NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: OrthoAccel Technologies Inc. recently announced two new additions to its senior management team: Jeff Layton as the company’s new chief operations officer and Doug Bukaty as vice president of sales. Both executives have distinguished careers that include management positions at Fortune 500 companies.

As chief operations officer, Layton oversees OrthoAccel’s product engineering, design, development and manufacturing as well as supply chain, quality assurance and customer service.

Most recently, he was the vice president of operations for Xtreme Power, a manufacturer of renewable energy storage systems. Layton’s 25-year career also includes management positions at Dell, where he was the director of power and reliability engineering, and at 3M, where he was the plant engineering operations manager for the company’s dental products division. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Layton was a nuclear submarine engineering operations officer in the United States Navy.

As the leader of OrthoAccel’s sales division, Bukaty oversees all aspects of business development and revenue growth. He comes to the company from Sarnova, a private, equity-backed specialty medical distribution business where he served as vice president of sales for Bound Tree Medical.

Bukaty has more than a decade of corporate experience in the orthodontic industry with past sales positions at Align Technology and Johnson & Johnson’s “A” Company Orthodontics. A graduate of the University of Kansas, Bukaty also completed professional development programs at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

“Jeff Layton and Doug Bukaty are great additions to OrthoAccel’s senior management team, and we know that their strong records of success in operations and sales will help fuel our next level of growth as the leader in accelerated orthodontics,” said Mike Lowe, president and CEO of OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc.

The company manufactures AcceleDent, the only FDA-cleared, Class II medical device that has been proven to accelerate orthodontic treatment up to 50 percent.

Lowe added, “These executives join OrthoAccel at a time of tremendous momentum as our AcceleDent product is now offered in more than 1,000 orthodontic offices in North America with plenty of opportunity for continued growth.”

Based in Houston, Texas, OrthoAccel Technologies Inc. is a privately owned medical device company engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of products to enhance dental care and orthodontic treatment.

OrthoAccel developed and sells AcceleDent Aura, the first FDA-cleared clinical approach to safely accelerate orthodontic tooth movement by applying gentle micropulses via SoftPulse Technology as a complement to existing orthodontic treatment.
