ADDED VALUE TO YOUR PRACTICE IN TERMS OF PATIENTS AND PROFITS
THE ORTHODONTIC OPPORTUNITY
Aligning teeth requires aligning your education with your patients’ needs
By Amanda Harvey
With the global orthodontic services market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.51% from 2017 to 2021, many general practitioners (GPs) are seeing an opportunity to expand their practices and increase revenue by offering orthodontic treatment. When considering adding orthodontic services, GPs should remember that orthodontics is not simply about straightening teeth, but rather, providing the correct services for each patient in terms of cosmetics, occlusion, and function. Obtaining the proper continuing education, including hands-on clinical experience, is imperative in this pursuit, as is staying abreast of the latest techniques and available products. Adding an orthodontic component to restorative and periodontal treatment can allow GPs to offer more comprehensive care to their patients; however, proper case selection based on the skill of the GP and the complexity of the case should always guide the decision to accept or refer out to a more experienced orthodontist.
