Our products and services require our customers and consumers to forego traditional treatment methods. For example, Invisalign treatment is a significant departure from traditional orthodontic wires and brackets, and our customers and consumers may not find it cost-effective or preferable. A number of dental professionals believe Invisalign treatment is only appropriate for a limited percentage of patients. Additionally, our clear aligners and iTero products utilize digital technology and some dental professionals have and may continue to resist moving to a digital platform. Increased acceptance of our products and services depends in part on the recommendations of dental professionals, professional associations, societies and organizations, as well as other factors, including efficacy, safety, ease of use, reliability, aesthetics, third-party reimbursement, price compared to competing products and traditional treatment methods, and perceptions regarding single-use or non-recyclable plastics. If demand for our products or services fails to increase, or decreases, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Our net revenues depend primarily on sales of the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners and declines in volume or ASP may adversely affect net revenues, gross profit and net income.

Our net revenues are primarily dependent on sales of the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners. Of the two, we expect the Invisalign System to continue to represent the majority of our net revenues, making sales of it critical to our success. 

The ASPs of our products, particularly the Invisalign System, are influenced by numerous factors, including the mix of product treatment packages, geographical mix, channel mix and timing of products sold (particularly the timing and quantity of

orders for additional clear aligners for certain Invisalign products), promotions and discounts and foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we sell our products at different prices and with varying shipping and handling charges or processing fees that may differ by country. Our ASPs for the Invisalign System and iTero intraoral scanners have been and could in the future be adversely affected if: 

•we offer promotions or general or volume-based discount programs, product or services bundles, large account sales or consumer rebate programs;

•participation in promotions or programs unexpectedly increases, decreases or changes demand in material ways; 

•our geographic, channel or product mix shifts to lower-priced products or to products with a higher percentage of deferred revenue;

•we decrease prices or are unable to increase prices on one or more products or services in response to increasing competitive pricing pressures;

•we introduce new or change
