Four million patients and counting

This is a significant accomplishment for the company and the 100,000 Invisalign trained doctors around the world, demonstrating increased global acceptance of Invisalign treatment as a preferred choice for straightening teeth.

In connection with this achievement, Align Technology is reaffirming its commitment to help provide treatment to children around the world born with cleft lip and cleft palate, and will donate $1 to Operation Smile for every public share of a photo of a person's smile on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the hashtag #4millionsmiles – for a total donation of up to $1m.*

"We are very proud to now have 4m people who have begun treatment with Invisalign clear aligners instead of metal braces,” said Joe Hogan, Align Technology president and CEO. “Reaching 4m Invisalign patients in half the time it took to reach 1m is remarkable and reflects accelerating adoption resulting from nearly 20 years of experience and significant innovation in our products and technology. We strive to provide Invisalign practices and their patients with the best treatment possible and believe every patient should have access to the most advanced treatment options for a healthy smile. To that end, we hope to inspire others to give more smiles to children in need with our continuing pledge to Operation Smile."
