Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Align Technology, Inc. (“Align”) (Nasdaq: ALGN) 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, has reinforced its commitment to the Middle East region with the announcement of launching direct operatons in the Oman market.
With the aim of increasing access to digitally advanced technology that brings the latest advances in digital dentistry, Align Technology’s presence in Oman will further bolster its regional presence, ensuring access to a broader range of dental practitioners across the region, and helping to treat more patients.
Oman-based orthodontists will now have the chance to get their Invisalign training in order to offer their patients the best-in-class Invisalign clear aligner treatment.
They will also be able to digitize their own practices with the iTero intraoral scanner, as well as end-to-end digital orthodontic and restorative workflows to improve patient outcomes and in-practice efficiencies.
Angelo Maura, General Manager Middle East & Africa at Align Technology, said: “We are extremely proud to be launching our suite of digital products in the Oman market. This market expansion is a testament to our commitment in bringing the best-in-class technology to our doctors right across the Middle East. This is an important milestone that solidifies our presence in the entire GCC region. It will also pave the way to ensuring that a further expanded pool of doctors will now have the tools they need to future-proof and digitize their practices, as well as offer digitally-advanced and more efficient care to their patients.”
As part of the market launch, Align Technology will be investing in training courses for local orthodontists across the Sultanate, in order to support their digitization journey. Align Technology aims to further support newly certified orthodontists throughout the first two years of their certification with regular educational tools, as they embark on fully digitizing their practice. The company will also focus on supporting the continued growth of orthodontists and GPs across Oman, by continuing to bring new, innovative solutions and future product launches to the market.
Maura continued: “In line with the Oman Vision 2040, and the role of technology in the advancement of world-class health services for the country, our expansion into the Oman market ensures that local orthodontists will be able to contribute to this vision by offering their patients a more seamless digital experience, helping to transform more smiles. Digital dentistry is the future, and we are especially passionate about equipping doctors with the ability to treat patients seamlessly from anywhere and everywhere.”
