Discus Dental Impressions, Inc., has filed an arbitration proceeding today before the American Arbitration Association against Align Technology, Inc., of Santa Clara, Calif.
Discus Dental is a leading national direct manufacturer and supplier to dentists of professional dental products and continuing education.
Align is the manufacturer of the Invisalign System, a method for Correcting tooth misalignment using a progressive system of clear removable appliances that gradually move the patient's teeth to a desired position.
Discus Dental's arbitration claim alleges that Align improperly terminated Discus' exclusive right to market Invisalign to dentists over the next five years (with an additional five year extension) and seeks to recover the substantial amounts Discus is entitled to receive under the parties' agreement.
