Align transforms smiles, lives, hitting millionth patient milestone in Asia Pacific

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 -- Align Technology Inc has reached its millionth patient in the Asia Pacific region in treatment with the world’s most advanced clear aligner system, Invisalign system.

Align’s Invisalign system is the only clear aligner with one million patients in the Asia Pacific region and over eight million patients worldwide.

According to a statement, the achievement reflects Align’s commitment to the Asia Pacific region and adoption of Invisalign treatment for transforming smiles and changing lives.

“We are committed to continue working closely with our doctors in Japan and the entire region to support them in transforming smiles and changing lives,” said Align Technology Asia Pacific, senior vice-president and managing director, Julie Tay.

The one millionth Invisalign patient from the Asia Pacific region is Ayumu Saito, a 23-year-old aspiring Olympic athlete from Japan who is a modern pentathlon champion (2019), fencer and fashion model.

“I chose Invisalign clear aligners because they are discreet (and nearly invisible), soft and comfortable to wear and I am already seeing changes in my teeth. The Invisalign brand is also trusted and was recommended by my doctor for its superior technology that will help me achieve a healthy, beautiful smile,” she shared.

She will be featured in an Invisalign brand campaign that follows her treatment journey with Dr Koji Yokoya, head director at Aoyama Gaien Orthodontics Dental Offices in Tokyo, highlighting the key reasons she chose Invisalign clear aligners.

As part of the campaign and to mark this significant milestone, Align invites the Invisalign community in Asia Pacific to share their treatment journey on social media with hashtag #onemillionsmiles.
