Today’s announcement further strengthens Align’s Digital Platform and innovations for iTero Digital solutions, and offers a holistic approach for GP 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. 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.
