Smile Doctors Adds Practices, Boosts National Footprint

---

Smile Doctors, the leading orthodontic support organization (OSO) in the United States, proudly announces the addition of two new affiliated practices and two joint venture expansion acquisitions. These practices extend the footprint of the Smile Doctors network to more than 560 affiliated practices across 36 states, driving greater provider density in key markets and underscoring the organization’s commitment to supporting leading doctors in continued growth.

In Q3, Smile Doctors boosted its presence in Connecticut with the addition of Daniels Orthodontics and Team Demas Orthodontics.

Dr. David Daniels, a former pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, and St. Louis Cardinals, is no stranger to the team mentality. He shared his excitement about joining Smile Doctors, saying, “Patient experience begins and ends with how strong your team is. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built here and thrilled at the opportunity to work alongside the industry’s most decorated orthodontists. We’re looking forward to sharing technology, resources, and experience with the Smile Doctors network of providers and know that the ultimate beneficiary will be our patients.”

In addition to brand-new partnerships, Smile Doctors also announced two expansion acquisitions in partnership with affiliated doctors:

• True Smile Orthodontics (Texas) — Led by Dr. Josh Adcox and Dr. Victoria Diggs of Smile Doctors Harker Heights and Copperas Cove
• Pendleton Orthodontics (Texas) — Led by Dr. Ryan Pendleton, whom Smile Doctors welcomes to its network of orthodontists, and Dr. Chris Stansbury of Wired Orthodontics

Michael Kruspe, Smile Doctors Chief Development Officer, says the joint-venture expansion practices are proof of the success Smile Doctors is experiencing in redefining flexible growth for orthodontists.

“Beyond our standard affiliation opportunities, acquiring existing practices as expansion acquisitions is another growth avenue for our affiliated doctors who are driving exceptional outcomes in their clinics and are looking to extend their practice footprint,” Kruspe said. “We want to provide a variety of paths for our talented affiliated orthodontists to continue growing, clinically and financially.”
