Who This Opportunity Is and Is Not Right For
We’re a great fit for an orthodontist who:

Is enthusiastic about aligner therapy and confident in using Invisalign® to achieve excellent outcomes

Ultimately want to start your own practice or become a solo owner

Are looking for complete autonomy without alignment with established protocols
