Welcome to The Golden Age of Orthodontics, hosted by Dr. Leon Klempner and Amy Epstein. As GP referral models shift and corporate dental groups expand, more pediatric dentists and orthodontists are joining forces to stay competitive. But is this model right for everyone? Today, we’re joined by Dr. Chris Teeters, an orthodontist who collaborates with his wife, Dr. Morgan Teeters, a pediatric dentist. They’ll share the benefits and challenges of integrating their specialties while maintaining separate brands. We’ll also discuss marketing strategies, referral dynamics, and the balance of business and marriage. Plus, we’ll highlight the importance of in-person connections through events like the Mother of Pearl Conference. Register now for the early bird discount. Remember, there has never been a better time to be an orthodontist!

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • (04:52) Blending an orthodontic and a pediatric practice and working with your spouse
  • (08:57) The advantages and disadvantages of two practices in the same building
  • (13:33) Discussion on referrals between their practices and marketing
  • (17:39) Dr. Teeters shares advice on engaging in a combined orthodontic and pediatric practice concept
  • (19:27) Discussion of the Mother of Pearl Conference and the Orthodontic Pearls podcast

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Dr. Chris Teeters and his wife, Dr. Morgan Teeters, have successfully integrated orthodontics and pediatric dentistry under one roof while maintaining separate brands. This model fosters referrals between the two specialties and ensures continuity of care for young patients transitioning from pediatric dentistry to orthodontics.
  • Their desire to serve both children and adults drove them to keep their practices separate. The pediatric practice has a superhero-themed child-centered environment, while the orthodontic office has a spa-like aesthetic, making it more appealing to adult patients.
  • While online podcasts like Orthodontic Pearls provide valuable clinical insights, live conferences—such as the Mother of Pearl Conference—offer a unique opportunity for orthodontists to network, learn from top speakers, earn CE credits, and build lasting relationships.
