(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
2018 Grant Application Process Now Open for up to $300,000 in Funding
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - November 01, 2017) - Align Technology,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) today announced the opening of its 2018 Research Award
Program to support clinical and scientific dental research in universities
across the globe. This year, up to $300,000 will be awarded to university
faculty for scientific and technological research initiatives to advance patient
care in the fields of orthodontics and dentistry.
"Through our Research Award Program, Align Technology has funded over $1.7
million in research awards since its inception in 2010 providing insights which
include tooth movement efficacy with clear aligner therapy, oral hygiene and
microbial bacteria presence or absence with clear aligners, and comparisons in
quality of life with aligners as compared to fixed appliances. For example,
treatment with Invisalign clear aligners finished 5 months faster on average
than treatment with braces* based on the awarded research," said Zelko Relic,
Align Technology vice president research and development. "We are honored to
enable the research in orthodontics and dentistry with a goal to improve
orthodontic and dental treatment for communities around the globe."
Awards available for 2018 are four one-year awards of up to $25,000 each for
dental research at universities in North America and eight one-year awards of up
to $25,000 each for dental research at International universities.
Eligible applicants for the dental research award component include full- and
