These new versatile digital solutions offer a holistic approach
for GP dentists that supports patient interaction about diverse
treatment options in oral health, restorative, and aesthetic
dentistry.
- Align™ Oral Health Suite enhances patient-driven interest and
engagement with iTero Element™ Plus series and iTero Lumina™ scan
images set up within clinical findings to help drive doctor-patient
conversations about treatment options. The all-in-one chairside
consultation can help patients see the possible oral health
conditions and associated root causes. GP practices that regularly
used iTero scanners and the Align Oral Health Suite saw 9% higher
estimated monthly revenue versus those that did not use the Align
Oral Health Suite.*
- Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro is a patient communication
tool on iTero Element Plus Series and Lumina imaging systems, that
generate an in-face simulated outcome of what a patient’s teeth can
look like after an orthodontic treatment or ortho-restorative
treatment. The new 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.
- iTero™ Design Suite is available for all iTero models with a
full service plan and offers doctors an intuitive way to facilitate
designs for 3D printing of models, bite splints, and restorations
chair-side. This software innovation is designed to help doctors
increase their practice efficiency and elevate patients’ experience
by shortening the time to treatment through an intuitive way to
design for in-practice 3D printing of items such as models, bite
splints, and restorations. The Align™ Digital Platform provides an
innovative portfolio of doctor-focused technologies that enables
seamless end-to-end workflows.
“The iTero intraoral scanner innovations introduced today will
enable doctors to present a variety of options to their patients,
supporting chairside education and communication, that helps
deliver a great patient experience and supports patients making
informed choices about their dental treatment in consultation with
their doctor,” said Karim Boussebaa, Align Technology executive
vice president and managing director for the iTero scanner and
services business. “In today’s modern digital dentistry practice,
the iTero™ intraoral scanner can help increase patient
understanding and treatment acceptance and help drive adoption of
the Align Digital Platform, a proprietary combination of software,
systems, and services designed to provide a seamless experience and
workflow that integrates and connects all users – doctors, labs,
patients, and consumers.”
*Based on a calculated median difference of 1H2024 production
revenue between North American GP practices with regular daily
usage of the iTero scanner and the Align Oral Health Suite (n=69)
versus GP practices that did not use the Align Oral Health Suite
(n=636). Data accounted for varying clinic patient volumes. The
Align Oral Health Suite is only available on iTero Lumina and iTero
Element Plus Series scanners. Data on File at Align Technology, as
of September 3, 2024.
The Align™ Oral Health Suite is available on the iTero Element™
Plus Series and Lumina scanners.
These innovations are expected to be available in Q4 2024.
