Align Technology Hits 692,000 Aligner Cases — Is The Digital Flywheel Accelerating?

Align Technology reported second quarter 2026 revenues of $1.06 billion, representing a 4.3% year-over-year increase driven primarily by record Clear Aligner volumes of 692,000 cases and 8.2% growth in Clear Aligner revenues. Clear Aligner average selling prices (ASPs) rose modestly, contributing to gross margin expansion, with non-GAAP operating margins at 22.9%, exceeding company expectations. International markets, particularly Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), and Latin America, demonstrated double-digit volume growth, supported by ongoing adoption among orthodontists, general practitioner dentists, and dental service organizations (DSOs). North American volumes remained relatively stable overall, with strength in orthodontic and DSO channels offsetting softer retail demand. Initiatives such as patient financing, clinical support programs, doctor subscription offerings, and practice productivity tools aided adoption and utilization. However, the Systems and Services segment, including the iTero intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM offerings, experienced revenue declines of 10.8% year-over-year to $185.3 million.
