The Blue Diamond Provider title is given to only a select number of Invisalign doctors worldwide. For the 2026-2027 period, there are 120 doctors holding this title globally and 32 in Turkey.

Blue Diamond Provider nedir?
Align Technology, Invisalign uygulayan hekimleri yıllık vaka sayısına ve tedavi başarısına ranks doctors by these levels. Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Blue Diamond These levels progress upward, and reaching the top tier is not easy; it requires a specific treatment hacminin sürdürülmesi ve klinik sonuçların standartları karşılaması gerekir.
Blue Diamond is the peak of the provider level system. A doctor reaching this level is automatically included in the APEX program, which represents the top 1% of all Invisalign providers worldwide.
Blue Diamond ile APEX ilişkisi
Blue Diamond and APEX are two separate awards but connected: Blue Diamond level is also 100% included in the APEX top 1% tier. Some Diamond level bazı hekimler de yüksek performanslarıyla APEX'e girebilir; ancak yalnızca Blue Diamond doctors may also be included in APEX, but only Blue Diamond doctors sit at the peak of the provider level system.
How was this level reached?
The Blue Diamond title is not earned overnight. Align Technology monitors specific case volume, treatment completion within standard times, patient satisfaction, and digital protocol compliance monitors these regularly. This process, requiring hundreds of successfully completed clear aligner cases per year, involves continuous evaluation of the doctor by the manufacturer.
