Henry Schein One has announced a direct data integration between Align Technology’s iTero intraoral scanners and its core practice management platform —  Dentally — creating a seamless connection between digital scanning, diagnosis, and daily operations for practices worldwide.

Developed in collaboration with Align Technology, the integration automatically imports iTero scans into patient records, eliminating manual uploads, duplicate workflows, and system switching. This integration with iTero scanners enables teams to move efficiently from scan to care within a single, connected environment and was achieved as a result of significant technology and resource investments.

“Today’s dental teams need technology that supports clinical confidence as much as operational efficiency,” said Dr Ryan Hungate, Chief Clinical and Strategy Officer at Henry Schein One. “As a result of these technology investments, clinicians have immediate access to diagnostic insights inside their Dentrix, Ascend, and Dentally workflow —providing an opportunity to strengthen decision-making at scale.”

The integration simplifies daily operations, supports care coordination, and enables practices to spend more time with patients and less time managing technology. Through Dentally, these connected workflows extend to cloud-native practices across the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, US and New Zealand markets, supporting consistent digital dentistry worldwide.

Align Technology is a global medical device company with industry-leading innovative products including the Invisalign® System, iTero™ intraoral scanners and digital services, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software. Over the past 28 years, Align has helped doctors treat more than 22 million patients with the Invisalign System.

“Digital solutions are transforming how care is delivered within dental practices,” said Sreelakshmi Kolli, Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Digital Officer, Align Technology. “This integration enables clinicians to move from insight to action faster and deliver an enhanced patient experience.”

This integration seamlessly imports iTero scans directly into the patient chart — supporting efficient treatment planning workflows, stronger documentation, and scalable digital dentistry without added complexity.

The iTero scanner is a cutting-edge digital imaging system that transforms the way dental professionals capture and visualize oral anatomy. Designed for speed, accuracy, and patient comfort, iTero scanners produce high-resolution 3D scans in seconds supporting enhanced digital orthodontic and restorative workflows to help improve patient outcomes and practice efficiencies. Seamlessly integrated with Invisalign® treatment planning, iTero technology enables clinicians to simulate outcomes, track progress, and deliver comprehensive personalized and restorative care with confidence.

iTero scanners join an expanding lineup of devices securely integrated with our open platform. The iTero–Dentrix–Dentrix Ascend–Dentally integration is now available to eligible customers in North America and select international markets, with additional regions planned, depending on regulatory clearance and local requirements.
