Rising demand for cosmetic dentistry and orthodontic treatments

Cosmetic dentistry has become highly popular over the last decade owing to increasing social acceptance of dental aesthetics and desire for a perfect smile. People are now much more conscious about their appearance and looks and are willing to invest considerable amounts for minor cosmetic dental procedures. This has led to explosive growth of cosmetic dentistry industry worldwide. Today, procedures like teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental implants, and orthodontic treatments like braces are perceived more as lifestyle choices rather than medical necessities.

Orthodontic treatments especially are gaining immense traction across different age groups. With advancements in orthodontic technologies, treatments have become much more efficient, less invasive and aesthetically pleasing. Clear aligners that can straighten teeth invisibly are a huge hit among adults who want discreet orthodontic therapies.

Dental professionals need precision tools to perform these intricate cosmetic and orthodontic works effectively. Traditional impression methods using alginate or silicone are cumbersome and cannot provide the level of precision required for aesthetic dental work. Digital impression scanners on the other hand capture highly accurate 3D prints of teeth and jaws in one go which can then be used for computer-aided design of restorations, aligners, crowns and bridges. They significantly reduce error and rework by precisely transferring details from oral cavity into the software compatible with designing equipment. Their ease of use and efficiency can help dentists meet the exploding demand for quality cosmetic dentistry and customized orthodontic solutions.

This acquisition, valued at approximately US$ 418 million, aims to expand Align's product offerings and enhance its digital platform for orthodontic and restorative workflows.
