for managing wisdom teeth within 10 years of our introduction. Zero3 TBA is a high-precision, minimally invasive procedure designed to eliminate the common complications associated with having wisdom teeth extracted, providing a safer and more effective alternative for kids and parents alike. The fully guided ablation cycle takes just 60 to 90 seconds per tooth bud treated (with the overall procedure estimated at 30 minutes start to finish for four tooth buds) and is designed to be easy for dentists to deliver. Zero3 TBA will be quick and is expected to have no significant recovery time or significant complications. Our founder is an experienced dentist who has successfully launched three startups in the past. We have received positive reactions from dentists, with oral surgeons and pediatric specialists contacting us to learn more about Zero3 TBA.

Will the procedure require anesthesia? What is anticipated for the post-procedure course as far as pain, aftercare? What the suspected risks of the procedure? Do you anticipate this being something that requires an oral surgeon or dentist or will it be simple enough that another type of physician may be able to perform the procedure?

How are you spending the money? What is your burn rate? How and when do you plan to return investor money, at what rate, how much? How do you plan to address concerns about losing the ability for 3rd molar substitution?

As this round of fund raising comes to a close, I would like to commend Dr. Colby and his team. For developing this product and for getting word out about the opportunity. Seeing it on my Instagram feed gives me optimism that, when it is brought to market, it will be promoted well and that will help make its launch very successful.

Is the unit simple to operate as much as a high volume spa could have an add on service to be able to scan a customer if they have a skin lesion and direct them to contact their doctor? Or is the unit require extensive training, customization for skin tone, age, etc? Thanks

How long until you can have revenue generation? What if this is not effective on human? Is there an estimate when the company will be public? $350 per tooth is the cost. How much is the margin to our company?

I saw some discussion / papers back in 2010-2013 of using anesthesia to prevent third molar formation. Could you please comment on this? Was it not effective?

Dr. Colby, how does the 3TBA generator fit into TriAgenics future revenue projections? The business model description in the filing focuses solely on a planned $350/tooth bud charge for the 3TBA guides (and disposable handpiece). However, the generator is described in the same filing as the principal component of the system. Are those generators loaned, leased or sold to dental practitioners? Assuming the generators are in the hands of practitioners for an extended period, how are maintenance and calibration of those units addressed over time? Thank you in advance!

Hi I wondered if there were any potential competitors or studies looking at doing ablation by other means. Ex. Using sonic technology - like that used to get rid of kidney stones.. Thanks!

Dr. Colby - I’ve watched your video presentations to the Oregon Biosciences Association in 2020 and Central Oregon Pub Talk in 2021. In both of those presentations you forecasted the start of human trials around the end of 2021. The current information on Start Engine indicates that the application to the FDA for permission to conduct human trials is still pending. Would you please elaborate on the reasons for the delay in applying for / starting human trials? Thank you!

FAQS
Crowdfunding
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

My son had his wisdom teeth removed four months ago, at age 22. Then this past weekend, he developed an abscess at one of the removal sites. We ended up in the emergency room for hours with CT scans and IV antibiotics. I am in!
