Hello! ^__^

#Songpa Invisalign Diamond Tier

The only solo dental clinic in Songpa-gu!!!!!

#Jamsil Invisalign Diamond Tier Dental Clinic

This is UPenn Barun Dental Clinic.

♥ We sincerely thank you for the love and support you have shown UPenn Barun Dental Clinic throughout 2024 ♥

As we worked hard through the year, our dental clinic was thankfully able to achieve Invisalign Diamond Tier status in 2024!!!

What makes this Diamond Tier status even more meaningful is that it was not awarded by combining cases from multiple branches of a large network dental group, or by combining cases from multiple doctors.

It means this was a Diamond Tier status earned solely from the cases of Dr. Seungwoo Kim.

We are told that in Songpa-gu, among solo dental clinics, our UPenn Barun Dental Clinic is the only one to have received Diamond Tier status.

Once again, we deeply thank our patients who trust us and visit our clinic :)

Last weekend,

On Sunday, January 19, 2025,

there was an invitation event for Invisalign Day 2025 ^^

This year’s Invisalign Day was held at the Grand Ballroom on the 5th floor of the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas, the same venue where the Invisalign Korea Faculty & Speaker Meeting was held last June.

Invisalign Day is Invisalign Korea’s largest annual event, with about 500 attendees from across the country, including dentists and staff members ^^

To commemorate Invisalign Day, two speakers from Korea and China gave lectures, which gave us a meaningful and grateful opportunity to look at their accumulated experience and know-how :)

Invisalign Korea Speakers

At this Invisalign Day event, there was a special moment of appreciation for Invisalign speakers, including Dr. Seungwoo Kim of UPenn Barun Dental Clinic, who has continued to grow along with Invisalign’s remarkable technological advancements.

Dr. Seungwoo Kim, who is more active than anyone else in Invisalign orthodontic treatment, is serving as an official Invisalign speaker at the official request of Invisalign Korea ^^

What are the qualifications to be an Invisalign speaker? Currently, Invisalign assigns tiers based on the number of clinical cases.

According to Invisalign Korea, those who achieve Platinum Elite tier or higher may be given the opportunity to be recommended as speakers at domestic and international educational events, and among them, Invisalign Korea directly selects the speakers. (UPenn Barun Dental Clinic is Diamond Tier, one level above Platinum Elite.)

Invisalign Korea speakers, who have earned recognition for their clinical cases through excellent Invisalign treatments and are active through various academic society activities and lectures, play the role of deeply “lecturing” and “teaching” domestic and international dentists and orthodontic specialists about Invisalign orthodontic treatment.

And then,

the long-awaited Invisalign Diamond Tier award ceremony took place.

UPenn Barun Dental Clinic was called up, and Dr. Seungwoo Kim received a plaque celebrating the achievement of Invisalign Diamond status in 2024!!!

Following Platinum Elite status in 2023, UPenn Barun Dental Clinic achieved Diamond Tier status in 2024!!

Invisalign’s tiers are a trustworthy indicator, as they reflect recognition for a wide range of cases and clinical skill.

A “high Invisalign tier” means that the clinic has treated many patients with Invisalign appliances and has experience with a broad range of cases.

However, a clinic having a high tier does not necessarily mean that all of its doctors have extensive experience.

For example, network dental clinics that operate 10 clinics in Korea combine the cases from all 10 clinics’ doctors,

whereas our UPenn Barun Dental Clinic achieved Diamond Tier status by combining only the cases of Dr. Seungwoo Kim, which makes it even more trustworthy, right??

As a solo dental clinic in Songpa-gu, for Diamond Tier achievement, our Dr. Seungwoo Kim at UPenn Barun Dental Clinic is the only one

---

Did you notice the reason you should start Invisalign at UPenn Barun Dental Clinic?? Not a large network “factory-style dental clinic,” UPenn Barun Dental Clinic is handled entirely by Dr. Seungwoo Kim, an ABO-certified American orthodontic specialist, for all orthodontic treatment, so you can trust UPenn Barun Dental Clinic’s Invisalign Diamond Tier status ♥

With the Diamond Tier status as the backdrop, a congratulatory bouquet photo! Haha

Our office manager and team leader joined in with us. :)

2024 Diamond Tier

As a “dental clinic that continues to grow,” with more and more patients visiting us every year, UPenn Barun Dental Clinic will take on the responsibility that comes with achieving Invisalign Diamond Tier status, promise in-depth care for each and every patient, and, through our doctor’s treatment experience, know-how, high skill, and sense of responsibility, work hard to deliver even better results.

To celebrate Dr. Seungwoo Kim, who had an especially busy year in 2024, the staff held a surprise party with a cake they had prepared secretly ><

A beautiful cake like a diamond ❤️ Congratulations, Doctor haha

The efforts of Dr. Kim, who worked with Invisalign ClinCheck for patients during lunch breaks, weekday evenings, and weekends without rest, shine in this moment of recognition ^^

2025 Invisalign Korea official model, athlete Kim Ye-ji

This year, in 2025, Kim Ye-ji, the charismatic South Korean national shooting team athlete who is attracting attention worldwide, was selected as the main Invisalign model!

As even a national team athlete has chosen Invisalign, the future of high-end digital orthodontic treatment, Invisalign, looks even more promising ^^

UPenn Barun Dental Clinic has no chance of the doctor changing in the middle of orthodontic treatment, and you can experience one-on-one orthodontic care.

Dr. Seungwoo Kim is an ABO-certified orthodontist (Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, ABO), which is recognized worldwide in orthodontics.

ABO has only 13 members in Korea (as of February 2022), and you can experience that treatment at UPenn Barun Dental Clinic.

In 2024, we received so much attention and love from our patients, and in 2025 as well, UPenn Barun Dental Clinic will remain true to our初心? No

UPenn Barun Dental Clinic will stay true to its original commitment throughout this year as well. Thank you for reading this long post. Happy New Year 💕
