HENRY SCHEIN INTRODUCES PROPRIETARY SLX™ CLEAR ALIGNER SYSTEM

Enters Growing Market with Intuitive and Simplified Treatment Process Based on Innovative Sagittal First/Motion 3D Technology

MELVILLE, N.Y., May 4, 2018 – Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the world's largest provider of health care products and services to office-based dental, animal health, and medical practitioners, announced today that it has entered the rapidly growing market for orthodontic aligners with its proprietary SLX™ Clear Aligner System.

The SLX™ Clear Aligner System is a complete solution that incorporates the popular Sagittal First/Motion 3D technology, a proprietary offering of the Company’s Henry Schein Orthodontics (HSO) business. According to HSO’s lead clinical advisor, Dr. Dave Paquette, Sagittal First/Motion 3D can significantly reduce the number of aligners needed for use in a typical case, providing meaningful time savings and clinical benefits to doctors and patients alike.

This new and innovative system offers clinicians and patients an intuitive and simplified treatment process, and was introduced today by Henry Schein Orthodontics at the annual session of the American Association of Orthodontists, in Washington, D.C.

The SLX™ Clear Aligner System, which has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, uses patented manufacturing processes to achieve aligner clarity and a precise fit for greater comfort and improved tooth control. The SLX™ Clear Aligner web portal will accept STL digital impressions from all leading intraoral scanners and, combined with an open-source platform, is easy to use.

“Henry Schein is committed to providing clinicians with the most advanced and patient-friendly treatment options available,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “With the launch of SLX™ Clear Aligners, based on the Sagittal First/Motion 3D technology, we are advancing that mission while positioning the Company globally as a full-solution provider of innovative orthodontic products. We see considerable growth opportunities in this market, and we are pleased to provide clinicians a new way of satisfying the oral health needs of their patients.”

The SLX™ Clear Aligner System provides an enhanced aesthetic orthodontic treatment option for consumers, as well as an easy-to-use case submission and treatment planning process for clinicians that offers high-quality outcomes. SLX™ Clear Aligners join HSO’s growing family of innovative SLX™ Orthodontic solutions.

“HSO is excited to be entering the large and growing market for clear aligners,” said Ted Dreifuss, General Manager of Henry Schein Orthodontics. “Clear aligners are gaining wider acceptance among patients and orthodontic providers alike. We have designed our aligner solution to provide a new choice for patients who are looking for either a simple aesthetic solution to problems such as minor crowding or for those requiring more extensive work to

correct issues such as bite problems and moderate or severe crowding.  With our easy-to-use intuitive interface, we believe orthodontists will spend less time submitting and approving their cases, further enhancing Henry Schein’s mission to help clinicians focus on providing quality care.”

With today’s launch, Henry Schein Orthodontics will begin registration and training immediately. Case submission will begin on May 25.
