Shanghai, China, 21 May 2021—— Aceh Technologies recently announced that it has more than 10 million Invisalign users globally, including more than one million in the Asia Pacific region. To celebrate and commemorate this important milestone, AIQ donated $10 million to the AIQ Foundation to partner with more organisations around the world to reshape smiles, support the growth and education of young people, and empower doctors to grow.

　　We are grateful for the support of millions of Invisalign smiles.

　　Nowadays, a healthy, confident smile has gradually become a "must have" in modern work and life. AQI Technology is always committed to using the most advanced digital orthodontic technology to support orthodontists to bring bright smiles and self-confidence to the majority of patients.

　　Commenting on the 10 million Invisalign smile milestone, Mr Joe Hogan, CEO of AceSmart, expressed his gratitude to orthodontists and the 10 million Invisalign users: "The rate of growth we've achieved globally and the use of the Invisalign system is remarkable, especially when you think about the fact that initially, it took 10 years to reach one million users, and now, with one million more users worldwide, it's a great opportunity for the world to see how the Invisalign system can help patients achieve their goals. Now, adding 1 million new Invisalign users worldwide took us 6 months to achieve. We would like to thank our physician partners and their patients for their trust, as well as our 20,000 employees around the world for their combined efforts. To celebrate the 10 million Invisalign smiles milestone, we donated $10 million to the Azzie Foundation to support organisations closely aligned with our vision ‘Reinventing Smiles, Changing Lives’ and to support youth development and education, as well as partnering with learning organisations and foundations to support physician growth and empower physicians."

　　Not forgetting the original intention, ploughing deep into the local market, and sailing with China's doctors

　　Since entering China in 2007, AQI Technology has insisted on working closely with Chinese orthodontists, continuously developing and innovating digital invisible orthodontic technology, and committing to bringing Chinese patients the most appropriate and high-quality treatment solutions.

　　As the second largest market in the world, China is also one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Aegis Technologies has been continuously cultivating the local market and increasing its investment in the Chinese market. It has set up a solution design centre in Chengdu and training centres in Chengdu and Shanghai to provide more Chinese doctors with end-to-end digital invisible orthodontic technology training based on Invisalign and iTero intraoral scanning. With the commissioning of the intelligent production base in Ziyang in 2020, China has become the only country in the world where Aceh has design, production, commercial and training teams at the same time.

　　Now that we have reached the milestone of 10 million Invisalign smiles, Aegis Technologies would like to thank each and every Chinese orthodontist for their support and Chinese patients for their trust," said Ms Zhu Hua Zhen, Vice President of Aegis Technologies China. China is a very important market for AceSmart and has great opportunities for growth. AceSmart will continue to work closely with Chinese doctors to innovate and work together with them to help Chinese patients to smile beautifully and confidently with more efficient digital Invisalign technology."
