Invisalign maker Align Technology cuts annual revenue forecast on weak demand
(Corrects day to Wednesday in paragraph 1) July 30 (Reuters) - Teeth aligner maker Align Technology on Wednesday cut its annual revenue growth forecast as macroeconomic uncertainties weighed on demand for its dental products, sending the company's shares about 30% lower in extended trading. The company, which makes Invisalign teeth aligners and other dental products, now expects 2025 revenue growth to be flat to slightly up from 2024, compared with its earlier forecast range of 3.5% to 5.5%. "Recent dental industry surveys for the second quarter suggest there was less overall patient traffic, fewer orthodontic case starts, and patient hesitation toward elective procedures," President and CEO Joe Hogan said in a statement. "As we begin the third quarter and plan for the remainder of the year, our outlook anticipates the potential continued economic uncertainty and spending hesitancy that impacted demand for our clear aligners and new iTero scanner systems in the second quarter." The company said it expects to realign certain business groups and reduce its global workforce, but did not give details on the job cuts. It also plans to optimize its manufacturing footprint by increasing automation and regionalize manufacturing to be closer to its customers, the company said. It expects to incur one-time charges of about $150 million to $170 million in the second half of 2025. Align Technology reported revenue of $1.01 billion, down 1.6% from last year and below analysts' estimates of $1.06 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The Tempe, Arizona-based company, expects its third-quarter revenue to range between $965 million to $985 million, the mid-point of which was below analysts' estimates of $1.04 billion. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $2.49 per share for the quarter ended March 31, compared with estimates of $2.57 per share.

Align Technology Announces Invisalign ® System With Mandibular Advancement Featuring Occlusal Blocks for Class II Skeletal and Dental Correction
MUMBAI, INDIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN), a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign® System of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today announced commercial availability in India of the Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks designed specifically to address Class II skeletal and dental correction by simultaneously advancing the mandible while aligning the teeth.

This condition can lead to functional, aesthetic, and other challenges for patients if left untreated. The Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks is primarily intended for growing patients in the late mixed or early permanent dentition stages (ages 10-16), who are still experiencing growth. By leveraging the natural growth potential during pre-adolescence and adolescence, the Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks facilitates effective correction of Class II malocclusions, helping to improve occlusal relationships, enhance facial aesthetics, and provide long-term functional benefits, including: Efficient treatment. Minimizes the need for multiple appliances to treat conditions including severe deep bite. Treats Class II malocclusions while simultaneously aligning the teeth in a single, efficient process. Invisalign occlusal blocks are solid with laser welding, which ensures structural rigidity and durability throughout the treatment, to minimize crushing. The solid occlusal blocks allow for vertical opening and enables the Mandibular Advancement (MA) phase to begin sooner for Class ll deep bite cases or Class II div 2 patients who many times would have needed a pre-MA phase. Some crossbite cases may still need pre-MA. Elevated patient comfort, (1) and compliance (2). Made from patented SmartTrack™ material, which is predictable and more comfortable (1). Studies show that patient discomfort with functional appliances affects patient compliance with the prescribed wear time and could lead to unsatisfactory outcomes (2). Predictable tooth movement. Attachments are allowed on the teeth under the blocks to facilitate leveling and other movement or to help prevent unwanted movements (3). By combining SmartTrack™ material, SmartForce™ features, and SmartStage™ technology, it also allows for more predictable tooth movement (1). 'The Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks reflects Align's continued commitment to expanding the capabilities of the Invisalign System, enabling doctors to treat a wider range of malocclusions with precision and efficiency, and helps to continue to advance clear aligners as the standard of care in digital orthodontics,' said Sreelakshmi Kolli, Align Technology executive vice president, chief product and digital officer.

'Treatment outcomes with the Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks are on par with traditional Clark Twin Blocks,' said an orthodontist practicing in New Zealand who has treated 50 patients to date. 'In addition, the enhanced comfort of the Invisalign occlusal blocks increases predictability-- because comfort leads to patient compliance–and compliance leads to better outcomes.' 'Class II correction in growing patients is smooth sailing with the Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks,' said an orthodontist practicing in Australia. 'The patients instinctively know how to bite, and it works so I don't see any crushed blocks. The fact that we see no crushing issues means patients can keep moving through treatment without any delays or additional appointments.' 'I'm very happy with the new Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks design,' said a Canada-based orthodontist. 'Patients can bite down easily without risk of damaging or distorting the blocks, and the mandibular advanced position is easy to maintain. My young patients have found it very easy to transition to this appliance with minimal discomfort, and compliance has been a breeze." 'The Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks provides the ideal block engagement that helps hold the mandible in the proper position for patients that also have mandibular asymmetry. This allows for more efficient corrections when desired,' said an orthodontist based in Canada. 'Invisalign system with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks remove the need for auxiliary elastics, which removes one more obstacle for patients. In addition, the trays do not require palatal coverage like traditional removable Class ll correctors, and there are no changes in the insertion and removal process of the aligners. My younger patients love the ability to remove the aligners for eating, which is not commonly an option for patients that require fixed Class ll correctors or elastics.' The Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks is now commercially available to Invisalign-trained doctors in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and India, and is expected to be introduced in additional APAC markets later in 2025.
