Align iTero Element 5D Intra-Oral Scanner Released at IDS 2019

ALIGN TECHNOLOGY LAUNCHES NEW ITERO ELEMENT 5D IMAGING SYSTEM FOR COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTATIVE AND RESTORATIVE ORAL CARE AT IDS

First intraoral scanner with near-infrared imaging (NIRI) technology that scans the internal structure of a tooth (enamel & dentin) in real time1.
First integrated dental imaging system that simultaneously records 3D, intra-oral color and NIRI, and enables comparison over time using iTero® TimeLapse 1.
NIRI technology of the iTero Element® 5D system aids in detection and monitoring of interproximal caries lesions above the gingiva without using harmful radiation 1.
Limited-release direct doctor-lab workflow automatically sends scan to lab of choice.

Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today announced that it is launching the iTero Element 5D Imaging System, which provides a new comprehensive approach to clinical applications, workflows and user experience that expands the suite of existing high-precision, full-color imaging and fast scan times of the iTero Element portfolio. The entire iTero product family, including the iTero Element 5D Imaging System, will be showcased at the 38th International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne Germany, which runs March 12 – 16, 2019.

iTero Element 5D Imaging System: more than just a scanner
In addition to offering all of the features and functionality that doctors have come to expect and rely on with the iTero Element 2 scanner, the iTero Element 5D scanner is the first integrated dental imaging system that simultaneously records 3D, intra-oral color and NIRI images and enables comparison over time using iTero TimeLapse1. Integrated 3D, intra-oral color and NIRI technology of the iTero Element 5D Imaging System aids in detection and monitoring of interproximal caries lesions above the gingiva without using harmful radiation1. With one full arch scan, in as little as 60 seconds, the iTero Element 5D Imaging System provides doctors with powerful visualization capabilities, including the following:

3D impressions for restorative and orthodontic work
Analysis instruments, such as the occlusal clearance tool 2
NIRI imagery
Intraoral camera imagery
iTero TimeLapse technology
Invisalign® Outcome Simulator 2
Invisalign Progress Assessment 2

“The iTero Element 5D Imaging System combines the cutting-edge technology of the iTero Element portfolio of intraoral scanners, with advanced integrated imaging features, such as NIRI, which aids in interproximal caries detection and clear intra-oral images with the built-in intraoral camera,” said Zelko Relic, Align Technology, CTO and senior vice president, global research and development. “With this new imaging system, doctors can efficiently and effectively scan every patient at every visit and visualize treatment options together that result in more informed decisions for optimum oral care.”
