Align Technology, a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures and sells the Invisalign system of clear aligners, iTero intraoral scanners and exocad CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, has introduced new software innovations to accelerate digital practice transformation.
The Align Oral Health Suite is an intuitive and visually engaging digital interface designed to enhance dental consultations and drive dental treatment acceptance. It offers a modern approach to dental examinations, featuring an innovative clinical framework that empowers doctors and their clinic staff to conduct comprehensive oral health assessments via a single scan using patient-friendly terminology, and providing a highly engaging patient-centric experience.
Available on the iTero Element Plus Series, the Align Oral Health Suite covers a broad range of dental health conditions necessary for patients to better understand their oral health and enables doctors to create and share a custom oral health report, capturing the treatment recommendations discussed during the patient consultation.
Sreelakshmi Kolli, Align Technology Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer, said: “AI-driven oral health assessment tools, like X-Ray Insights, discern data and enhance doctor-patient conversations, treatment option evaluation, and shared decision-making regarding oral health conditions and dental treatment options,” they said. “It goes beyond digital orthodontics and supports oral health assessments by generating a digital image of oral health findings, improving patient communication and helping increase practice growth.”
