Now, clinicians can directly generate tooth movements modification, attachments,and occlusal planes and receive an updated treatment setup for immediate approval in just 20 seconds. How Smartee Live Update Transforms Your Workflow The new feature integrates seamlessly into SmarteeCheck.

Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN) on DIY Investor's Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on ALGN. Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN)'s share was trading at $188.07 as of 10th June. ALGN's trailing and forward P/E were 32.9 and 17.7 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. A patient's smile enhanced by a dental technology device. Align Technology (ALGN), the maker of Invisalign and leader in clear aligners with over 90% market share, offers a compelling, if measured, investment case. Historically, ALGN traded at high valuations—around 32x P/E during its growth phase and peaking at 80x in 2018—reflecting both its strong brand moat and investor enthusiasm. However, despite doubling its earnings since then, the stock has corrected sharply due to overvaluation, trading now at 18x P/E with consensus expecting ~10% annual EPS growth over the next three years. Using a conservative fair value estimate of $200 based on a 10.8 EPS average and historical valuation norms, the stock appears to offer a ~20% discount from current levels near $180, suggesting ~10% annual returns if the multiple remains steady. Importantly, Align has a strong track record of meeting or beating analyst expectations, lending confidence to forward projections. Morningstar supports the undervaluation thesis, assigning a fair value of $240 and a narrow moat rating, though they acknowledge macro and competitive risks. Align's moat stems from intangible assets like SmartTrack materials and 25 years of clinical data, high switching costs for doctors, and some indirect network effects. Though it lacks a cost advantage or natural scale barriers, its capital allocation is sound: debt-light, R&D-focused, and growth-oriented. Strategic acquisitions like Exocad complement its innovation roadmap, while minimal buybacks and no dividends reflect a long-term growth posture. Overall, Align represents a high-quality business trading at a fair price, with moderate upside for investors comfortable with industry cyclicality and valuation-driven risk. Previously, we covered a bullish thesis on Procter & Gamble (PG) by Librarian Capital, emphasizing its brand dominance, resilient cash flows, and appeal as a defensive compounder amid consumer headwinds. DIY Investor's thesis on Align Technology (ALGN) contrasts this with a growth-oriented case, highlighting Invisalign's moat, earnings momentum, and undervaluation after a sharp multiple compression. Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 52 hedge fund portfolios held ALGN at the end of the first quarter which was 58 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of ALGN as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an extremely cheap AI stock that is also a major beneficiary of Trump tariffs and onshoring, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Align Technology Launches Integrated Consumer and Professional Brand Campaign Focused on Invisalign® Treatment for Kids and Teens
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 17, 2025-- Align Technology, Inc. ('Align') (Nasdaq: ALGN) a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign ® System of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today announced integrated global professional and consumer campaigns to highlight the unique needs of growing patients and treatment options for meeting those needs and creating new smiles with the Invisalign clear aligner system. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: New 'Invisalign for Kids' brand consumer campaign educates parents of younger children about the benefits of Invisalign® clear aligners. 'We are proud to launch these complementary Invisalign ® brand campaigns about the kid and teen-friendly orthodontic solutions from the #1 doctor-recommended clear aligner brand, 1 ' said Kamal Bhandal, senior vice president, Global Brand, Consumer and Americas Marketing. 'Our new 'Invisalign for Kids' brand consumer campaign is designed to increase awareness with parents that Invisalign aligners are an effective solution for kids and educate parents about the benefits of Invisalign treatment for kids and teens, including Invisalign ® Palatal Expander System, Invisalign First™, Invisalign ® System with mandibular advancement, as well as Invisalign ® Virtual Care to help parents monitor progress – all designed to deliver predictable results and a positive experience for growing children.' The aspects of Invisalign treatment, from Phase 1 to comprehensive Phase 2, to retention are designed for predictable results and a positive experience while addressing the unique needs of growing children. And with Invisalign aligners, children can enjoy their favorite foods, keep up their oral hygiene, maintain an active lifestyle, and smile and build their confidence. At the same time, our companion Invisalign 'Growing Patients' professional campaign provides doctors with information and awareness about the dedicated range of Invisalign treatment options designed specifically for children and teens from well-established products such as Invisalign First™ aligners to the latest additions in the growing patient product portfolio, including the Invisalign ® Palatal Expander System and Invisalign ® System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks ('MAOB'). Doctors can use the Invisalign System to treat nearly any orthodontic case, from children through teens to adults, at the different stages of their growth. Even with some baby teeth, it may be the perfect time for children ages 6 to 10 to start Phase 1 orthodontic treatment. According to the American Association of Orthodontists ('AAO'), children should get screened by an orthodontist by age 7. 2 Phase 1 treatment takes advantage of a child's normal development to help bones in the face and mouth grow correctly and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later. Once most permanent teeth are in place, Phase 2 treatment focuses on ensuring teeth are in their proper place for a healthy bite and a pleasing appearance. 3 'As kids and teens age and grow, orthodontic treatment needs to address both tooth movement and dental facial orthopedic or skeletal movement,' said Dr. Mitra Derakhshan, executive vice president, chief clinical officer, Global Treatment Planning and Clinical Services. 'As the leader in digital orthodontics, Align has developed an extensive end-to-end portfolio that helps doctors treat a range of case types including the most complex cases, and growing patients and kids as young as 6. I believe our new 'Invisalign for Kids' brand and 'Growing Patients' campaigns will help increase confidence in Invisalign treatment for the largest segment of the orthodontic market and drive further adoption among growing patients.' This latest announcement is part of Align's long-term investment in the growing patients' segment of the market which has included multiple innovation milestones over 20 million smiles. Overview of Invisalign products for growing patients: 'Our commitment is to support our doctors in treating patients through every step of their journey – from first visit to a lasting smile. More than 28 years of anonymized data from more than 20 million Invisalign ® patients treated globally have helped Align develop our integrated suite of innovative products and solutions that enable doctors to treat patients over their continuum of care,' said Michael Smith, Align vice president, Product Management. 'This new integrated campaign highlights the unique product offerings within our growing patient portfolio and how we are innovating in digital orthodontics to empower doctors to transform smiles and change lives.' 1.
