Cleaning solution for Invisalign® aligners created by leading orthodontist Dr. Sam Daher is latest ancillary product offered to enhance Invisalign treatment experience

San Jose, CA – September 14, 2020 -- Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today announced the addition of the Steraligner aligner cleaning system to the Invisalign Doctor Site web store and InvisalignAccessories.com. The Steraligner cleaning solution was created by Dr. Sam Daher, a Vancouver-based orthodontist and a top Invisalign provider in North America, to meet the daily cleaning needs of clear aligner patients. The Steraligner cleaning solution is designed for twice-daily use to remove plaque, staining and 99.9% of bacteria found in the mouth for better oral health and for fresh, clean aligners.

“Aligners can accumulate plaque build-up after long periods of wear, depending on the interaction of naturally-occurring oral bacteria with saliva and other factors in some patients,” said Dr. Daher. “I wanted to go beyond simple cleaning to develop the most effective cleaning approach possible to help my patients maintain great hygiene and get that new aligner look and feel every day. After numerous rounds of development and laboratory testing, we achieved that with the Steraligner cleaning solution, and I’m thrilled to make it available to Invisalign providers and their patients through these Invisalign resource sites.”

“We believe it is important to offer doctors and their Invisalign patients accessories and other products that enhance their treatment experience with Invisalign aligners,” said Nathan Minnich, Align Technology vice president, Americas marketing. “We know that aligner hygiene and overall oral health are important to patients, and the Steraligner cleaning system available through our doctor web store and Invisalign accessories site is another great option patients can use to clean their Invisalign aligners.”

Availability

The Steraligner cleaning system (cleaning solution plus soaking dish) is available now to Invisalign practices in the US and Canada through the Invisalign Doctor Site web store and is available directly to US and Canadian consumers through the Invisalign accessories site at https://www.invisalignaccessories.com/.
