Align™ Oral Health Suite enhances patient-driven interest and engagement with iTero Element™ Plus series and iTero Lumina™ scan images set up within clinical findings to help drive doctor-patient conversations about treatment options. The all-in-one chairside consultation can help patients see the possible oral health conditions and associated root causes.
- Invisalign Smile Architect™: Treatment planning software now with Multiple Treatment Plans, allowing doctors to visually compare and modify orthodontic only and ortho restorative treatment plans side-by-side. The Multiple Treatment Plans are integrated into ClinCheck® treatment planning software for doctors to visually compare, review, and choose the best treatment option for each patient.
- iTero™ Design Suite: Software innovation designed to help doctors boost their practice efficiency and elevate patient experiences by shortening time to treatment through an intuitive way to design for in-practice 3D printing. The iTero Design Suite enhances the Align™ Digital Platform, which provides an innovative portfolio of customer-focused technologies that enable seamless end-to-end workflows for dental professionals.
