Built exclusively for Minneapolis metro orthodontic practices

The Twin Cities keeps hiring and growing. Your consult book should too.
Edina executives, Maple Grove hockey parents, transfers who just landed for a corporate job. We turn that demand into signed starts.

A product manager in the North Loop finally wants straight teeth without brackets showing on every Teams call. A dad in Eden Prairie is pricing braces for two kids before the season starts. A family that just moved to Minnetonka for a role at UnitedHealth has zero providers picked out. Meanwhile the discount aligner shops and the dentist in the same strip mall are quietly catching every one of those searches. We build the ad engine that routes them to your chair instead. Not tire kickers chasing a free scan. Signed Invisalign and braces cases.

How it works

An engine for signed cases, not a vendor selling boosted posts.

Most agencies boost one generic braces post and send you a dashboard full of clicks. Our job is narrower: keep your treatment coordinator looking at a calendar of Twin Cities patients who sign, a cash aligner case out of Edina, a pair of siblings in braces from Maple Grove, a household that landed in the North Loop for a new role at a downtown headquarters.

Catch the corporate transfers before a chain does

The Twin Cities runs on big employers. Target, UnitedHealth, Best Buy, U.S. Bancorp, 3M and Ameriprise relocate people here all year, and those families settling into the North Loop, Minnetonka, Plymouth and Edina have no provider loyalty yet. The first office they can name usually keeps the family for the next two years. We buy that new mover moment so it is your practice they find first.

Own the professional adult aligner search

Minneapolis is full of corporate and medical professionals who want a straighter smile nobody notices on a Teams call or across a conference table downtown. The Edina attorney, the North Loop product lead, the Wayzata physician all want discreet treatment handled right. We run a separate high intent aligner campaign for them, priced and messaged like the premium adult case it is, not lumped in with kid braces.

Ride the Minnesota season, do not fight it

Demand here is not flat. Adult Invisalign climbs in the long indoor winter and around snowbird planning, family braces surges late summer and back to school, and the metro empties to the cabin in June and July. We move budget and creative along that curve so your spend lands when patients are actually ready to start, not when everyone is up north.

Send you signers, not scan collectors

Before anything hits your calendar we screen for real treatment intent and comfort with the investment. Your coordinator's day fills with parents and adults who came to start, not shoppers touring every office from Bloomington to Blaine for a free 3D scan.

Why this is different

Starting is the easy part.

Nothing hidden, nothing to sign your year away. If the Twin Cities starts do not show up, you are free to leave.

No annual contract

You are never handcuffed to twelve months. What keeps you with us is Edina and west metro cases landing on the schedule, not fine print buried in a term sheet.

Zero setup charge

There is no fee to switch the engine on. Every dollar you commit goes toward putting your office in front of Twin Cities adults and parents who are ready to start.

Qualified before the exam

We filter for real intent at the top, so your coordinator is not stuck chatting with people collecting free scans from Edina to Woodbury. The chairs on the book mean to sign.

✓

Built around the seasons here

Winter indoors, the snowbird exodus, the late summer back to school rush. We spend into those swings instead of running one flat national template all year.

✓

We read the local field

We already know how the Twin Cities DSO offices and aligner dentists pitch. We write to beat them on trust and credentials, never by cutting your case fee.

✓

Running in under two weeks

Fourteen days from signature to a live Minneapolis campaign, no endless discovery phase. The same build is already turning in markets a lot like yours.

"Most of my new starts now are adults who found us for Invisalign, plus families that had just transferred to the Twin Cities for work and had no orthodontist yet. My coordinator's consult book stays full weeks out and they show up ready to sign."

Good questions

Everything you're wondering, answered.

What is the fastest way to get more Invisalign and braces starts for a Minneapolis orthodontic practice?

Stop leaning only on dentist referrals and the school year rush and start meeting patients at the exact moment they decide. An Edina professional searching adult Invisalign between meetings, a Maple Grove parent searching braces near me after a hockey practice, a family that just transferred to the North Loop for a corporate job with no orthodontist picked out yet. We run Google search to catch those high intent moments and Meta to warm up the people still thinking it over, send them to an offer page built to book an exam, and measure everything against signed case starts, not clicks. In the Twin Cities that intent engine beats any mailer stuffed in a Lund's circular.

How much does orthodontic advertising cost in Minneapolis and what return should I expect?

We recommend a minimum of $2,500 per month in ad spend for the Minneapolis metro. The Twin Cities is a dense, insured, high income market with DSO chains and general dentists all selling aligners, so below that there is not enough room to win the searches that turn into starts. A comprehensive braces or Invisalign case around Minneapolis often runs $5,500 to $6,500, and a cash adult clear aligner case in Edina or Wayzata can sit higher, so even a handful of extra starts a month pays for the whole system many times over. We report on case starts and cost per start, nothing vaguer.

Winters are long and families leave for the lake in summer. How do you time orthodontic campaigns around the Minnesota calendar?

This is the Minnesota wrinkle most national agencies miss. Demand is not flat here. January through March people are indoors, thinking about themselves, and adult Invisalign searches climb, which is also when we lean into snowbirds who want a plan set before they head to Arizona or Florida. Late summer and back to school is the family braces surge for Maple Grove, Plymouth and Lakeville. June and July slow down as everyone is at the cabin up north. We shift budget and messaging with that curve so you are not spending peak dollars when the metro is at the lake.

General dentists and mail order aligners keep taking my adult clear aligner cases. How do I win them back?

This is the quiet bleed for Twin Cities orthodontists. Nearly every general dentist from Uptown to Minnetonka now offers clear aligners on the side, and mail order brands promise a straight smile with zero visits. We position what only a specialist gives: a board certified orthodontist who plans the whole bite, takes the cases a dentist should not touch, and fixes the relapse those mail order kits leave behind. We build a dedicated adult Invisalign lane aimed at the professionals in Edina, the North Loop, Wayzata and St. Louis Park who want it done right the first time.

Do you cover the west metro suburbs like Edina, Wayzata, Eden Prairie and Maple Grove, or only the city?

All of it, and we build the campaign around where your best cases actually come from. The city core and the near west, Edina, Wayzata, Linden Hills and the North Loop, skew toward cash adult Invisalign, while Maple Grove, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Lakeville and the north and south suburbs skew toward family braces and teen starts. We weight budget by ZIP and drive time, factoring in how 494, 394 and Highway 100 shape where a family will actually drive, so you are not paying to reach people who will never cross the metro to your chair.

Will I just get free consult shoppers who never start treatment?

That is the real fear with orthodontic ads and we built around it. We qualify on intent and financing comfort before the exam is booked, so your treatment coordinator spends time with families ready to commit, not people collecting free scans across every office from Bloomington to Blaine. The only numbers we report on are case starts and the cost to acquire one, and consults usually begin inside the first two to three weeks with signed starts building across the first 60 to 90 days.

The Twin Cities keeps hiring and growing. Your consult book should too. Edina executives, Maple Grove hockey parents, transfers who just landed for a corporate job. We turn that demand into signed starts.
