Align Technology Q3 revenue rises 1.9% to $1.015bn as aligner volume grows

🇺🇸 Align Technology Inc (ALGN) · Wed 28 Oct 2026

The Invisalign and iTero maker reported higher aligner sales but weaker scanner revenue, and said discretionary dental spending remains soft.

Align Technology (Nasdaq: ALGN), which makes Invisalign clear aligners and iTero intraoral scanners, reported third-quarter 2026 results on 28 October. Revenue was $1.015bn, up 1.9%. Clear Aligner volume grew 6.6%.

The two main business lines moved in opposite directions. Clear Aligner revenue rose 4.2%, while revenue from imaging and CAD/CAM systems fell 7.6%. Diluted earnings per share were $1.90, or $2.80 on a non-GAAP basis.

The company also began a U.S. pilot of a 3D-printed Invisalign Sports Guard. It noted that discretionary dental spending is weak, which is the market backdrop for the quarter's results.

The material available to VigiEye was a summary of the results, not the full release. Details such as regional performance, guidance and the regulatory status of the sports guard are therefore not covered here.

What it means for your team

  • Clear aligners are generally regulated as medical devices, so volume growth also means a larger installed base for post-market surveillance and complaint handling.
  • The sports guard pilot is limited to the U.S. at this stage. Teams tracking the product should check its regulatory classification and any expansion plans directly with the company.
  • The company's own comment on weak discretionary dental spending, together with the fall in scanner revenue, points to cautious purchasing of dental capital equipment.
