Align introduces new integration feature for orthodontic treatment software
Summary
Align Technology has launched a new integration feature, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), for its ClinCheck orthodontic digital treatment planning software. The CBCT integration will help doctors expand diagnosis and increase the visibility and control of a patient’s underlying anatomical structures during treatment planning, which will allow more cases to be treated using Invisalign clear aligners. Align Technology Asia Pacific chief product and marketing officer, executive vice-president and managing director Raj Pudipeddi said: “In an easy-to-use interface, CBCT scan data is digitally fused with an intraoral scan, resulting into a manoeuvrable 3D ClinCheck treatment plan model, thus making it convenient for doctors to tailor their treatment plans based on their patients’ needs. “We are pleased to deliver a high-quality, automated feature that is easy for doctors to use and incorporate into their digital workflow. Align Technology designs, manufactures and sells services for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, including iTero intraoral scanners, the Invisalign system, and exocad CAD/CAM software.
