Revolutionary Software Enhances Dental Practice Efficiency

Align Technology has introduced a groundbreaking software innovation aimed at revolutionizing dental practices. The iTero Design Suite offers an intuitive platform for dentists to design and facilitate 3D printing of models, bite splints, and restorations within their practices.

Empowering Dentists with Advanced Technology

The iTero Design Suite is designed to boost practice efficiency and enhance patient experiences by significantly reducing the time to treatment. This latest addition to the Align Digital Platform leverages the power of exocad CAD/CAM software, providing a simplified, user-friendly interface for doctors and their staff.

We can easily design restorations, hard splints, models, and mockups to show patients the possibilities of cosmetic dentistry.”

Meeting Growing Demand for In-Practice 3D Printing

The introduction of the iTero Design Suite comes in response to increasing interest in 3D printing technology among dental professionals.
