Angel Aligner upgrades Torque Ridges to 'Pressure Points' in Europe

Angelalign Technology Inc. (6699.HK) has launched its new 'Pressure Points' feature in the European market, replacing the company's previous 'Torque Ridges' functionality. The announcement, made on October 2, 2026, highlights the company's commitment to improving the predictability and clinical effectiveness of orthodontic treatments.

The 'Pressure Points' feature is the result of ongoing research aimed at enhancing clinical outcomes for orthodontists. It utilizes dimple-like indentations designed to apply specific forces to teeth for torque correction, offering a more predictable method compared to previous techniques. The company states that this upgrade increases tooth surface contact by 25% for better control over tooth movement, particularly with scalloped trimline options.

Angelalign reports that the new 'Pressure Points' are designed for greater precision and digital scalability compared to traditional hand-made indentations. This advancement is intended to offer orthodontists improved control over treatment plans. The feature initially supports torque correction and is planned to be expanded to include rotation and intrusion corrections in the future.

The 'Pressure Points' feature is currently available to orthodontists in Europe, with plans for a worldwide rollout. Angelalign Technology Inc., established in 2003, is a global provider of clear aligner solutions for orthodontic professionals in over 60 countries, focusing on clinical innovation and professional support.

This development underscores Angelalign's continuous effort to innovate within the clear aligner industry, responding to the evolving needs of dental professionals and their patients. The company aims to facilitate more accurate and efficient treatment processes through technological advancements.
