(NASDAQ: ALGN) a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> System of clear aligners, iTero\u2122 intraoral scanners, and exocad\u2122 CAD\/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today announced its collaboration with the University of Bern on Switzerland\u2019s first Swiss Oral Health Study \u2013 an epidemiological initiative led by Professor Dr. Hendrik Meyer-L\u00fcckel, director of the Clinic for Conservative, Preventive, and Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Bern.<\/p>\n<p>\nLaunched in August 2025, this study marks a significant milestone in Swiss dental research. It is the first large-scale, representative oral health study in Switzerland, designed to collect data across three key age groups: 6\u201312, 35\u201344, and 65\u201374 years. The study goal is to provide valuable insights into the oral health status of the Swiss population, helping to inform future healthcare strategies and improve patient outcomes. It aims to examine approximately 1,800 children by June 2026 and 1,650 adults by the end of 2027, across six cantons: Aargau, Bern, Lucerne, Ticino, Vaud, and Zurich.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnother key objective is to identify trends, such as the rise in early-childhood caries and establish a baseline for future public health strategies. By incorporating dental and gingival scans alongside clinical examinations, the study seeks to enhance diagnostic accuracy and explore the potential for trained dental assistants to support dental screenings. These intraoral scans, along with longitudinal follow-ups, are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of oral health&#8217;s impact on overall well-being, helping to shape more effective preventive care and public health programs.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs part of this collaboration, Align is providing its state-of-the-art iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner, which will have a central role in the study\u2019s data collection. The iTero Lumina scanner is designed to simplify the capture of challenging areas like the palate, edentulous spaces, partially erupted teeth and crowded teeth. Powered by iTero Multi-Direct Capture\u2122<sup \/>technology, the iTero Lumina scanner sets a new standard in digital scanning with its wider field of view<sup>1<\/sup>, large capture distance<sup>2<\/sup>, multi-angle capture<sup>3<\/sup> and superior clinical accuracy<sup>4<\/sup>. It delivers faster and more comfortable<sup>5<\/sup> scanning experience that enables highly efficient workflows while helping doctors provide an elevated patient experience.<\/p>\n<p>\niTero Lumina integrates near-infrared imaging (NIRI) technology, which scans the internal structure of a tooth (enamel and dentine) in real time<sup>6<\/sup> and aids in the detection and monitoring of interproximal caries lesions above the gingiva without using harmful radiation<sup>6<\/sup>. Also available on the iTero Lumina scanner is the Align\u2122 Oral Health Suite, a digital interface that enables comprehensive oral health assessments from a single scan. It can help doctors explain oral health conditions clearly and effectively using patient-friendly language. The Align Oral Health Suite integrates advance diagnostic and visualization tools \u2013 including iTero NIRI, Occlusogram, TimeLapse, and Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro- into one streamlined platform, allowing doctors to create and share personalized oral health reports that cover a wide range of dental conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\nAn Align-branded mobile dental van equipped with an iTero Lumina scanner will be traveling daily to schools and communities across Switzerland, enabling researchers to conduct on-site examinations and digital scans. The van is designed to operate autonomously for a full workday and equipped with dual examination chairs for efficient screening.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are honored to support this pioneering oral health initiative with the University of Bern and look forward to how integration of the iTero Lumina scanner into the study can enhance data quality and support the long-term goal of validating digital diagnostics as a complement to clinical examinations,\u201d said Simon Beard, Align Technology executive vice president and managing director, EMEA. \u201cThe First Swiss Oral Health Study exemplifies the power of collaboration between academia and industry to drive meaningful innovation. The iTero Lumina scanner is helping researchers collect high-quality data efficiently, and we\u2019re proud to see our technology contributing to better oral health outcomes for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;This study represents a major step forward in understanding the oral health of the Swiss population. The support from Align Technology and the use of the iTero Lumina scanner have significantly enhanced our ability to collect high-quality data efficiently and comfortably for participants of all ages, including young children,&#8221; said Prof. Dr. Meyer-L\u00fcckel.<\/p>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup> The iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner offers 3x larger field of view designed for more surface area capture enabling faster scanning.*Compared to the field of view of the iTero Element\u2122 5D imaging system, when the iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner\u2019s scanning distance is 12 mm.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>2<\/sup> The iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner boasts a 25 mm capture distance.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>3<\/sup> The iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner offers simultaneous multi-angle capture designed for less maneuvering.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>4 <\/sup>The iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner has scientifically proven greater accuracy* for your clinical orthodontic needs.<br \/>\n<br \/><sup>5 <\/sup>For doctors and their staff: Over other iTero\u2122 scanners in their respective clinics<i>. <\/i>Based on a survey in September 2023 of n=22 users who participated in a global limited market release, working with iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner for an average period of 6 months, representing both Invisalign\u00ae trained general practitioners, orthodontists, and their staff in NA, EMEA and APAC, who were presented with a 4 point level of agreement scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree with the following statement: \u201cI prefer the iTero Lumina\u2122 intraoral scanner over other iTero scanners in my clinic due to the comfortable scanning experience it provides.
