Growing patient roadshow hosted by Align
Technology aims to accelerate dental care
for children and teens across Middle East
By Align Technology
Align Technology, a leading
global medical device company that
designs, manufactures, and sells the
Invisalign system of clear aligners,
iTero intraoral scanners, and exocad
CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, recently concluded the second phase
of its Growing Patients Roadshow in
the Middle East. This series of specialized education events, aimed at
elevating dental care for children
and teens and improving practice efficiencies took place from May 30 to
June 2, in Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait
City, and Dubai. Over 200 dental professionals attended the event series
held across the Middle East, attracting participants who are already certified as an Invisalign providers.
The most recent installment of
the Growing Patients Roadshow centered on leveraging the Align Digital
Workflow to accelerate practices in
treating growing patients, follows
the recent publication of a research
paper by Align Technology. The
white paper focused on the treat-
ment of teens with clear aligners, titled ‘Insights into the growing patient dental journey and the growing
patient dental market in KSA & UAE’,
illuminated key trends influencing
patient preferences, the crucial role
of orthodontists in both the decision
and treatment process, and the expanding market for clear aligner
treatment among growing patients.
Paired with the Growing Patient
Roadshow series, Align Technology
aims to empower dental professionals across the Middle East to elevate
the way treatment is delivered for
child and teen patients, ensuring a
comprehensive approach is delivered to enhance the overall patient
experience and clinical outcome.
The interactive sessions included
keynotes delivered by Invisalign
speakers; Dr Emmanuel Jr. Dumu
from Belgium, Dr Gilman Yucel from
Turkey, and Dr Suliman Shahin and
Dr Wael Ghannam, both from the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The sessions provided attendees
with valuable insights into the importance of the Align Digital Workflow in accelerating growing patient
practices. Practical tips and tricks
were shared to improve patient acceptance and compliance with the
Invisalign system, including Invisalign First which is specifically designed for treating younger patients.
Demonstrations highlighted the expansive capabilities of the iTero Intraoral scanner in enhancing clinical
accuracy and treatment outcomes
when using digital tools in treatment
planning and execution.
Markus Sebastian, Senior Vice
President, EEMA, Align Technology,
said, "The Growing Patients Roadshow series underscores our commitment to supporting orthodontists in their mission to provide optimal care for young patients. Our digital platform not only enhances
clinical outcomes but also streamlines workflows, making it easier for
practices to manage the unique
needs of their younger patients. We
are excited to see the positive impact
this can have on the growth and success of our partner practices."
Angelo Maura, General Manager
Middle East, Align Technology, said,
"At Align Technology, we understand
the unique challenges and opportunities in treating growing patients,
having treated over 17 million
Invisalign patients, of which 4.7 million are teens. Our goal is to equip
dental professionals with the tools
and knowledge they need to provide
the best possible care. By leveraging
our digital solutions, we can ensure
that young patients receive precise,
efficient, and comfortable treatments that set the foundation for a
lifetime of healthy smiles."
The Growing Patient Roadshow
series will continue with more
events scheduled throughout 2024,
with the next installment in September centered on enhancing clinical
outcomes for growing patients in
which attendees will understand
how to improve clinical outcomes
with growing patient cases through
the utilization of different ADP tools
including ClinCheck Software treatment planning, as well as gain
knowledge on troubleshooting for
the Invisalign treatments for teen
patients and Invisalign First clear
aligners.
Events took place in key cities across the Middle East in Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait City and Dubai from 30th May – 2nd June. (Image: Align Technology)

BE PROUD
WITH CPS INTERDENTAL BRUSHES
POWERFUL PREVENTION
VERY GENTLE
FEEL THE CONFIDENCE of healthy, happy, good-looking teeth and gums.
Probably the finest ever interdental brushes. Cleanliness in the spaces between
your teeth is the best foundation for oral health. Gentle and effective cleaning
with a single-brush action. Once a day is all it takes. Once in and out. Done.
Following a study into the use of interdental brushes, researcher Professor
Denis Bourgeois, of the University of Lyon, said:
“It is necessary to use a toothbrush twice a day and interdental brushes once a
day. If you do not do this, you are risking your health.” Using Curaprox CPS
Prime interdental brushes daily helps to prevent cavities, gingivitis and
periodontitis – and even heart and systemic diseases.
