Align Technology Boosts CAD/CAM Software in iTero Scanner - Analyst Blog
California-based global medical device company, Align Technology Inc. (ALGN), recently enhanced its chairside computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software system, used in the iTero intraoral scanner, by reporting connectivity to the dental solutions of IOS Technologies Inc.
This new system will offer clinicians, who choose to provide in-office same-day crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers, access to an extensive spectrum of available CAD/CAM options.
The IOS FastDesign software system of IOS Technologies – a subsidiary of Glidewell Laboratories – incorporates the FastDesign CAD software and the TS150 in-office milling machine. The patent-pending FastDesign CAD software, with support from the highly accurate images provided by the iTero scanner, provides digital designs of dental crowns, which mostly need little or no manipulation by dentists.
The TS150 mill provides convenient dental milling and in the process, protects the marginal integrity of dental restoration, delivering excellent clinical outcomes. The iTero scanner, in combination with the IOS FastDesign system, will now give dentists the option to mill same-day restorations in the office.
iTero and IOS Technologies certified connectivity and digital workflow is now available for iTero scanners in North America. The launch of this advanced system is expected to help the company garner more market share in North America.
In its capacity as a corporation that pioneered the invisible orthodontics market with the launch of its proprietary Invisalign system way back in 1999, we believe, the announcement of this new system demonstrates Align Technology’s long-driven commitment to bring forth innovative products and expand its foothold in the worldwide orthodontics and dentistry market.
