Align Technology Targets Mainstream Orthodontics Market With Invisalign Teen(TM)
Date:7/29/2008

n began in 1999, Align has grown tremendously on the merits of its first generation product.

Invisalign Teen accommodates this growth by allowing doctors to prescribe the space necessary for erupting teeth and has aligners with specially engineered "eruption tabs" to compensate for second molars that continue erupting during treatment. Invisalign Teen aligners also include a new feature called Power Ridges(TM) which are designed to p
