Copyright: edwardolive / 123RF Stock Photo In March, Align Technology announced Invisalign Teen with mandibular advancement, the first clear aligner solution for Class II correction in growing tween and teen patients. According to the company, the new offering combines the benefits of an advanced clear aligner system with features for moving the lower jaw forward while simultaneously aligning the teeth. Moreover, it promises to provide a simpler, more efficient and patient-friendly treatment option than functional appliances—and without the need for elastics typically used to treat teen Class II patients. "Twenty years ago, Align Technology transformed the orthodontic industry by replacing an analog approach to straightening teeth with a modern digital solution called the Invisalign system," said Align Technology president and CEO, Joe Hogan.
