We’ve got a list of green flags to help you in your search! 

Whoever you decide to start your aligner treatment with, the team at Impress want you to make sure your choice is a great one.

What is Impress Orthodontics?

Impress has created a revolutionary system of orthodontic care, specifically pioneering clear aligners with the use of support from advanced dental technology to transform smiles the world over.

Since we began our journey as pioneers in orthodontic treatment and dental technology in 2019, we’ve grown from our origins in Barcelona to serving patients in 10 countries worldwide, with 110 clinics to choose from.

Our orthodontic technology and app mean you can straighten your teeth without stress. Impress is legit and leading in dentistry.

Let’s take a look at what that means…

A hybrid treatment model for teeth straightening? Yep.

It’s important to us that everyone has a smile on their face that they’re proud of. We work hard to make sure you can be supported by our orthodontists in the clinic and our medical team of experts in between your visits, too.

Digital dentistry

As an Impress patient, you’ll have access to our app, where you can upload photos of your progress for our GDC-dentists to review, making sure your treatment is on track. This mix of in-person and remote visits is one of the features our patients love the most. Just take a look at some of these reviews:

"I’m very happy with my treatment using the Invisible aligners from Impress! It’s truly a much faster, more comfortable, and discreet solution for aligning teeth. Plus, the service through the app is very practical, and the doctor replies quickly. Thank you, Impress, for supporting me so well on this journey."

Andreia, a happy patient!

"I received a friendly welcome as soon as I stepped in, received very clear instructions for my aligners and treatment, anytime I had any questions I asked through the app and received responses very quickly :)."

Imane, another happy patient

This is exactly the concept we've worked to deliver to every patient since world-renowned orthodontist and founder Dr Khaled Kasem stepped into the position of Chief Orthodontic Officer.

After securing additional funding for continued expansion across Europe in 2024, Dr. Kasem said, “With this financing, Impress has strengthened its position as Europe’s No. 1 orthodontic chain with a primary focus on digitalisation.”

Dental technology

Our hybrid treatment model means patients can upload their progress and get support with any questions or concerns during their treatment directly on the app. That's all after the incredible 3d technology is used to get the personalised print of your teeth - the very first step in shaping your smile.

Who owns Impress Orthodontics?

The company was founded by serial entrepreneur Diliara and Vladimir Lupenko and Dr. Khaled Kasem. Impress operates across key UK and European markets, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Sweden.

This integration supports Impress’s aim to become one of Europe’s largest health tech companies. With 110 clinics in 10 countries, we’re well on our way to being the orthodontic pioneers of choice for patients seeking clear aligner treatment.

Do invisible braces actually work?

There is now overwhelming evidence that invisible aligners can correct orthodontic issues in as little as six months. The particularly important aspects of the treatment to ensure the most positive transformations are: 3d planning to accurately plan the treatment for each patient, patient compliance and wearing the aligners as directed, and finally, follow-up care and retainers once the aligner treatment is complete.
