Align Technology, Inc. is an American manufacturer of 3D digital scanners and Invisalign clear aligners used in orthodontics and restorative workflow.

The company is best known for its Invisalign system, which is a clear aligner treatment used to straighten teeth.

Two Stanford students, Zia Chishti and Kelsey Wirth, founded the company in 1997 on the idea that a series of clear plastic trays could move teeth without brackets and wire, and Invisalign became the product that defined the category. The business depends on persuading general dentists as well as orthodontists to prescribe it, which is why so much spend goes to practitioner training and consumer marketing. Intraoral scanners were added to control the digital step that feeds tray manufacturing. Case volume tracks discretionary consumer spending more closely than most medical devices. Headquarters are in Tempe, Arizona.

A protective put caps your downside on the ALGN position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current ALGN option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share ALGN position at $167.91 is worth $839,550. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $16,791 to $33,582) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off ALGN's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Align Technology equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge ALGN stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and ALGN's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current ALGN option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Align Technology grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Align Technology typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
