The Invisalign Diamond Provider category is the highest recognition granted by Align Technology to orthodontists worldwide. It is only awarded to those who exceed 150 successfully completed cases in the last 12 months continuously. It is not a title obtained once: it must be renewed every year.
Choosing an orthodontist for Invisalign without objective criteria is a real risk. Most clinics present themselves as “specialists in invisible orthodontics” without any verifiable data to support that claim. The Diamond certification level is the only external indicator that Invisalign publishes and that any patient can check before making a decision.
At Asensio Dental Clinic we have Dr. José Luis Lanuza (Registration No. 46002399), certified in the Invisalign system since 2002 and a Diamond Provider since 2016. His official profile on invisalign.es has accumulated more than 1,000 completed cases, a volume reached by only a handful of orthodontists in the entire country. On this page you will find what exactly this certification means, why it matters to the patient, and how to verify it.
What it means to be an Invisalign Diamond Provider
Align Technology, the company that manufactures Invisalign, establishes a system of certification levels based exclusively on the number of cases successfully completed by each orthodontist in the last 12 months. The levels range from Silver to Diamond, with Diamond being the highest achievable in the standard category. To obtain and maintain it, it is necessary to complete more than 150 annual cases continuously.
This means that a Diamond provider has not only treated many patients with Invisalign—it means they continue to do so at a high and constant rate. The certification expires if the volume of cases drops, so maintaining it for consecutive years is an active guarantee, not just a past record.
For the patient, this translates into several concrete advantages. The first is experience in complex cases: with more than 1,000 treatments performed, Dr. Lanuza has addressed practically all variants of malocclusion treatable with aligners, including cases that in other clinics are referred to braces for being considered beyond the reach of Invisalign. The second is access to priority training and technology: Diamond providers receive direct training from Align Technology before others and early access to updates for the ClinCheck planning software. The third is the predictability of the result: accumulated experience allows for a more accurate estimation of the number of aligners needed, the actual duration of the treatment, and the final result before starting, which translates into fewer surprises and fewer corrections during the process.
The certification is public and verifiable. Any patient can consult Dr. Lanuza’s profile directly on invisalign.es and check his certification level, the number of completed cases, and years of experience with the system before requesting an appointment.
Dr. Lanuza: Certified in Invisalign since 2002
Dr. José Luis Lanuza obtained his Invisalign certification in 2002, during the early years of the system’s implementation in Spain. He has therefore been working with clear aligners for over two decades, a period in which he has seen the technology evolve from its most basic versions to the current digital system with 3D planning and remote monitoring.
He reached the Diamond category in 2016 and has maintained it uninterruptedly since then, exceeding the threshold of 150 annual cases for more than eight consecutive years. The case counter on his official Invisalign profile exceeds 1,000 completed treatments, placing him among the orthodontists with the highest volume of experience in invisible orthodontics in the Valencian Community.
His training in orthodontics also includes a Master’s in Orthodontics from COB Orthodontics, a Diploma in Lingual Orthodontics from Dr. Vittorio Cacciafesta, and an Advanced Surgery Course at the University of Cienfuegos. He has been the Medical Director of Asensio Dental Clinic for 25 years and has published scientific research on orofacial pain. All these details are included in his full profile.
A certification backed by the press
In May 2016, Asensio Dental Clinic celebrated achieving the Diamond category with an event at Marina Beach Club that brought together more than two hundred people. The news had wide media impact in Valencia, with coverage in El Mundo, Las Provincias, Levante, You Valencia, Living In, and Blog de Protocolo. You can consult all the collected articles in this press article.
The media coverage was not an isolated event. The clinic has appeared on several occasions in reference media such as Telva magazine and Las Provincias newspaper talking about invisible orthodontics and dental aesthetics treatments. This continuous presence in media is an additional sign of the clinic’s relevance and track record in the Valencian dental sector.
Since that 2016 celebration, Asensio Dental Clinic has renewed the Diamond category every year without interruption, consolidating its position as one of the reference centers for invisible orthodontics in Valencia and throughout the region.
Invisalign Diamond Provider in Valencia: How to verify it
The official Invisalign directory in Spain allows you to search for providers by location and filter by certification level. If you enter “Valencia” in the search bar of invisalign.es and filter by Diamond level, Dr. Lanuza appears among the results with his full profile, case counter, and the clinic’s contact details.
This independent verification process is important because the invisible orthodontics market in Spain has grown very rapidly in recent years, and with it, the number of clinics offering Invisalign without the experience or certification necessary to guarantee results in complex cases. The difference between a Silver provider with 20 cases and a Diamond provider with more than 1,000 is not just volume: it is real clinical capacity to resolve difficult situations without referring the patient to a more invasive treatment.
If you are considering Invisalign treatment in Valencia, checking the specialist’s certification level in the official directory is the first step before requesting any quote. Asensio Dental Clinic offers a free first consultation with examination, digital X-ray, and a personalized treatment plan without commitment.
