Overview
Zenyum delivers dental care products directly to customers in Asia, offering invisible braces, electric toothbrushes, and dental hygiene accessories. Its model combines at-home care with personalized services like a free online smile assessment, and it sells through zenyum.com without traditional retailers. The invisible braces work by gradually aligning teeth, while electric toothbrushes and accessories support ongoing oral hygiene. Differences from competitors include a direct-to-consumer approach that cuts out middlemen to offer lower prices, bundled product options, and a referral rewards program that encourages word-of-mouth growth. The company aims to make dental care affordable and convenient while expanding access to orthodontic solutions and oral health products in Asia.
