Clear aligner and digital dentistry platform for orthodontists and dental labs
Align Technology operates a vertically integrated clear aligner and digital dentistry ecosystem serving orthodontists and labs across 100+ markets. The tech stack spans CAD-CAM, intraoral scanning (iTero), design software (exocad), and cloud infrastructure (AWS + SAP), with active adoption of identity protocols (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, SCIM) signaling expansion into integrations and multi-tenant workflows. Sales-led hiring (176 roles) paired with modernization projects around digital adoption and process automation indicates the company is pushing dentists and labs toward cloud-based workflows and away from legacy analog systems.
Notable leadership hires: Software Project Lead, Software Tech Lead, Sales Director, Marketing Director, National Director
