Align Technology, Inc. announced on April 24, 2025, the commercial availability of its Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks (MAOB) in the United States and Canada. This innovative solution is designed specifically for Class II skeletal and dental correction in growing patients aged 10-16.
The MAOB system is Align’s first clear aligner product with integrated solid occlusal blocks, which deliver predictable mandibular advancement while simultaneously aligning teeth. These occlusal blocks provide durability, improve engagement, and enable vertical opening, enhancing treatment efficiency for cases like Class II deep bite.
Class II malocclusion is a prevalent orthodontic problem, affecting approximately 30-45% of malocclusions globally. The launch in North America, Align's largest market for growing patients, expands the capabilities of the Invisalign System and aims to advance clear aligners as the standard of care in digital orthodontics.
