Align Technology launches research award programme for 2017

Align Technology has announced the return of its annual research award programme, which it has funded annually since 2010.

The scheme is designed to promote clinical and scientific dental research in universities worldwide, with four one-year awards of $25,000 (19,800 pounds) available for dental research at universities in North America, with eight similar awards offered for International universities.

Full and part-time faculties involved in dental or scientific research at universities at which Invisalign treatment is available are eligible for the awards, with all applications reviewed by an independent academic committee that forwards its recommendations to Align for final selection.

This programme, which is worth more than $300,000 in total, comes as part of a wider commitment by Align to support scientific and technological advancement of patient care within the field of dentistry and orthodontics.

John Morton, Align Technology's senior technical fellow, said: "It is extremely rewarding to see the diversity of research topics submitted to the program and an honour for Align Technology to support such excellent research to advance the field of dentistry."
