Align Technology to highlight latest dental innovations at IDS

Delegates can delve deeper into these innovations on-site, experiencing the future of dental technology in practical and interactive ways:

• Align Oral Health Suite enhances patient-driven interest and engagement by using digital scan images to facilitate dentist-patient discussions about treatment options. It enables an all-in-one chairside consultation that explains oral health conditions and their associated causes.
• Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro is a patient communication tool that uses intra-oral scans to generate in-face simulated videos and photographic outcomes, showing what a patient’s teeth can look like after orthodontic or ortho-restorative treatment. The latest iteration, Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro with MTP, offers two types of chairside simulations: Invisalign for cases involving orthodontic treatment only and Invisalign Smile Architect for ortho-restorative cases.
• ITero Design Suite provides clinicians with an intuitive way to enable chairside design and 3D printing of models, bite splints and restorations. This helps increase practice efficiencies and enhances the patient experience by shortening the time to treatment.
• Invisalign Smile Architect software with MTP allows clinicians to visually compare and modify orthodontic-only and ortho-restorative treatment plans side-by-side as part of their ClinCheck treatment planning software.

Underpinning Align’s offerings is its sophisticated range of intra-oral scanners, the latest of which is the iTero Lumina. This scanner offers a simple, intuitive user experience, building on the advanced capabilities of the iTero portfolio. The iTero Lumina features a 50% smaller scanning wand, a three-times wider field of capture for faster scanning compared to the iTero Element 5D system, Multi-Direct Capture technology for better data generation, and a larger capture distance of up to 25 mm for easier scanning of complex oral areas, including narrow and deep palates. Its superior scan quality and speed eliminate the need for bulky digital cameras.

“Our latest technological advances and cutting-edge software allow for highly effective treatment planning across all stages of the patient journey, including oral health assessment and teeth alignment before restorative treatment starts. The digital tools we are showcasing at IDS put more information at clinicians’ fingertips than ever before. They not only enable clinicians to explain dental anomalies effectively in a way patients can see and understand but also demonstrate treatment outcomes in the most engaging and compelling manner,” said Simon Beard, executive vice president and managing director for the EMEA region at Align Technology.

“We want to welcome IDS delegates to our interactive booth to discover how Align Technology can enhance their practice both clinically and from a business perspective. There is also the opportunity to attend thought-provoking presentations by Drs Michaela Sehnert, Luis Ilzarbe, and other leading global advocates of digital dentistry,” Beard added. “Attendees will be able to test all the innovations for themselves because only by experiencing them will they truly appreciate that the future is in their hands,” he concluded.

Align’s booth will be located in Hall 1.2, Booth A050/C051.
