    - Second Quarter Revenues Increase 51% Year Over Year to $44.2 Million

    - Company Reports GAAP Net Profit of $3.8 Million, or EPS of $0.06;

    - Company Increases Cash Position by $8.7 Million Year-To-Date

   SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Align Technology,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN), the inventor of Invisalign(R), a proprietary method of
straightening teeth without wires and brackets, today reported financial
results for the second quarter of 2004. Total revenues for the second quarter
of 2004 were $44.2 million, compared to $39.2 million in the first quarter of
2004, an increase of 13 percent, and $29.2 million in the second quarter of
2003, an increase of 51 percent.
   "We are pleased with our results for the second quarter," stated Thomas M.
Prescott, Align Technology's President and CEO. "Our marketing and sales
initiatives are gaining traction and have led to increased case shipments and
revenues. Our operating margins continue to improve and have begun to
demonstrate the leverage in our business model. We are committed to providing
a quality product for our customers and helping them achieve great results for
their patients. This commitment to their success, along with consistent
financial performance, and our long-term goal of becoming the most important
part of our doctors' practices, will help us build a great company that
delivers shareholder value."
   The net profit for the second quarter of 2004 as determined under
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") was $3.8 million, or
earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.06. This compares to a net profit
for the first quarter of 2004 of $557 thousand, or earnings per basic and
diluted share of $0.01, and a net loss for the second quarter of 2003 of $7.8
million, or a net loss of $0.13 per share.
   The non-GAAP net profit for the second quarter of 2004, which excludes
$1.8 million of stock-based compensation, was $5.6 million, or non-GAAP
earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.09. This compares to a non-GAAP net
profit of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2004, which excludes $2.2
million of stock-based compensation, or a non-GAAP basic net profit of $0.05
per share and non-GAAP fully diluted net profit of $0.04. This also compares
to a non-GAAP net loss of $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, which
excludes $4.4 million of stock-based compensation charges, or a non-GAAP net
loss of $0.06 per share. The reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP
measurements for net profit for the second quarter of 2004 is set forth below
within Align Technology's financial statements.
   As of June 30, 2004, Align had $56.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, compared to $47.7 million as of December 31, 2003.

   About Align Technology, Inc.
   Align Technology designs, manufactures and markets Invisalign, a
proprietary method for treating malocclusion, or the misalignment of teeth.
Invisalign corrects malocclusion using a series of clear, nearly invisible,
removable appliances that gently move teeth to a desired final position.
Because it does not rely on the use of metal or ceramic brackets and wires,
Invisalign significantly reduces the aesthetic and other limitations
associated with braces. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and
older teens. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA
clearance to market Invisalign in 1998.
   To learn more about Invisalign or to find a certified Invisalign doctor in
your area, please visit www.invisalign.com or call 1-800-INVISIBLE.

   NON-GAAP CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
   (unaudited)

   Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
   To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on
   a GAAP basis, Align uses a non-GAAP measure of net profit (loss), which is
   adjusted to exclude certain costs and expenses and any associated tax
   effects of such adjustments.  We believe that our non-GAAP net profit
   (loss) gives an indication of our baseline performance before other
   charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core
   operating results.  In addition, our non-GAAP net profit (loss) is among
   the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and
   forecasting of future periods.  The presentation of this additional
   information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
   net profit (loss) prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles in the United States of America.
