BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- Align Technology Inc (Align), a global medical device company and maker of the Invisalign System, has announced the commercial availability of its Invisalign Palatal Expander System in Malaysia following its classification as a Class B medical device by the Malaysian Medical Device Authority. Align executive vice president and managing director for Asia Pacific, David Carr said the expansion into Malaysia reflects the company's commitment to advancing digital orthodontics with innovative treatment solutions. 'We are pleased to bring the Invisalign Palatal Expander System to doctors and patients in Malaysia, offering a more comfortable and modern approach to early orthodontic care,' he said in a statement. Meanwhile, its executive vice president, chief clinical officer, global treatment planning and clinical services, Dr Mitra Derakhshan said early interceptive cases represent 20 per cent of orthodontic starts each year, with growing demand for advanced and less invasive solutions. 'The addition of mandibular advancement features to Invisalign aligners also gives doctors more comprehensive tools to treat jaw imbalances and bite corrections during early and teenage growth stages,' she added. The system, which uses direct 3D printing technology, is designed for broad patient applicability, including children, teenagers, and adults requiring skeletal or dental expansion of the upper jaw. The device supports rapid maxillary expansion and retention and is based on proprietary, patented technology tailored to individual patient anatomy through iTero digital scans and artificial intelligence-driven software planning. Each expander is removable and customised to provide incremental adjustments, enabling gradual repositioning of the maxilla as prescribed by a doctor. The system complements Invisalign First aligners, offering a full early intervention solution for Phase 1 treatment in children aged six to 10, traditionally addressed with metal braces or arch expanders. Invisalign First aligners are specifically designed to treat early malocclusions such as short crowns, erupting dentition, and dental arch expansion in young patients.
