The only platform built around ownership transparency
Your practice deserves to be found on its own merits.
OrthodontistNearMe gives every orthodontic practice a presence and gives patients the transparency they are looking for. Whether you are independently owned or part of a larger group, your listing helps patients make informed, confident decisions.
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.
Listing plans
Start free. Upgrade when you’re ready.
Every practice gets a free listing with ownership transparency built in. Upgrade any time to add patient-facing features that drive bookings.
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:
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 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.
