The 2024 Invisalign Ortho Summit three-day educational event focused on bringing practice and patient experiences to life – and elevating those experiences for patients, doctors, and team members. More than 1,000 doctors and practice team members from every region came together, alongside Align and peer-to-peer speakers, to share treatment and workflow best practices, hands-on experiences to sharpen clinical skills, and practice growth and marketing strategies.

“We appreciate the doctors and their teams who joined us in Las Vegas for the 2024 Invisalign™ Ortho Summit,” said Dr. Mitra Derakhshan, Align executive vice president, chief clinical officer. “We understand that experience matters – to clinical confidence and efficiency with Invisalign® treatment and to patient experiences that deliver excellent outcomes, comfort, convenience, and personalized treatments. The 2024 Invisalign Ortho Summit was about elevating those experiences, through peer learning focused on treatment that keeps patients and parents excited about the treatment journey and outcome.”

“After many years of using the Invisalign® System, I attended my first Ortho Summit last week and it was such an amazing experience,” said Dr. Renata Regalado, an orthodontist practicing in Glen Carbon, Illinois. “Thank you Align for giving me the opportunity to hear from and connect with so many of my peers in one place. It is so exciting to be able to share our insights and knowledge and experiences with Invisalign clear aligners, and it will help me continue to offer my patients the latest and greatest digital technology in the industry.”
