I’m a little late on this post, but wanted to reflect a bit on how big of a year 2017 was for orthodontics. Especially in the world of clear aligners. Back in October, Invisalign had a number of their patents expire, thereby ceding part of their long-held monopoly on clear aligners. And by the end of December, Align Technology — the parent company that owns Invisalign — had the top-performing stock among S&P 500 companies. Yes, you read that right. Take that, finance, tech, and med friends! A dental company was on top of the stock market in 2017.
