Barcelona-based Impress, an orthodontic chain specialising in Invisible Aligners, announced on Wednesday that it has secured $117M (approximately €110M) in the form of both equity and debt.
The round was backed by Trinity Capital Inc, CareCapital, LBO France, and TA Ventures.
Impress plans to use this funding to broaden its footprint through 20 new clinics and potential market entries across Europe by 2025.
The company will also use the capital to make high-quality, medically-driven orthodontic care accessible across Europe.
The announcement comes a couple of months after acquiring DrSmile from Straumann Group.
Dr. Khaled Kasem, Chief Orthodontic Officer and co-founder of Impress says, “With this financing, Impress has strengthened its position as Europe’s No. 1 orthodontic chain with a primary focus on digitalisation. Our business model, deeply rooted in clinical excellence and bolstered by 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-centered orthodontic care,” adds Kasem.
