Episode Details

In this episode, Howard Farran sits down with Joseph Hogan, President and CEO of Align Technology — the company behind Invisalign and the iTero scanner. Hogan brings an extraordinary executive background to the conversation, having led ABB, a $40 billion global automation company, and spent 25 years at General Electric, including eight years as CEO of GE Healthcare, where he more than doubled revenues from $7 billion to $16 billion.

The discussion explores where Align is focusing its efforts to meet dentists where they are today, the recent innovations Hogan is most excited about, and what separates the most successful Invisalign-trained doctors from the rest. Howard and Hogan dig into Align's approach to AI across its product portfolio, how the company is leveraging additive manufacturing and 3D printing, and its plans for direct fabrication. They also examine trends among growing patients, how Invisalign fits into ortho-restorative workflows, and the biggest challenges Align is hearing from doctors around training and education. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion on expanding global access to clear aligner therapy and what excites Hogan most about the future of orthodontics and digital dentistry.
