Smile Doctors Orthodontics

Smile Doctors Orthodontics is a prominent and rapidly expanding network of orthodontic practices across the United States. Established in 2015 by orthodontists Dr. Scott Law, Dr. Dana Fender, and Dr. Greg Goggans, the organization operates as the largest ortho-focused dental support organization (OSO) in the U.S. Their core philosophy is a "people-first" culture, prioritizing exceptional patient care, team member well-being, and community engagement. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Smile Doctors has grown significantly since its inception, boasting over 550 affiliated locations across 36 states. This extensive network allows them to serve a broad patient base, making quality orthodontic care accessible to a diverse population. Smile Doctors offers a comprehensive suite of orthodontic treatments tailored for kids, teens, and adults. Their services include: Traditional Metal Braces: A highly effective and commonly used method for correcting various orthodontic issues. Ceramic Braces: A more discreet alternative to metal braces, utilizing clear or tooth-colored brackets. Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A popular choice for patients seeking a nearly invisible treatment option. Smile Doctors is notably the largest network of Diamond Plus Invisalign® providers, indicating their extensive experience and expertise with this treatment. Smile Express™: An at-home aligner option designed for less complex cases, offering convenience and efficiency. Beyond treatment options, Smile Doctors emphasizes a patient-centric approach. They offer complimentary initial consultations, flexible monthly payment plans, and accept most insurance plans, making orthodontic care more affordable and less stressful for patients. They also provide discounts for military personnel and family plans. A unique aspect of their service is the "Smile Doctors Anywhere" app, which facilitates remote care, appointment scheduling, and direct communication with orthodontists, enhancing patient convenience and monitoring. The organization's mission is to "create confident smiles that inspire the best in their patients, each other, and the communities they serve." This mission extends to community involvement through initiatives like "Smiles from the Heart," a program designed to provide no-cost orthodontic treatment to individuals in need. Smile Doctors is committed to supporting its affiliated orthodontists, providing them with advanced tools, technology, and business support, allowing doctors to focus primarily on patient care. This model fosters a collaborative environment where orthodontists can share expertise and continuously develop. Their rapid growth is fueled by both strategic acquisitions of existing practices and the development of new de novo locations.
