Align Technology plans printed sports mouthguards after topping 1 billion in Q3

Align Technology, listed on Nasdaq as ALGN, plans to use direct 3D printing for custom sports mouthguards, extending its additive manufacturing work beyond aligner production. The company reported third-quarter 2026 revenue above 1 billion US dollars, according to a 3DPrint.com report. The report is a brief teaser, so further details on the mouthguard launch, its timing and its production approach are not available here. The move shows how a major dental aligner maker is applying direct printing to a new consumer product line.
