Align Technology and DECA Dental Group Extend Multi-Year Agreement For Invisalign Clear Aligners in the US
April 28 2021 - 4:00PM
Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN) and DECA Dental Group
announced today that they have extended their relationship and have
signed a new multi-year agreement for the Invisalign system through
early 2025.
In addition, DECA Dental Group is extending
utilization of the iTero Element 5D imaging system across its
affiliated practices in the US. This provides DECA Dental doctors
and clinical support team members with access to Align’s customized
clinical education for the Invisalign system and the iTero Element
5D imaging system to support practices in adopting new workflows
for restorative dentistry and for digital orthodontics.
The iTero Element 5D is the first integrated
dental imaging system that simultaneously records 3D intra-oral
optical impressions, 2D color images, and Near Infrared Images
(NIRI) technology. With the iTero Element 5D, full arch scans can
be completed in as little as 60 seconds.* iTero Element 5D’s NIRI
technology scans the structure (enamel and dentin) of a tooth in
real time, without harmful radiation, acting as a digital aid for
detection of interproximal caries above the gingiva.**
“DECA Dental Group prides itself on being a
dental technology leader and we have an exceptional culture that
resonates with energy and a passion to deliver comprehensive
patient care that is convenient and affordable,” said Dr. Sulman
Ahmed, founder & CEO, DECA Dental Group. “Align is a
long-standing trusted partner for our organization and many of our
doctors have treated their patients with Invisalign clear aligners.
We look forward to extending the benefits of Align’s digital
platform to offer our doctors and their patients the very best
experience in dentistry.”
“We are very pleased that DECA Dental Group has
extended our agreement to supply Invisalign clear aligners to their
affiliated-practices and are also separately planning to equip them
with iTero Element 5D imaging systems with NIRI technology,” said
Frank Quinn, Align vice president and general manager US. “We share
DECA’s passion for delivering digital technologies and workflows
that benefit doctors and their patients. Through the Align Digital
Platform, which starts with iTero digital scans, DECA Dental Group
doctors will be able to help their patients see and better
understand their current dental health issues, their treatment plan
options, and simulated outcomes directly on-screen at chair-side,
enabling better patient education and compliance during treatment,
and a positive patient experience. We look forward to continuing
our strong partnership to help transform smiles and change lives
for more patients.”
