I resell a lot of dental equipment. The tools are incredibly cheap now and the composites are becoming increasingly more advanced and easy to use. It's all coming from China where things have become deregulated. Also, aligners are now made using machine learning, so those are more affordable than ever. Basically, the tech is there but the regulation in US is lagging as always.

As someone from inside the field(and other replies are welcomed of course), let's say you had total regulatory freedom and could control everything - how would you write the rules, how would the businesses look like, what tech will be used, and maybe if it's possible to guess, how cheap can the common treatments(filling/root/crown) get ?
