Align Technology has officially launched the Invisalign® System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks in India, expanding access to its latest innovation for treating Class II skeletal and dental malocclusions. Specifically designed for growing patients aged 10–16, this cutting-edge aligner integrates precision-engineered occlusal blocks to simultaneously advance the mandible while aligning teeth—eliminating the need for multiple appliances. The India launch represents a strategic step in addressing a significant segment of the orthodontic population, where timely intervention during active growth stages can prevent long-term functional and aesthetic complications.
The new system introduces a series of advanced features that set it apart from traditional clear aligner therapies. Notably, the integrated solid occlusal blocks enable earlier mandibular advancement in deep bite cases, offering a durable structure thanks to laser welding, and eliminating pre-MA phases in certain Class II profiles. Made from Align’s patented SmartTrack™ material, the aligners are engineered for comfort and predictability, while SmartForce™ and SmartStage™ technologies ensure precise tooth movement. Attachments can also be placed on teeth beneath the occlusal blocks, allowing for versatile correction of complex cases with greater efficiency and control.
This innovation reflects Align Technology’s commitment to transforming orthodontic care through digital, patient-centric solutions. By enabling simultaneous skeletal and dental correction in a single, non-invasive system, the Invisalign System with occlusal blocks enhances compliance, reduces treatment duration, and improves overall outcomes for growing patients. Its availability in India—alongside other APAC markets—underscores Align’s goal to make digital orthodontics the standard of care and empowers practitioners with a comprehensive portfolio tailored to each stage of pediatric treatment.
