Align Tech (ALGN) Total Clear Aligner Shipments

Counts the total shipments of clear aligners, indicating overall demand and the company's ability to capture market share in the dental industry.

Align’s shipment growth is being driven by an accelerating teen segment while adults remain the much larger but slower-growing base. Teen volumes have climbed markedly year-over-year, signaling stronger adoption and an expanding addressable market among younger patients; adults show clear seasonality (Q3 dips) but regained momentum in 2025–26. For investors, rising teen penetration implies higher lifetime value and structural demand upside, while adult stabilization means future upside will depend on incremental penetration, pricing or new services.
