Angel will comply with the court's ruling, including the return of any products.

Continuous innovation means anticipating challenges and preparing solutions to protect the customer experience. Our transition to Pressure Points reflects that commitment. We are determined to continue developing innovative solutions so that orthodontists can rely on Angel over the long term.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> To learn more, visit angelaligner.com\u002Feu and \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fedge.prnewswire.com\u002Fc\u002Flink\u002F?t=0&l=en&o=4799856-1&h=1991481965&u=https%3A%2F%2Fedge.prnewswire.com%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4788316-1%26h%3D1563296471%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fedge.prnewswire.com%252Fc%252Flink%252F%253Ft%253D0%2526l%253Den%2526o%253D4726886-1%2526h%253D4277931320%2526u%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.angelaligner.com%25252F%2526a%253Dwww.angelaligner.com%26a%3Dwww.angelaligner.com&a=www.angelaligner.com\">www.angelaligner.com.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> About Angelalign Technology Inc.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Founded in 2003 and publicly listed since 2021, Angelalign Technology Inc. provides clear aligner solutions to clinically focused professionals and patients in over 60 countries.
