The biggest decliner this month? Align Technologies.

Align Technology is a medical device company best known for its Invisalign clear aligners, which provide an alternative to traditional metal braces.
Its business also includes iTero scanners and digital orthodontic tools that help dentists and orthodontists design and monitor treatments.
Align is down because of:
Slower demand in North America as consumers delay elective dental procedures
Pricing pressure from new competitors in the clear aligner market
