SAN JOSE, Calif., June 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Align Technology,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today announced its Invisalign®
brand has teamed up with volleyball champion Gabrielle (Gabby) Reece, surf legend Laird
Hamilton and their active teenage daughter Reece, to talk about the
benefits of Invisalign treatment. This iconic family in
the world of health and wellness began their orthodontic treatment
with Invisalign clear aligners in May
2017 and will share their first-hand experience as
Invisalign brand ambassadors. Connecting with consumers, fans and
followers, the family will give a behind-the-scenes look as they
live through their treatment journey documented via the Invisalign
brand's YouTube channel.
"We are firm believers in feeling good inside and out,
and an important aspect of that is having a great smile and a
healthy mouth. We are excited about Invisalign treatment, and
teaming up with the Invisalign brand to empower others who want to
further excel in life by doing the things that help them reach
their personal goals," said fitness icon and mother, Gabby Reece.
"As a family, we love that Invisalign clear aligners can treat each
of our unique needs, while allowing us to continue our very active
lifestyles without any interference – it's a natural fit for
us!"
Gabby and Laird embody what it means to lead a truly healthy and
dynamic lifestyle through ongoing personal development. They are
committed to proper nutrition and exercise consistently, even as
they travel between California and
Hawaii, and know that Invisalign
treatment is flexible enough to be a part of their busy lives. They
also share the same perspective on the importance of raising
strong, confident teens that embrace the positive life choices a
person can make to look and feel their best. With features like
compliance indicators and eruption tabs designed especially for
teens, Invisalign treatment was a perfect match for their
13-year-old daughter Reece. From playing tennis and Jujitsu to
keeping up with her typical teenager social lifestyle, Reece knew
she didn't want metal braces to shift her teeth over due to a
dental accident she had when she was a little girl.
"We are thrilled to have Gabby, Laird and their daughter Reece
improving their smiles with Invisalign clear aligners and sharing
their experience with the world," said Raphael Pascaud, Align Technology Chief
Marketing Officer. "Their dedication to inspire people to live
healthy lifestyles that lead to self-confidence is directly in line
with the brand's new 'Made to Move' campaign, which focuses on the
desire that all people have to move forward in life."
Invisalign is the most advanced clear aligner system in the
world with more than 4.5 million smiles created worldwide.
Continued Invisalign product innovation including "G-Series"
features, SmartTrack aligner material, and clinically proven
treatment predictability allows Align Technology to confidently
recommend orthodontists to now prescribe one-week wear instead of
two-week aligner wear providing up to 50% shorter treatment time.
Only the Invisalign system combines SmartTrack material with
SmartForce features and SmartStage technology to provide more
predictable tooth movement than ever before. For more information,
