Remote medicine, including diagnostics, is becoming the reality of the day, especially in the pandemic-ridden world where people are often denied the opportunity to visit doctors in person. Diamond Whites, a U.K. company, has come up with a remote solution to teeth alignment.
Having started as the provider of teeth-whitening in 2012, Diamond Whites embraced the new technology of invisible teeth aligners in 2020. The invisibles have since almost entirely replaced braces, making the alignment treatment more aesthetically appealing. They went even further, putting AI into the service of orthodontics. What Diamond Whites brings to the table is the possibility of remote treatment—something totally unheard of yet five years ago. This innovative treatment has become possible thanks to ScanBox AI-powered technology that lies at its core and controls each patient’s progress. The alignment is thus almost 100 percent remote, with clinical presence only when required. The first step is for the patient to get an impression kit by mail, complete with instructions on how to properly make impressions at home. The impressions are then forwarded to the company to get a set of aligners from it later. Customers also can visit one of Diamond Whites’ 30 scan centers in Great Britain, where the qualified dental staff will take digital impressions. A 3D visual showing what the aligned teeth will look like complements the process. If the remote procedure turns out to be too challenging for the patient to perform at home Diamond Whites offers full support from qualified dental staff at a clinic in the London area. The teeth alignment procedure takes on average three to six months compared with a year to two years for metal braces and is up to 70% more affordable than traditional brands.
In 2020, the company merged with celebrity dentist Dr. Richard Marques who brings a long list of celebrity clientele that includes Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Love Island Star Olivia Buckland, Joey Essex, Tom Daley, and many more. “With our combined knowledge and expertise, we have established Diamond Whites Aligners as a market leader for at-home teeth alignment,” said Reed and Dr. Marques. “The company’s success in such a short period of time is indicative of the fundamentally different solution it is providing to customers, and we are pleased to have gained the support of Moscar Capital L.P. to back the business through its next stage of growth.”
Partners’ mutual efforts led to the company’s recognition by the investment community as Diamond Whites raised £550,000 in Pre-Series A funding from Moscar Capital L.P. The funding has put the company’s value at over £6.8 million and will fuel its future growth.
As the brand reinforced by its investors continues to expand, it plans to increase its presence in continental Europe over the next year. To learn more about the company and its plans, visit their [website](http://www.dwaligners.co.uk/).
