Align Technology Unveils ClinCheck Live Plan, Automating Invisalign Treatment Plans in Minutes
Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN), a leading global medical device company known for designing, manufacturing, and selling the Invisalign® System of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software, has announced ClinCheck® Live Plan—a new feature that automates the creation of initial, doctor-ready Invisalign® treatment plans in as little as 15 minutes. This innovation marks a significant technological leap in digital orthodontic care, streamlining the treatment planning process for dental professionals. ClinCheck® Live Plan leverages advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze patient scan data from iTero intraoral scanners and automatically generate a comprehensive, clinically accurate treatment plan. The system delivers a full set of aligner stages, tooth movement predictions, and expected treatment duration, all tailored to the specific anatomy of the patient. The result is a fast, consistent, and highly efficient workflow that reduces the time and effort traditionally required to create a treatment plan. By automating the initial planning phase, ClinCheck® Live Plan allows orthodontists and dentists to focus more on patient consultation, case review, and treatment optimization, rather than spending hours on manual setup. The feature is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that even practices with limited experience in digital treatment planning can quickly adopt and benefit from the technology. The launch of ClinCheck® Live Plan comes at a time when demand for clear aligner therapy continues to grow, driven by increasing patient preference for discreet, comfortable, and convenient orthodontic solutions. With the new feature, Align Technology is further solidifying its position as a leader in digital dentistry, offering tools that enhance both clinical outcomes and practice efficiency. The company emphasized that while the system automates the initial plan, it remains fully customizable. Dentists retain complete control over the treatment strategy and can make adjustments to aligner movements, staging, and other parameters to meet individual patient needs. The feature is available to all Invisalign® providers using the latest version of the ClinCheck® software and is integrated with the existing iTero and exocad platforms. Align Technology continues to invest in AI-driven innovation to transform orthodontic care, and ClinCheck® Live Plan represents a key milestone in its mission to make high-quality, personalized treatment more accessible and efficient for both providers and patients.
