Align Technology Announces Strategic Alliance With Digital Smile
Design
Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) announced today that it is
partnering with Digital Smile Design (DSD), a leader in holistic,
digital and emotional dentistry solutions for dental clinics in the
efforts to advance multi-disciplinary dentistry by building a
streamlined end-to-end digital workflow as well as best-in-class
clinical education.
Through the collaboration, DSD will highlight
the Invisalign® system and iTero Element® scanners as the digital
solutions of choice for tooth movement and scanning. As part of the
cooperation, Align and DSD will aim to deliver dedicated education
programs, enable simplified, streamlined integration of digital
end-to-end workflows into GP practice and offer doctors more
opportunities to learn about digital tools and treatment planning
support.
“At Align Technology, we know that dentists
strive to create the best outcomes for their patients. With this
collaboration, we can provide dentists and prosthodontists with
dedicated tools that will support their approach to modern
comprehensive dental care and practice expansion,” said Raphael
Pascaud, Align Technology senior vice president, business
development and strategy. “By combining DSD’s methodology in
functional and aesthetic dentistry along with Align’s end-to-end
digital workflow including iTero scanning technology and Invisalign
clear aligner therapy, general practitioners can confidently
address their patient’s restorative needs with a fully streamlined,
orthodontic workflow and deliver greater clinical outcomes.”
“I am confident our partnership with Align
Technology will enable general practitioner dentists to feel even
more empowered to achieve their goals,” said Dr. Christian
Coachman, CDT, DDS and DSD founder. “We believe incorporating
‘facially driven’ treatment planning into Align's digital workflow
will provide a seamless digital workflow that makes comprehensive
dentistry achievable to all general practitioner dentists so that
they can provide even greater patient outcomes.”

in Cologne, Germany, will have an opportunity to learn more about
the Invisalign system and DSD from Dr. Coachman at the Align
