21 May 2022 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Opportunity to enhance practice
efficiency and patient care with an integrated work management
solution that includes HIPAA compliant features designed
specifically for the Invisalign system
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 an agreement with Asana, Inc. (NYSE:
ASAN) (LTSE: ASAN), a leading work management platform for teams.
The strategic partnership will offer Invisalign trained doctors in
the U.S. a new workflow solution, Asana Smiles™ for Align.
Asana Smiles™ for Align provides a customizable workflow
solution to help orthodontic and dental practices keep track of
tasks connected to the lifecycle of a patients’ Invisalign
treatment journey. Booking consultations, submitting prescriptions,
monitoring ClinCheck® software treatment plans, and preparing for
aligner delivery appointments can be easily organized, tracked and
communicated across a practice in Asana. This solution can be
implemented directly or as an additive solution for practices with
other software currently in place.
“As doctors continue to move from analog to digital processes
and workflows in dentistry and orthodontics, selecting the right
work management solution for their practices is a key decision,”
said Simon Beard, Align Technology executive vice president and
managing director, Americas. “Through this agreement, doctors will
have access to a new option that helps minimize manual processes
and creates a clear view of Invisalign treatment workflows from
prospective patients through treatment to retention.”
“There is a high degree of complexity in managing a successful
orthodontic practice,” noted Heather Stone Hopkins DMD, MS,
orthodontist and owner of Palmetto Smiles in Lexington, SC.
“Creating an automated workflow with Asana Smiles has been a
welcome addition for both me and my team. Due to its intuitive
nature, implementation was a breeze. The ability to integrate
Invisalign treatment information and tasks with my workflow has
introduced a number of efficiencies including improved delegation
and accountability with my team. This allows me as the doctor to
keep my focus where it belongs, on treating my patients.”
“Leveraging the power of the Asana Work Graph®, we help
organizations of all sizes improve their workflows by connecting
work across teams and functions and automating historically manual
work processes. This allows them to have more time to focus on
what’s most important – creating consistent customer experiences
and growing their businesses,” said Anne Raimondi, Chief Operating
Officer, Asana. “We’re thrilled to partner with Align to make this
solution available to dental and orthodontic practices across the
country.”
This new solution will be showcased at the American Association
of Orthodontists' Annual Session in Miami Beach, Florida May 21-24,
2022, Align Technology booth and available next month for U.S.
based doctors and practices, with future expansion efforts to be
announced. To join the waitlist, visit.
