Why OrthodontistNearMe is different

Patients come here with a purpose.

Most patients searching for an orthodontist have no idea whether the office they are calling is independently owned or part of a larger group. That matters more than ever.

Corporate dental organizations and DSOs are growing rapidly, and many patients only find out who owns the practice after their first appointment. OrthodontistNearMe was built to change that.

Every listing is clearly labeled with ownership type. Every patient who lands here is actively looking for that information. Whatever your practice structure, being listed on OrthodontistNearMe means patients choose you knowing exactly who you are.

Premium listing features

Everything patients need to choose you with confidence.

Premium listings give patients a complete picture of your practice — your work, your team, your culture, and the credentials that set you apart.

Priority Placement

Your listing appears above all free listings in every city search and filtered result. When a patient searches near them, your practice is the first thing they see.

Google Reviews Display

Showcase your real patient reviews directly on your listing page. Social proof is one of the top factors patients use when choosing a provider.

Website Link

Drive patients directly to your site. Free listings have no outbound link. Your premium listing gives patients a direct path from search straight to your door.

Social Media Links

Connect your Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok profiles so patients can see your work, your team, and your culture before they book.

Free provider tools

Tools that help patients find you, free on every plan.

Every listing comes with a provider dashboard. Claim your practice, sign in, and everything below is ready to use.

Free

Google Maps rank check

See where your practice shows up in the Google Maps top 3, checked at 25 points around your office for the search patients use most. Run it again from your dashboard any day.

Free

Verified Privately Owned badge

Independent practices can verify their ownership with us and add the badge to their own website with one line of code. It shows patients who owns the practice and links back to your listing. Every other listing gets a Listed on The Orthodontist Near Me badge.

Profile strength checklist

Your dashboard shows exactly what is missing, like office hours, doctor photos and bios, office photos, or a practice description, so your profile is complete when a patient lands on it.

Every listing

A profile patients can act on

Call and directions buttons, an at-a-glance summary, and a plain-English explanation of every credential you hold, from ABO board certification to dentofacial orthopedics.

Surface what sets you apart

We highlight credentials patients can verify.

If you are ABO board certified or a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, that information appears directly on your listing. Patients can verify these credentials through the original sources.

Credentials we surface on every listing

Board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics is a voluntary credential that signals a continued commitment to the specialty beyond the standard residency. AAO membership demonstrates active engagement with the profession. We display both on your listing when applicable, with links so patients can verify directly.

Reference these directly when patients ask about your credentials:

FAQ

Common questions.

OrthodontistNearMe is designed for licensed orthodontic specialists across the United States. All practice types are welcome — privately owned, group practices, and DSO affiliated. We are built around transparency, so whatever your ownership structure, patients will know exactly who they are choosing.
Premium listings always appear at the top of search results ahead of free listings. This applies across every city page, every search, and every filter. Within premium listings, results are sorted by distance and relevance so patients always see the most appropriate options first.
The premium listing is a one-time annual payment. All sales are final and no refunds are issued. Your listing will remain active and featured for the full year from your payment date.
Free listings go live immediately after submission. Premium upgrades are activated within 24 hours of payment confirmation.
Many practices are already in OrthodontistNearMe. Search for your practice name, then claim your listing to take ownership of it. You can upgrade to a premium listing at any time.
Every listing is labeled as Privately Owned, Investor-Partnered, or Corporate Owned based on the current legal ownership of the practice. Multi-location and family-owned groups are still classified as privately owned when the owning orthodontist or doctor-led team remains directly accountable. Read more about our approach on the For Patients page.
Practices owned by the treating orthodontist can request ownership verification from the provider dashboard. Once we verify it, your listing shows Ownership verified, and your dashboard gives you a badge and one line of code for your website. It works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and most site builders. The badge is free on every plan, and every other practice can use a Listed on The Orthodontist Near Me badge.
From your dashboard, we check where your practice appears in Google Maps at 25 points around your office for a common patient search, and show how often you land in the top 3. It is free on every plan, and you can run it again every 24 hours. For a fuller report across more searches, White Glove Orthodontist offers a free visibility report.
Ownership type, ABO Certified, ABO Eligible, Dentofacial Orthopedics, and Cleft & Craniofacial Care are free on every listing. MARPE Provider and Airway-Conscious are Premium badges, along with the Featured badge that comes with priority placement. The Verified Privately Owned website badge is free for any independent practice we verify.
