Dr. José Luis Lanuza Guillem is the orthodontic specialist and co-director at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia. He holds a degree in Dentistry from the University of Valencia and a Master’s in Orthodontics from COB Orthodontics, and is registered with the College of Dentists and Stomatologists of Valencia under number 46002399. With 26 years of clinical experience and Invisalign Diamond Provider certification — the highest technical level awarded by Align Technology — he leads all orthodontic treatment at the clinic, including invisible braces, lingual orthodontics and complex bite correction cases for patients travelling from the UK.
Dr. Lanuza treats a significant number of UK patients seeking Invisalign and orthodontic treatment abroad at substantially lower cost than equivalent treatment in Britain. He conducts consultations with English-speaking patients directly and oversees all orthodontic planning from the initial digital scan through to final retention. His clinical focus includes complex adult orthodontics, cases requiring combined orthodontic and prosthetic planning, and patients who have previously had unsuccessful treatment elsewhere.
Dr. Lanuza is an active member of the Spanish Society of Orthodontics (SEDO) and has published scientific research on orofacial pain management. He was awarded Second Prize in the Francisco Gascón Scholarship for Best Academic Record during his undergraduate studies.

Experience treating UK patients
UK patients choose Asensio Advanced Dentistry for orthodontic treatment primarily because the cost of Invisalign and fixed braces in Spain is significantly lower than in Britain, while the clinical standard and brand of materials used — Align Technology for Invisalign, the same system used in UK practices — is identical. Dr. Lanuza’s Diamond Provider status places him in the top tier of certified Invisalign providers worldwide, a level reached only by clinicians treating a high volume of cases with consistently strong outcomes.
For UK patients, the typical treatment journey involves an initial consultation in Valencia where digital scans and a ClinCheck treatment simulation are produced, followed by remote monitoring during the main phase of treatment while the patient is back in the UK, with periodic review visits to Valencia. Dr. Lanuza’s team coordinates this process specifically for international patients to minimise the number of trips required.
