Our model, deeply rooted in clinical excellence and proprietary R&D, has proven resilient and highly scalable. This investment empowers us to build on our leadership in Europe and drive forward our vision of innovative, patient-centred orthodontic care.” 🌍 The acquisition of DrSmile has already expanded our operations in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Sweden. We plan to expand across Europe with new clinic openings (over 20 flagship clinics by 2025) to bolster our capacity to provide high-quality orthodontic care to a broader patient base.
