Who This Opportunity Is and Is Not Right For
We’re a great fit for an orthodontist who:
Wants a long-term associate position without the pressure of ownership or managing a business

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

This role may not be the right fit if you:
Ultimately want to start your own practice or become a solo owner

Are looking for complete autonomy without alignment with established protocols
