of intraoral scanners with Zimmer Biomet Dental, a division of
Zimmer Biomet (NYSE and SIX: ZBH) and a global dental industry

This agreement enables the company to leverage Zimmer Biomet
Dental’s extensive direct global salesforce and network of dental
clinicians and laboratories to help drive further penetration of

market. The collaboration also offers Zimmer Biomet Dental
customers access to Invisalign® clear aligners through the iTero

approach.
“We are excited to be partnering with Zimmer Biomet Dental to
demonstrate our companies’ commitment to supporting dental
professionals on their journey to digital dentistry,” said Yuval
Shaked, senior vice president and managing director, iTero scanner

practice and dental ecosystem is clinical education. Through this
collaboration, the iTero scanner becomes the exclusive intraoral
scanner used in the US and European Zimmer Biomet Institutes, which
train thousands of doctors annually in an interactive learning
environment with the ultimate goal of improved clinical
outcomes.”
Together, the iTero Element scanner and Zimmer Biomet Dental
solutions will deliver multiple digital workflows for dental
professionals and laboratories so they can collaborate more
efficiently and offer patients a faster and more effective
treatment experience.
“Zimmer Biomet’s aim is to offer best-in-class solutions and
technology tailored to dental professionals’ needs, and this
partnership with Align Technology to complement our end-to-end
fully digital solution portfolio is another step in that
direction,” said Pedro Malha, President, Zimmer Biomet
Dental.

Zimmer Biomet Dental in select countries in Europe, with
