"BUILDING A BETTER PRACTICE IS GREAT, BUT DEVELOPING DEEP, LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEERS CAN BE EVEN MORE MEANINGFUL"
Graduate programs train orthodontists to be great technicians but don’t do much in the way of teaching real-world business and entrepreneurial skills. Every year, approximately 350 orthodontists graduate from residency programs, many with significant debt, and few with a true understanding of what they are about to face in the workplace.OrthopreneursRD was designed to be a group where orthodontists (regardless of experience, background or treatment philosophy) can join together and work through many of the issues that create the greatest stress in their practice lives. The “RD” stands for “regional dominance” because every practice is awarded an exclusivity to grow in the group without competing doctors in their area.

Welcome to Your Tribe
There are lots of ways to make your practice better. You can read books, hire consultants, go to business programs, or just find out the hard way through trial and error. But let’s be honest; you signed up to be an orthodontist and with things like overhead, staffing, marketing and financial management, nobody told you how hard it would be to be a business owner.
The good news is that you’re not alone. Many of your peers feel the same way, which is why our tribe mentality is so effective.  Everyone works together to avoid the common pitfalls of business ownership and increase our market share, all while developing better clinical skills and deep, lasting friendships. You’ll be in great company because the orthodontists in this group are great people and run great practices.
