Explanatory Note

Align Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 to deregister certain securities previously registered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2006 (Registration No. 333-134477) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Shares”) for issuance, offer or sale pursuant to the Company's 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2001 ESPP”).

In May 2010, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which replaced the 2001 ESPP. No further Shares will be issued under the 2001 ESPP. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby amends the Registration Statement by deregistering all Shares that were registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
