Built exclusively for Chicago area orthodontic practices

Chicago has a million smiles worth straightening.
Loop professionals, North Shore families, new homeowners in Naperville. Let's book them.

Loop and River North professionals finally want adult Invisalign, North Shore parents in Winnetka and Wilmette are lining up teen starts, and families closing on homes in Naperville and Oak Park have no orthodontist yet, while DSO chains and general dentists quietly pull those cases away. We build the paid ad engine that fills your schedule with real case starts, even through a slow Chicago winter. Not free scan shoppers. Booked Invisalign and braces starts.

What a full case start schedule is worth in Chicago.

Drag the sliders. Based on real Midwest orthodontic campaigns, we will show you what a steady flow of Invisalign and braces starts does to your bottom line across the Chicagoland metro.

A comprehensive braces or Invisalign case around Chicago often runs $5.5k to $7k, and a cash adult clear aligner case downtown or on the North Shore can sit higher. We will calibrate this to your case mix and financing on the call.

How it works

A Chicago orthodontic growth system, not another "boost a post" vendor.

Most agencies run one generic braces ad and hand you a spreadsheet of clicks. We built a system that does one thing: feed your treatment coordinator with Chicagoland patients who actually start treatment, across adult Invisalign, teen braces and the winter months everyone else lets go quiet.

01

Win the downtown adult Invisalign case

The Loop, River North, West Loop, Lincoln Park and Lakeview are full of professionals who will pay cash for clear aligners. We run a dedicated adult lane that beats the general dentist and the mail order kit on one thing: a specialist who does it right.

02

Own the North Shore and collar county families

Winnetka, Wilmette, Glenview, Naperville, Hinsdale and Oak Park parents plan teen starts around school and sports. We reach them with named, reviewed practices, not a faceless chain promising the lowest monthly payment.

03

Keep the schedule full through winter

When it is fifteen below, the walk in offices go quiet and rely on spring. We lean into New Year smile resolutions, tax refund financing and summer teen planning so your January through March stays booked.

04

Book starts, not free scan shoppers

We qualify on intent and financing comfort before the exam, so your coordinator meets families ready to start, not people collecting free scans across every office from Wicker Park to Skokie.

Why this is different

A Chicago partner, not another agency that ghosts you by February.

You have probably been burned by a vendor that promised the moon in October and went silent once the snow hit. Here is what makes this the opposite of that.

✕

No annual handcuffs

Month to month, always. When a Lakeview office keeps us, it is because their winter chairs are full of Invisalign scans, not because a legal contract says they have to.

✕

Nothing due to launch

No onboarding invoice, no build fee. Every dollar you put in goes toward reaching a River North attorney or a Glenview parent, not our setup checklist.

✕

We filter out the tire kickers

The people who collect free scans from Wicker Park to Skokie and never commit are exactly who we screen out before they hit your coordinator's calendar.

✓

We plan around the Chicago calendar

New Year resolutions, spring tax refunds for financed cases, then the June rush of teen starts before school. We spend into each window instead of running one flat ad all year.

✓

We know who you are up against

The value chains off the expressways and the corner dentist selling aligners on the side. We write to beat both on specialist trust, never by cutting your case fee.

✓

Live before the next snowfall

From signature to your first campaign serving across Cook and DuPage in under 14 days. No three month discovery, no excuses.

What to expect

The Chicago orthodontic numbers, unfiltered.

At $2,500/month here's what a typical case start funnel looks like across the Chicagoland metro, based on real campaigns we've run.

Clicks
Patients landing on your offer page
$4 to $8 CPC
Leads
Adults and parents asking about Invisalign and braces
$35 to $65 CPL
Consults booked
New patient exams locked in across the metro
$70 to $140 CPA
Show ups
Showed up ready to talk treatment
62% to 80% show rate
Case starts
Records taken, contract signed, treatment begun
$260 to $490 per start
Chicago clicks cost more than a small market, so we protect the spend by front loading budget into the neighborhoods and seasons that actually convert. Where you land depends on your case fee, your downtown versus suburban mix, and how your coordinator handles a North Shore parent comparing three offices. On the call, we'll map this to your practice.
Real practices. Real results.

Practices like yours are already seeing it work.

"Winter used to be dead for us. Now January is one of our best months for adult Invisalign, mostly Loop and Lincoln Park professionals, plus North Shore families booking teen starts for summer. The consults show up ready to sign."
