Marketing for Orthodontists
More starts. Not more consults that go nowhere.
Ortho marketing is judged on case starts and contract value — not how many free consultations you fit into a Saturday. We rebuild the funnel around qualified, financing-ready patients who walk in ready to start.

The Diagnostic
Why ortho consult-to-start rates are quietly bleeding revenue
- 01
60–70% of free consultations never convert to a contract
- 02
Aligner companies (SmileDirect, Byte) have shifted patient price expectations
- 03
Adult ortho leads need a different funnel than teen/Phase 1 — most agencies run one campaign for both
The Build
What we build for orthodontic practices
Adult ortho funnel (separate from teen)
Adults make decisions differently. Separate campaigns, creative, landing pages, and finance messaging for the 30+ aligner-curious segment.
Pre-consult financing + aligner positioning
Patients see monthly payment options before booking — eliminates 'I had no idea it cost that much' drop-off. Stops competing with SmileDirect on price; repositions around outcomes, supervised care, and refinements no DTC brand can match.
GP referral nurture + case start tracking
Automated touchpoint cadence keeps your name top of mind with referring general practices. Reporting follows the lead from click to consultation to signed contract — with monthly forecast vs actual.

Reference Case
Periodontal & Implant Surgeons of Houston
Houston, TX · Oct 2025 → Mar 2026 · 5 months
Periodontal & Implant Surgeons of Houston (dentalimplantsathouston.com) is a high-end specialist implant and periodontal practice. When the campaign started in October 2025, domain authority was 8, the site ranked for only 85 keywords, and organic traffic sat at 362 visits/month. Google Ads were running but cost per conversion was $110 and the conversion rate was stuck at 2.9%. There was no analytics setup, no AI search visibility, and no consistent organic content engine for high-intent implant queries.

Honest answers before you book.
Can you actually compete with SmileDirect/Byte/Candid?
We don't compete on price — we reposition. Supervised aligner care with a real orthodontist is a different product. We build the campaigns and creative that surface that difference clearly.
What about Phase 1 / pediatric ortho?
Separate campaign track. Phase 1 marketing leans heavily on parent education and pediatric dentist referrals — both built into the system.
Do you handle Invisalign-only practices differently?
Yes. Invisalign-only practices run leaner and need tighter financing-ready funnels. We adjust the entire system around case acceptance economics.
