SAN FRANCISCO, California – OrthoClear, Inc., the maker of "The Next Generation in Invisible Orthodontics" announced the launch of the company's OrthoTouch™ technology at the 106th Annual Session of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) in Las Vegas today.

The OrthoTouch™ technology uses motion-sensing gloves to enable clinicians to maneuver a patient's 3-D dental image. The gloves provide five-finger feedback to the clinician's desktop which translates to specific tooth movements.

Currently, doctors who treat patients with clear aligners are limited to using a standard computer screen and mouse to interact with and control a patient's 3-D model. OrthoTouch™ provides OrthoClear doctors with the ability to interact with their patients' OrthoView digital models using specially designed gloves and a holographic display that provides true 3-D visualization.

"We're very excited to introduce the OrthoTouch™ technology to dental practitioners. We feel this technology brings us a significant step closer to offering doctors the experience of physically interacting with a patient's teeth during the course of treatment," said Zia Chishti, Chief Executive Officer for OrthoClear. "Our R&D team will continue to develop technology that makes OrthoClear aligners the most effective and user-friendly option for doctors."

Charlie Wen, OrthoClear's President and Chief Technology Officer added, "With OrthoTouch™, doctors can treat patients to a standard never before seen in the industry. They get a level of accuracy and interactivity that approaches that of working directly in a patient's mouth."

OrthoClear will be demonstrating OrthoTouch™ for doctors at the AAO.
