Smile Doctors Orthodontics

Smile Doctors Orthodontics is a prominent and rapidly expanding orthodontic service organization (OSO) in the United States. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Scott Law, Dr. Dana Fender, and Dr. Greg Goggans, the company operates on a "people-first culture," focusing on delivering high-quality orthodontic care and fostering positive experiences for patients and staff. As the largest ortho-focused dental support organization in the U.S., Smile Doctors boasts over 550 convenient locations across 36 states, with a continually growing network of affiliated practices. Their core mission is to create confident smiles that inspire individuals and positively impact communities. They achieve this by providing a comprehensive suite of orthodontic treatments for children, teenagers, and adults. These services include various braces options (traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and Damon Braces), clear aligner treatments like Invisalign® (including Diamond Plus Provider status, indicating a high volume of successful Invisalign cases), and Smile Express® for at-home adult aligner treatment. They also offer retainers and a "Rising Star" program, recommending children see an orthodontist by age 7 for early evaluation and intervention. Smile Doctors Orthodontics differentiates itself by allowing affiliated orthodontists to focus primarily on patient care, while the organization provides robust operational, financial, and technological support. This includes access to cutting-edge technology, business support, continuing education on the latest treatment modalities, and marketing assistance. They emphasize customized treatment plans, free consultations (though diagnostic records fees may apply), and flexible payment options to make orthodontic care accessible and affordable. Additionally, they leverage technology like the "Smile Doctors Anywhere" app for remote care visits, direct messaging with orthodontists, appointment scheduling, and payment management, enhancing patient convenience. The Upper Arlington location in Columbus, Ohio, exemplifies their commitment to serving local communities with state-of-the-art equipment and experienced orthodontists like Dr. Chuck Reed, who is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
