SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Oct. 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Angelalign Technology Inc., a global leader in orthodontic clear aligner technology, has introduced a new feature called Pressure Points in Europe, marking a significant advancement in torque control for clear aligners. This upgrade replaces the company's current Torque Ridges and is part of Angel's ongoing commitment to innovation and solving clinical challenges faced by orthodontists.
Pressure Points, engineered through extensive research, aims to enhance the predictability and effectiveness of torque corrections. The new feature is designed to deliver more consistent force application, greater tooth contact, and improved accuracy and scalability.
The new feature provides a high trimline option that covers the entire tooth surface and up to 2 millimeters of the gingiva, offering orthodontists a more effective tool for torque expression. The simplified dimple shape of Pressure Points allows for force application at or close to the center of the pressure point, ensuring a more predictable outcome. Additionally, the 25% increase in tooth surface contact in the single pressure point configuration allows for better control of tooth movement when using a scalloped trimline.
Angelalign Technology Inc., founded in 2003 and publicly listed since 2021, has provided clear aligner solutions to over 60 countries. With a market capitalization of approximately US$2 billion and over two million cumulative cases, the company continues to focus on clinical innovation and professional support to help orthodontists achieve exceptional outcomes. Pressure Points is now available to orthodontists in Europe, with global distribution planned. The company will continue to incorporate engineering research and clinical feedback to introduce further innovations and additional configurations in the future.
From Torque Ridges to Pressure Points, Angel Aligner's high trimline options provide a clinical tool for more effective torque expression by covering the entire tooth surface and up to 2 millimeters of the gingiva. Hand-made dimples have long been used to help aligners apply targeted force to teeth for correction of torque and rotation by clinicians. Building on observations from its research, Angel engineered Pressure Points to make the force application more predictable than current methods.
The new Pressure Points has been engineered to deliver: - Predictable force application: The simplified dimple shape allows for the force to be applied at or close to the center of the pressure point. - Greater tooth contact: A 25% increase in tooth surface contact in the single pressure point configuration allows better control of tooth movement when a scalloped trimline is used. - Accuracy and scalability: Pressure Points opens the way for more digital accuracy and scalability than hand-made pressure points.
Angelalign Technology Inc. has a strong track record of innovation, having launched the angelButton™ in the past. This new feature, Pressure Points, is part of the company's ongoing efforts to enhance the clinical predictability and effectiveness of its clear aligner technology. The company is committed to continuing its research and incorporating feedback from orthodontists to improve its offerings.
Pressure Points is now available to orthodontists in Europe, with global distribution planned. The company will continue to guide orthodontists in using Pressure Points to achieve more accurate and predictable outcomes in their patients' treatment plans.
