Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN), a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign System of clear aligners, iTero intraoral scanners, and exocad CAD/CAM software, recently announced a series of new product innovations for iTero Digital Solutions, a comprehensive ecosystem that includes intraoral scanners and integrated software tools designed to transform dental consultations into a modern, multi-modal oral health assessment that helps doctors and their teams deliver exceptional chairside experiences in support of Invisalign treatment conversion.¹
These new capabilities span key practice workflows that underline the Align Digital Workflow, including the Diagnose, Plan, Treat, and Monitor steps. From dynamic and personalized visualization and patient-engagement tools at chairside to expanded compatibility with 3D printers and milling machines, these new innovations simplify workflows, increase patient acceptance¹, and drive practice growth.²
“We’re excited to introduce the next wave of innovations for iTero Digital Solutions that uplift the entire in-office consultation experience for doctors and their patients,” said Sree Kolli, Align Technology executive vice-president, chief product and digital officer. “Our new chairside visualization solutions for iTero Digital Solutions support oral-health diagnostics, increase patient engagement, and drive treatment acceptance, collectively helping to accelerate practice growth.”
New Series of Innovations for iTero Digital Solutions, a comprehensive ecosystem that includes intraoral scanners and integrated software tools:
This announcement further strengthens Align’s Digital Platform and innovations for iTero Digital Solutions, and offers a holistic approach for general-practice dentists and orthodontists that supports earlier patient interaction for diverse treatment options in oral health, restorative and aesthetic dentistry, as previously announced (link https://investor.aligntech.com/news-releases/news-release-details/align-technology-announces-iterotm-intraoral-scanner-product). Align Oral Health Suite enhances patient-driven interest and engagement with iTero Element Plus and iTero Lumina scan images to help drive doctor-patient conversations about treatment options earlier in the patient journey. The all-in-one chairside consultation can help patients see the possible oral-health conditions and discuss potential root causes with their doctor while being more informed.
Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro is a patient-communication tool on iTero Element Plus Series and iTero Lumina imaging systems that generates highly realistic simulated in-face visualizations of a patient’s potential future smile after an orthodontic treatment or ortho-restorative treatment. Invisalign Outcome Simulation Pro with multi-treatment simulations offers two types of simulations chairside: Invisalign for ortho-only, and Invisalign Smile Architect for ortho-restorative. The new Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro with Smile Video offers dynamic in-face visualization at chairside designed to improve patient conversion**.
iTero Design Suite offers doctors and dental staff a simple and intuitive digital chairside design workflow for 3D printing and milling of models, bite splints, mock-ups, and restorations to enable single-visit dentistry and better patient experiences. It now includes comprehensive printing and milling compatibility, a new mock-up workflow that drives patient engagement and treatment acceptance, and the integration of iTero NIRI (Near Infra-Red Imaging) and HD intraoral images into the Suite to help trace the margin line and support detailed restoration design.
