Overview
Company Summary
Align Technology, Inc. is a global medical device company that primarily focuses on digital orthodontic solutions. The company is best known for its flagship product, Invisalign, which is a clear aligner system used to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces.
Align Technology utilizes advanced 3D digital imaging technology to create customized treatment plans for patients, giving orthodontists the tools to effectively map out the movement of teeth throughout the treatment process. The Invisalign aligners are then fabricated using this digital data and are designed to gradually shift the teeth into their desired positions over time.
In addition to Invisalign, Align Technology also offers other digital orthodontic products such as intraoral scanners. These scanners capture highly accurate 3D images of a patient's teeth, eliminating the need for messy and uncomfortable traditional dental impressions.
Align Technology has disrupted the traditional orthodontic industry by providing a more aesthetically appealing and comfortable alternative to braces, which has gained significant popularity among both teens and adults seeking orthodontic treatment. The company aims to improve the overall experience and outcomes associated with orthodontic care by leveraging innovative technology and digital solutions.
