Align Technology, Incorporated was founded to develop a new generation of high-technology orthodontic products.

Align Technology`s core product, the Invisalign System™, is the first in a new category known as "Clear Orthodontics." The Invisalign System™ uses cutting-edge 3-D computer-graphics technology to design and manufacture customized orthodontic appliances (aligners). Developed as an alternative to conventional "wire-and-bracket" orthodontic therapy, the Invisalign™ aligners are virtually undetectable, easy-to-use, and comfortable to wear. Each appliance in the series is worn for approximately two weeks to gently and incrementally shift teeth to their final position. The final position of the patient`s teeth is prescribed by the treating orthodontist.

Because the invisalign™ aligner is virtually undetectable to others, the appliance is particularly ideal for adults who are looking for an esthetic alternative to conventional braces.

The Invisalign System™ is being introduced to the market on a regional basis. Patients can contact Align Technology at (888) 82-ALIGN to get more information on Invisalign™.
