With a clinical history spanning more than 120 years and five consecutive generations of dentists, the clinic stands as one of Brazil's longest-running dental practices. Under the current leadership of Dr. Eduardo Rothier, the clinic has earned international recognition as the world's foremost Invisalign practice by case volume, holding the global record for cases published in the Align Global Gallery continuously since 2017.
Why Choose Clínica Rothier
No dental clinic in the world has more cases featured in the Align Global Gallery than Clínica Rothier, and this distinction has been maintained every year since 2017. The clinic has been awarded the prestigious Invisalign Peer Review Award five times, recognizing its cases among the best of the year as evaluated by an international panel.
