Align Technology Opens Invisalign® Treatment Planning and Training Facility in Germany - Seite 2

Localizing Digital Treatment Planning and Customer Support
Until recently, Invisalign treatment planning for all EMEA providers was conducted in Align's treatment planning facility in San Jose, Costa Rica.  The new Cologne treatment facility will now support Invisalign providers throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein. As part of the digital treatment planning process, a team of CAD designers and clinical specialists will provide treatment planning and digital case setups, working closely with Invisalign-trained orthodontists and general practitioners to create bespoke digital orthodontic treatment plans for patients. The state-of-the-art facility will also serve as a training and education center for Invisalign providers to learn more about Invisalign treatment for a wide range of treatment cases, including the most complex types of malocclusion.

Establishing a Cologne-based facility also enables continuous improvement to the overall experience of Invisalign providers. With local language fluency, communication and lead times can be greatly improved. German-trained treatment planning technicians (designers) will evaluate the clinical aspects, ensuring Align high quality and incorporate local clinical preferences into the treatment planning process. In addition, the local clinical team will be better positioned to support Invisalign providers with treatment-related questions.

Align Technology has been present in the German market since 2003 with local offices and now the new treatment planning facility based in Cologne. By 2019, Align plans to employ approximately 150 staff members to the treatment planning facility to support the expanding region.
