Annual report (Form 10-K)

Align Technology 10-K for FY2025

Filing excerpt

Globally, more than 95% of Invisalign System prescription orders are now submitted via digital scan, increasing the accuracy of treatment plans, reducing the time from when the doctor submits the prescription to the time the patient receives the clear aligners, and helping to decrease the carbon footprint resulting from elimination of the initial or upfront shipment of the patient’s PVS impressions to the doctors and shipping those PVS impressions back to us.
