(1)

This Registration Statement covers such indeterminable number of additional shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Align Technology, Inc. as may hereafter be offered or issued pursuant to the Align Technology, Inc. 2005 Incentive Plan (as amended) (the “2005 Plan”) to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits or similar transactions effected without receipt of consideration and pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(2)

This Registration Statement covers 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 2005 Plan. In addition, this Registration Statement covers 4,000 shares of Common Stock previously registered for offer or sale under the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”) on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on February 5, 2001 (Registration No. 333-55020) (the “Initial Registration Statement”). The 4,000 shares previously registered for offer or sale under the 2001 Plan have not been issued and may be offered and sold under the 2005 Plan (the “Carryover Shares”). In connection with the Initial Registration Statement, the registrant paid a total registration fee of $41,657 of which $14 related to the Carryover Shares. Pursuant to Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Division of Corporation Finance’s Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations dated July 1997 and Instruction E to the General Instructions of Form S-8, the registrant has carried forward the registration fee related to the Carryover Shares. Therefore, no further registration fee is required with respect to the Carryover Shares. The registrant is concurrently filing a Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Initial Registration Statement to deregister 4,000 unissued shares.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In May 2005, the stockholders of Align Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) approved the 2005 Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which replaced the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”). In May 2011, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment of the 2005 Plan which increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan by 3,000,000 shares. As a result, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is 16,283,379, plus up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares that would have been returned to the Company’s 2001 Plan as a result of termination of options or repurchases of shares. No awards have been granted under the 2001 Plan since May 2005.

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 relates to the registration of (i) 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan, and (ii) the 4,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Carryover Shares”) previously registered on Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on February 5, 2001 (Registration No. 333-55020) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) carried over from the 2001 Plan to the 2005 Plan. None of the Carryover Shares may be issued under the 2001 Plan; such Carryover Shares may only be issued, offered and sold under the 2005 Plan.

In accordance with the principals set forth in Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Division of Corporation Finance’s Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations dated July 1997 and Instruction E to the General Instructions of Form S-8, this Registration Statement on Form S-8 carries forward the $14 registration fee previously paid with respect to the Carryover Shares and as a result, only an additional registration fee of $6,653 is required. The Company is filing a post-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement to deregister the Carryover Shares contemporaneously with the filing of this Registration Statement.

Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include in its charter documents and in agreements between the corporation and its directors and officers provisions expanding the scope of indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the current law. Section 145 also provides that a corporation has the power to maintain insurance on behalf of its officers and directors against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of Section 145.

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

The Registrant enters into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and the Registrant intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

In addition, subject to the limits set forth in such policies, the directors and officers of the Registrant are insured under polices of insurance maintained by the Registrant against certain losses arising from any claims made against them by reason of being or having been such director or officer.

Item 9.

Undertakings.

(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1.

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement, and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in the periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

 

2.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such

indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
