Aligned with Europe

Fast forward 21 years and the company is the platinum sponsor of the European Aligner Society and its inaugural congress in Vienna (February 13-14, 2016). 

Not that the orthodontic treatment it developed has remained the same for the past two decades.  Far from it - years of technological innovation have meant that Invisalign has evolved considerably from its first iteration.  New advances have enabled practitioners to treat increasingly more complex conditions, including severe misalignment, overbite, underbite and crossbite as well as deep bite.

Align Technology raised the bar with the introduction of Invisalign G⁵  which, along with the latest versions of its ClinCheck software (pro and web versions) and Itero Element digital intra-oral scanner, will form the focus of its attention at the European Aligner Society congress. The company is also holding two workshops at the congress to allow delegates hands-on experience with the latest technological advances.

Deep and meaningful

Invisalign G⁵ innovation addresses deep bite, a challenging and widespread orthodontic condition that affects an estimated 45 per cent of teens and adults. The new iteration introduces new Smart Force attachments and pressure areas to improve control of premolar extrusion and anterior intrusion, whilst precision aligner bite ramps are designed to disocclude the posterior teeth.
