Align Braces Clinic Marks 7th Anniversary: Reflecting on Growth and Development


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 February 2026 – Align Braces Clinic celebrates their 7th anniversary this year, marking seven years of growth and expansion in orthodontic services in Singapore. Since its establishment in 2019, the clinic has broadened its range of services and professional teams to support patients’ needs.

A Journey of Growth and Expansion
Align Braces Clinic began operations at Plaza Singapura in 2019 with a team of two orthodontists. Since then, it has grown into a multidisciplinary team comprising four orthodontists, four general dentists, and one oral health therapist. In 2023, the clinic opened a second branch at Parkway Parade Medical Centre to serve patients based in the East.

This expansion has allowed the clinic to broaden its orthodontic services and adopt a range of advanced tools and technologies:

  • Damon self-ligating braces: A fixed appliance system that uses a sliding mechanism rather than the elastic ties used in traditional braces.
  • Digital X-rays: Used for imaging and assessment, digital X-rays offer a more streamlined diagnostic process compared to conventional film.
  • 3D intraoral scanning with iTero scanners: Allows for digital impressions without traditional moulds. This can support case documentation and treatment planning.
  • 3D model printing system: Supports treatment planning by producing accurate models for simulations, appliance fabrication, and patient education.
  • New Invisalign systems for young children: Options such as Invisalign First and the Invisalign Palatal Expander are available for orthodontic treatment in children.

With these tools and resources, the clinic is able to serve a wider patient base across different age groups and treatment preferences while continuing to refine its internal processes.

Notable Milestones and Recognition
In addition to celebrating seven years of operations, the clinic’s anniversary also serves as a point of reflection on their professional milestones.

In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025, Align Braces Clinic was recognised as an Invisalign Platinum Elite provider. This status is awarded to dental practices with yearly extensive use of Invisalign, reflecting consistent use of the clear aligner system in clinical practice. It also indicates the clinic’s ongoing engagement with Invisalign treatment as part of its orthodontic services.

To date, the clinic has managed over 2,000 cases using both braces and Invisalign systems. Treatments at the clinic are also carried out by orthodontists with recognised postgraduate training, such as a Master’s degree in Orthodontics from an accredited university. They have also been accredited as dental specialists in Singapore, which involves fulfilling the requirements set by the Singapore Dental Council (SDC). This may include advanced clinical training and supervised practice.

In addition to clinical work, Align Braces Clinic has participated in community and educational activities. In 2022, it hosted students from South View Primary School as part of an External Career Guidance programme. In 2024, representatives from the clinic were invited as guest speakers for the Inter-Healthcare Camp—an event jointly organised by NUS, NTU, and SIT—designed for students exploring careers in healthcare.

Looking Ahead: Continued Operational Developments
As they commemorate their 7th anniversary, Align Braces Clinic is reviewing ways to broaden their range of orthodontic services. The clinic intends to continue adopting digital tools and technologies to further support their treatment planning and approach. Specialist training remains a priority, with the team participating in professional events such as the Association of Orthodontists (Singapore) Congress to stay updated on developments in the field.

Over the past seven years, Align Braces Clinic has adjusted its operations in response to changes in service requirements and clinical practice. It will continue to review its processes to stay aligned with developments in the orthodontic field.

Hyundai Capital Australia and CEFC Support EV Adoption in Australia

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Capital Services today announced that its Australian subsidiary, Hyundai Capital Australia Pty Ltd (HCAU), is working with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) to support broader adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through discounted finance offerings for eligible customers.

Under the agreement signed with the CEFC on 11 December 2025, Hyundai Capital Australia has launched a new Electric Vehicle Finance Discount Program. The program, launched on 23 January 2026, provides approved customers with a discount off their standard personalised finance interest rate with HCAU on eligible new and demonstrator EVs from the Hyundai and Kia ranges. To qualify, vehicles must have a retail price of $91,387 or less including GST and demonstrator vehicles must have travelled less than 5,000km.

Interest rate discounts vary by vehicle make, with certain EV models eligible for discounts ranging from 0.5% p.a. to 1.00% p.a.. From time to time, HCAU may offer additional campaign incentives, supported by Hyundai and Kia manufacturers, on top of the EV Finance Discount. These incentives may include deposit contributions to reduce the loan amount or further reductions in finance rates, enhancing customer value during promotional periods.

The launch of this program, in collaboration with the CEFC, reflects Hyundai Capital’s commitment to support access to EVs by helping make them more affordable for Australians.

“Electric vehicles are an important part of Australia’s mobility future, but upfront cost can be a barrier for many customers,” said Mr. Donglim Shin, Chief Executive Officer of HCAU. “Working with the CEFC allows us to offer discounted finance on eligible Hyundai Motor Group electric vehicles, making electric vehicle ownership more achievable for Australian customers.”

The HCAU EV Finance Discount, supported by the CEFC, provides an additional incentive for Australians looking to make the switch to an electric vehicle. When combined with existing government initiatives, this offer may help make EV ownership more accessible.

THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT’S COMMEMORATING BLACK HISTORY SILVER COIN SERIES CELEBRATES THE ARTISTRY AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF WEST AFRICAN ADINKRA SYMBOLS

OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Black History Month is celebrated nationwide, the Royal Canadian Mint’s 2026 $20 Fine Silver Coin – Commemorating Black History: Adinkra Symbols pays homage to the rich ancestral heritage of Ghana’s Akan people. Their visual iconography expressing values, proverbs, and historical wisdom has strongly influenced West African culture and holds profound meaning for many Black Canadians. Symbols representing respect, peace, and community merge with Canadian icons on an inspiring 99.99% pure silver collector coin available as of today.

“It is important to the Royal Canadian Mint that our coins help tell a more complete story of Canada by touching on diverse themes that highlight the experiences and cultural heritage of the many people who call Canada home,” said Simon Kamel, Interim President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “As the Mint continues to support the celebration of Black History Month through specially designed collector coins, we are delighted to celebrate the West African roots of many Black Canadians by showcasing the art and spirituality of Adinkra symbols.”

The coin’s reverse design by Canadian artist Kwame Delfish features three concentric rings of traditional Adinkra motifs encircling a central maple leaf representing Canada.  The innermost ring consists of a repeating vertical pairing of two Mpatapo symbols, the peace knot of reconciliation. The second ring features a repeating sequence of Adinkra symbols representing the divinity of Mother Earth, unity in diversity, and the Mekyia Wo symbol of respect and greeting. The outermost ring is anchored at the cardinal points by the maple leaf atop two Mpatapo symbols, echoing the innermost layer, while each quadrant displays symbols representing unity and human relations. The obverse features a maple leaf pattern and the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

“As an artist of Caribbean descent, I am deeply connected to the Adinkra symbols and the ancestral wisdom they carry from West Africa. Each symbol speaks to values of strength, unity, and purpose that continue to guide our communities today,” said coin designer Kwame Delfish. “Initially, I envisioned this design in a square arrangement to pay homage to the Adinkra cloth from which these symbols derived. However, as the design evolved, it became clear the circular arrangement would mirror the continuity of culture, connection, and collective resilience.”

Limited to a mintage of 5,000 coins worldwide, the 2026 $20 Fine Silver Coin – Commemorating Black History: Adinkra Symbols retails for $199.95. This new collectible may be ordered by contacting the Mint at 1-800-267–1871 in Canada, 1-800-268–6468 in the US, or at www.mint.ca. It will also be available at the Royal Canadian Mint’s boutiques in Ottawa and Winnipeg, at participating Canada Post outlets, and through the Mint’s global network of dealers and distributors.

LiberNovo Introduces Enduring Support as a Modern Expression of Love

HONG KONG, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Valentine’s Day, LiberNovo is offering an alternative to gifting chocolates and flowers. Instead of fleeting gestures, LiberNovo is spotlighting something designed to last: enduring support and better comfort, delivered through an innovative Dynamic Ergonomic design.

The LiberNovo Omni, LiberNovo’s wildly popular ergonomic chair, is now available in a new Moss Green color palette. The launch aligns with Valentine’s Day across the US, Canada, and Europe, positioning comfort, care, and long-term well-being as a more modern expression of love.

Real Support Doesn’t Ghost You After V-Day

The LiberNovo Omni doesn’t just hold you—it understands you. While traditional chairs force you to fight with levers and knobs to find a moment of relief, the LiberNovo Omni’s dynamic design acts as your postures better half. Every part of the chair adjusts in sync as you alternate positions, keeping your comfort and support right where you expect them to be. No ghosting.

Enduring Comfort & Support

Valentine‘s gifts often feel meaningful at first, then fade. LiberNovo’s idea of care is simpler. Real support shows up every day.

The LiberNovo Omni is designed for long-term stability, not short-lived romance. Built for adaptability and durability, it delivers consistent comfort across work, rest, and everything in between.

The Bionic FlexFit Backrest follows the natural shape of the spine through an intricate system of 16 articulated joints and 8 pressure-relief panels. These allow the chair to maintain continuous contact as your posture changes, shifting with you rather than against you. Instead of forcing you to fit its expectations, the LiberNovo Omni is designed to support every curve—just as it is.

Moss Green: Bringing Calm into the Workspace

The introduction of the Moss Green LiberNovo Omni adds a new visual dimension to the product line. Inspired by natural environments, Moss Green reflects LiberNovo’s growing focus on natural design principles.

The color is intended to soften the visual tone of workspaces, bringing a sense of calm and balance into home offices and shared living areas. Subtle and understated, Moss Green integrates easily into modern interiors while reinforcing the idea that ergonomic furniture can feel warm rather than clinical.

Designed for Shared Spaces

One of the defining characteristics of the LiberNovo Omni is its ability to adapt between people. It responds in real-time to different body types and sitting styles, making it perfect for shared home offices.

Instead of wrestling with complex presets, finding your fit is intuitive. When a new person sits down, it takes less than a minute to recalibrate. A quick adjustment of the integrated lumbar controls on the armrest, the 4D armrest height and width, and the seat elevation is all it takes to find your fit. It’s professional-grade support that doesn’t require a manual to share.

“No Strings Attached”: A Risk-Free Commitment

A commitment to your physical health shouldn’t be a leap of faith. LiberNovo is introducing a “No Strings Attached” 30-day free trial (including return shipping) across the US, Canada, and Europe. If you don’t fall in love with your LiberNovo Omni within a month—no hard feelings.

Valentine’s Global Launch Offers (Feb 01–Feb 14)

LiberNovo is framing this launch as an open invitation to rethink daily comfort. It’s less about a closing window and more about opening a door to a workspace that works with you—like a partner who actually listens.

  • United States: Moss Green Omni for $829 (was $1,099). First 1,000 orders over $800 get a “Comfort Gift Set” (silk mask, tote, StepSync mat). 0% APR via Klarna.
  • Canada: CA$1,258 (was CA$1,814). First 500 orders over CA$1,200 receive the gift set. 0% APR via Afterpay.
  • Share the Love: Share your referral link for a 2% cash rebate for both you and a friend.

About LiberNovo

LiberNovo is a design-driven ergonomics brand focused on creating products that support the body through movement rather than restriction. Founded by a multidisciplinary team of engineers and designers, the company challenges traditional assumptions about sitting by prioritizing adaptability, balance, and long-term comfort.

The LiberNovo Omni is the brand’s flagship product, representing its vision of Dynamic Ergonomics applied to real workspaces.

This Valentine’s Day, LiberNovo invites people to choose a gift that endures, one that supports focus, comfort, and well-being every single day.

Beyond Avatars: Meet Leadde – The Smarter AI Video Creator for Business

NEW YORK, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Until recently, a well-designed slide deck was considered sufficient. If the information was accurate and the layout was clear, the job was done. That assumption no longer holds true today.

In a world shaped by video-first platforms, distributed teams, and shrinking attention spans, static content increasingly struggles to deliver impact. Companies are under pressure to communicate faster, more clearly, and more globally – without increasing production costs or operational workload.

This is where Leadde comes in. As an AI-powered video platform for business, it transforms everyday documents into engaging, presenter-led videos, helping organizations move seamlessly from ‘read’ to ‘watch.’

The Content Crisis: Why Static Slides Are No Longer Enough

Most companies already have the content they need. Sales decks, training manuals, onboarding PDFs, strategy documents – they’re all there. The challenge is no longer content creation, but content consumption.

Static slides require focused attention, time, and often explanation. A PDF may be comprehensive, but how often is it read end to end? Internal teams skim. External audiences disengage. And critical messages get lost somewhere between slide 12 and page 27.

At the same time, traditional video production remains resource intensive. Scripts, cameras, presenters, and editing cycles – all introduce friction. As a result, many organizations know video works, but find it difficult to scale due to cost and complexity.

The real challenge is efficiency. Businesses need a way to turn existing materials into compelling video content without rebuilding workflows from the ground up.

The Leadde Solution: Transforming ‘Read’ to ‘Watch’

Leadde is built on a simple principle. This is, your content should not change, only the way it is delivered. With Leadde, existing materials become watchable, presenter-led video experiences.

Using Leadde‘s platform, teams can convert PPT to Video, Documents to Video, and PDF to Video in minutes. Instead of static slides or dense text, audiences see a professional AI presenter delivering information clearly, consistently, and at scale.

As an AI video platform for business, Leadde removes the traditional barriers to video production. No cameras. No studios. No voice actors. Just faster communication that holds attention.

The Power of the Expressive IV Engine

At the heart of Leadde‘s experience is the Expressive IV Engine. This goes beyond basic text-to-speech. It’s an intelligent narration designed to reflect how humans present information.

The engine understands pacing, emphasis, and structure. By understanding what’s being said, it dynamically shapes the avatar’s emotional expression, enabling more expressive facial cues and body language. This allows presenters to guide viewers through complex ideas with clarity and intention. The result is video content that feels thoughtful, engaging, and human rather than automated.

This is especially impactful for longer formats like training sessions, product explanations, or executive updates – where clarity and flow matter equally as the message itself.

Hyper-Realistic Avatars and Voice Cloning

Leadde adds a human layer to digital communication. Their hyper-realistic avatars can maintain eye contact, use natural gestures, and introduce information with confidence. It instantly creates trust and familiarity.

For brands that appreciate consistency, voice cloning elevates the personalization experience. Teams can replicate a specific voice on all videos, keeping brand tone unified across departments, regions, and use cases.

January Update: Elevating Efficiency with Intelligent Workflows

Leadde‘s January update focuses on what has the greatest value to modern teams – speed without compromise. The new features aim to reduce manual work while giving creators more control over the final output.

Layered Import: Seamless Integration for PowerPoint Users

PowerPoint remains a core tool for businesses, and Leadde embraces that reality. With Layered Import, users can upload slides while preserving structure, visual hierarchy, and design intent.

This makes the PPT to Video conversion smooth and predictable. Existing decks don’t need redesigning. They simply gain a presenter and a motion. For teams managing large slide libraries, this feature alone can save hours of repetitive work.

Automated Visual Selection: Accelerating Storyboard Creation

When turning Documents to Video or PDF to Video, visual storytelling is often the biggest bottleneck. Leadde‘s Automated Visual Selection solves this by smartly matching content with layouts, visuals, and transitions.

Instead of manually building scenes, users receive a ready-to-watch storyboard that can be refined if needed. It’s a practical balance between automation and creative oversight, which perfectly suits teams seeking speed yet still caring about quality.

Precision Control with ‘Insert’ Playback Mode

Efficiency doesn’t mean losing control. Leadde‘s new ‘Insert’ playback mode allows creators to fine-tune how content is delivered. It covers adding pauses, inserting segments, or emphasizing specific points.

This level of precision particularly performs for instructional videos, compliance training, or technical guidelines – content where timing and clarity are critical.

Scaling Global Reach: Breaking Language Barriers Instantly

For global organizations, language is often the final hurdle. Translating scripts. Recording new voiceovers. Adjusting visuals. Any of these can slow content distribution to a crawl. Leadde removes this friction entirely.

One-Click Multilingual Video Generation

One click and Leadde generates localized versions of the same video in multiple languages – powered by natural-sounding AI voices. It supports 88 languages and 178 dialects, enabling businesses to share their message globally while avoiding repetitive work or additional costs.

Sales enablement, onboarding, and training content can now reach international teams at the same time, with consistent messaging across regions.

The New AI Localization Toolkit (Image & Video Translation)

Leadde‘s AI Localization Toolkit goes beyond narration. It translates on-screen text in images and videos to ensure that every visual element aligns with the selected language.

The full-spectrum localization approach makes Leadde especially valuable for enterprises operating across diverse markets. That’s where clarity and cultural relevance go a long way.

Conclusion: Redefining the Standard for Corporate Content Strategy

Leadde represents a shift in how businesses think about content efficiency. Instead of creating more materials, teams can extract more value from what they already have – by making it watchable, scalable, and human.

With high-quality video output, low production costs, and maximum performance, Leadde sets a new benchmark for corporate communication. Want to convert PPT to Video? Documents to Video? Or PDF to Video? Whatever your goal, the platform empowers you to move faster without sacrificing quality.

In the era of limited attention and high expectations, Leadde is that AI video platform for business – one that helps speak clearly, globally, and at scale.
