Orthodontic Practice Consulting

Your practice runs on instinct.
What if it ran on data?

I help orthodontic practices move from "we're too busy" to a clear, data-backed growth plan. Schedule optimization, capacity modeling, and feasibility analysis built by someone who has worked inside the practice.

Who I Am
A Anita, Practice Operations Specialist

From inside the practice to advising it.

I built the tools on this site while working at Wall Orthodontics, where I saw firsthand how orthodontic practices make growth decisions - often with spreadsheets, gut feel, and a prayer.

Over years of managing scheduling, tracking new patient flow, and watching the gap between what the schedule said and what actually happened, I learned that most practices have the data they need. They just don't have a way to turn it into a plan.

That's what I build: the bridge between your production numbers and a realistic, actionable growth strategy. I understand appointment mix, provider capacity, deband timing, and the messy reality of orthodontic operations because I've lived it. Now I help other practices turn their own data into clarity.

The Tools

Built from real practice data. Used to model real outcomes.

These are not generic templates. Both tools were built from actual appointment volume data (~1,108 patient appointments per month) and refined against real schedule constraints.

Schedule Template Builder

A drag-and-drop schedule construction tool that lets you build a full-week orthodontic template. No more guessing whether the doctor has enough chair time.

  • Drag-and-drop appointment block placement
  • Real-time doctor-time tracking across the week
  • Lunch block and deband chair staggering
  • Collision detection for provider conflicts
  • Export completed template as JSON

Growth & Feasibility Tool

Load a schedule template and model a 2-year growth outlook. Adjust the levers that actually matter and see where your capacity breaks before it does.

  • 2-year growth scenario modeling
  • Adjustable new starts volume and aligner mix
  • KLOwen adoption and Dental Monitoring enrollment levers
  • Provider staffing scenarios with capacity by role
  • Deband provider-hours gap analysis
  • Appointment-level delivery gap identification

What I can do for your practice.

Growth Feasibility Assessment

A complete 2-year feasibility model built on your practice's actual numbers - not industry averages. You'll see exactly where your schedule, staffing, and patient flow can (and can't) support growth.

Schedule Optimization

Your schedule template is the single most important operational document in the practice. I rebuild it using real appointment volume data to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize doctor time utilization.

Capacity & Staffing Analysis

Most practices add staff reactively. I model capacity by role - doctor hours, assistant chair time, deband chair throughput - so you hire for the practice you're building, not the one you have.

New Patient Funnel Modeling

Map your conversion funnel from leads to starts. Model the downstream capacity impact of changing your conversion rate, start volume, or case mix so marketing investment meets operational reality.

Aligner Mix Strategy

Aligner cases and bracket cases demand different appointment footprints and chair time. I model the mix shift so you don't accidentally overbook your schedule by chasing higher-margin cases.

Technology Adoption Planning

Evaluating KLOwen, Dental Monitoring, or other tech? I build adoption scenarios into the feasibility model so you can see the capacity and staffing implications before you commit.

How It Works

A straightforward engagement, start to finish.

Discovery Call

We talk about your practice - where you are, where you want to be, and what data you have available.

Data Review

I review your practice management reports, schedule templates, and production data to build the baseline model.

Modeling & Analysis

I run the numbers through the feasibility model and schedule builder, testing multiple scenarios against your actual constraints.

Deliverable & Roadmap

You receive a clear, actionable report with the model outputs, a staffing roadmap, and a schedule template you can use tomorrow.

Get in Touch

Let's talk about your practice.

Whether you're considering expansion, struggling with schedule overload, or just curious what your numbers would say if someone modeled them properly - reach out.

Every engagement starts with a no-obligation discovery call. Bring your questions. I'll bring the framework.
