 Align Technology Announces 2 Millionth Teen Patient Treated with Invisalign

Align Technology recently announced the 2 millionth teen patient treated with Invisalign.

This milestone reflects accelerating adoption of clear aligner therapy, according to a press release. Align reached 1 million Invisalign teen patients in 2017, 10 years after first targeting teens, and has achieved 2 million just three years later. There are more than 8 million Invisalign patients of all ages worldwide.

Kaitlynn Ratliff is the 2 millionth teen patient. She is a student and athlete who started her Invisalign treatment in January. She’s being treated by Dr. Tom Hartsock of Hartsock and Sword Orthodontics in Pikeville, Kentucky. Dr. Hartsock is an Invisalign provider who specializes in teen treatment with Invisalign aligners and with the iTero scanner.

In honor of this milestone and in appreciation of Dr. Hartsock and Kaitlynn, Align is making a donation to a community food bank in Pikeville, Kentucky, to support families in need.

“I am grateful to have been a part of the Invisalign teen treatment journey over the last several years,” Dr. Hartsock said, according to the release. “We started using Invisalign aligners to treat teens because of their busy lifestyles and to decrease the stress of typical orthodontic appointments and restrictions on families. When we started using the iTero scanner and understanding how ClinCheck Pro software worked, as well as seeing the finished clinical results, treating teens with Invisalign aligners became the standard for our practice.”
