DrSmile
DrSmile was a Berlin-founded (2016) hybrid teledentistry aligner brand, once majority-owned by Straumann, that became part of the Barcelona-based Impress Group after an August 2024 acquisition. Patients started with a free in-clinic 3D scan at a German partner practice, then wore aligners at home with remote app monitoring. The brand has since closed and its clinics are now run by Impress. Kept for market context. Sources

DrSmile has closed. Its German site now says "DR SMILE hat geschlossen. Alle Kliniken werden jetzt von Impress betrieben" (DR SMILE has closed; all clinics are now run by Impress), drsmile.de redirects to Impress, and its Austrian site says it has ceased operations in that market. New patients at the former clinics are treated by Impress, which uses Invisalign aligners, so DrSmile's own aligners are no longer available.

How treatment is supervised
Remote care day to day, with a clinic scan or check-up available when you want one. Suits: at-home convenience with a clinician you can see in person.
DrSmile: Partner-network dentists and orthodontists perform the initial exam and scan; ongoing care is remote via the DrSmile app (patients submit tooth photos to certified experts) plus a personal advisor, with in-person visits only if an issue cannot be resolved in the app Sources
Brand specs
Clear aligners are FDA Class II devices (product code NXC, 21 CFR 872.5470), cleared through the 510(k) process. DrSmile treatment is hybrid (remote care with an in-person clinic option).

Clinical evidence & professional guidance
No registered study names DrSmile
Independent clinical evidence on individual aligner brands is limited, and both the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists advise an in-person exam and dentist or orthodontist supervision before treatment. The clear aligner studies we index cover the category as a whole (134 registered on ClinicalTrials.gov).
