Commenting on Align’s Q2’21 results, Align Technology President and CEO Joe Hogan said, “I’m pleased to report our first $1 billion revenue quarter with record volumes reflecting continued momentum from both Clear Aligners and Systems and Services. For Q2, Systems and Services revenues reflect strong growth and the strategic value of the iTero business in all regions with continued adoption of the iTero Element 5D Plus Series of next-generation scanners and imaging systems which launched in February. Increasingly, doctors are seeing the strategic impact and value of iTero scanners in their practices, far beyond its role in Invisalign case submissions—it is a true workhorse and digital enabler in every type of practice and across every type of orthodontic and restorative workflow.
“Q2 sequential Clear Aligner volumes were primarily driven by strength in both adult and teen market segments and across customer channels and regions, especially from the Americas and EMEA regions, reflecting the expanding opportunity for Invisalign treatment among adults globally, as well as the underlying orthodontic market as we continue to build awareness of the Invisalign brand and drive utilization among teens and younger patients. For Q2’21, Invisalign Clear Aligner volumes for teens were up 9.5% sequentially and 156.3% year-over-year to 181.0 thousand teens, representing one-third of total cases shipped, with strong growth from North America and EMEA orthodontists.”
