Ordont Orthodontic Appliance Laboratories

Ordont Orthodontic Appliance Laboratories, founded in 1949, is a prominent and long-standing orthodontic laboratory based in Fenton, Missouri. With over 75 years of experience, Ordont has built a reputation as a trusted manufacturer of custom Orthodontic appliances for dental professionals across the United States. Their comprehensive product line is designed to meet diverse patient needs and includes invisible trays (aligners), removable and fixed dental appliances of all kinds, such as retainers, expanders, habit-breaking appliances, and Class II correctors. Ordont is known for its commitment to quality, precision, and timely delivery. They emphasize rigorous processes, are ISO-certified, and FDA-compliant, ensuring that their appliances meet high safety and efficacy standards. The company prides itself on a low remake rate and a 7-day turnaround time, leveraging cutting-edge technology, including 3D printing and laser welding, to produce custom devices. In July 2024, Ordont Orthodontic Appliance Laboratories was acquired by Specialty Appliances, a portfolio company of Reynolda Equity Partners. This partnership has allowed Ordont to expand its offerings and provide access to additional appliances, products, and educational opportunities while maintaining its dedication to serving the dental profession. Paul Ruzicka CDT, whose father Leonard Ruzicka started Ordont, continues to manage the lab, ensuring the continuation of its legacy of excellence. Ordont's services are exclusively business-to-business, catering to orthodontists and general dentists who require custom solutions for their patients. They provide not only the physical appliances but also case consultation and support, aiming to be a reliable partner in delivering high-quality, professional dental care and positive patient outcomes.
