Align Technology, Inc the manufacturer of the Invisalign treatment used in clear aligner orthodontics today announced that 3m patients have now started treatment with the Invisalign system. This is a significant milestone in Invisalign treatment and reflects an accelerating rate of adoption worldwide by Invisalign trained dental professionals and their patients.

“This major milestone was achieved in partnership with our network of Invisalign providers in more than 80 countries around the world,” said Thomas M. Prescott, Align Technology president and CEO. “We are proud to be helping these dentists transform smiles with Invisalign treatment as more and more people realize the benefits of straightening their teeth with a clear aligner system.” 

 

Contributing to this achievement is the expansion of Invisalign treatment in international markets, specifically Europe and Asia, combined with Align’s ongoing commitment to delivering new products and features that provide dental professionals with increased clinical confidence to straighten teeth with the Invisalign system. By combining biomechanics research, 3D software technology, cutting edge mass-customisation, and insights from customers treating 3m-plus patients worldwide, Invisalign clear aligners provide a comfortable and aesthetically appealing treatment option for challenging orthodontic issues.

 

Stanley Gersch and Scott Gersch, the father and son team at Gersch Orthodontics in Westfield, Linden & Cranford New Jersey, in the United States, recently learned that one of their teen patients is the milestone marking Invisalign patient.

 

UK celebrates the milestone


The milestone achievement will not surprise dental professionals or the patients treated in the UK, whose confidence levels have been transformed by Invisalign. Two women in particular have much to celebrate since their Invisalign treatment changed their lives to the extent that they have become new ‘Faces’ of the Invisalign brand.  Kirsty Roberts-Millman and Mikala French exemplify why Invisalign has now treated 3m people as Mikala sums up the benefits: “After treatment with Invisalign I feel transformed!  Nobody knew I had the aligners because they were clear, it did not affect my life and there was minimal discomfort. Having nice straight teeth is priceless for me, I am no longer nervous, my smile is confident and I would recommend Invisalign to everyone.”
