The Best and Brightest (Smiles)
Having rapid growth through top talent and leading culture.
As executive vice president and chief commercial officer at orthobrain™, I am always thinking about how to grow the brand, our offerings and our team. When I network with peers and we talk about team building and acquiring talent, we generally ask one another the same question, “what are you looking for in your team?”
After what I am seeing day in and day out at orthobrain, my answer is simple: we look for the best and brightest – both in work ethic, talent, and personality.
Things are busy. The orthobrain team wears many hats, answers hundreds of emails between back-to-back-to-back meetings, and is constantly strategizing on how to positively impact every patient that walks through a dentist’s doors.
When you’re providing orthodontic options to dentists globally – and delivering education that gives them the clinical confidence to provide orthodontic services at their own practices —you need to be prepared to roll up some sleeves and get the job done with a smile on your face and a collective goal in mind – growing the business and the business of your clients.
At orthobrain, we have high expectations in ourselves, because we believe in growth. Growth in dental practices around the globe. Growth in confidence – both in dentists and their patients. Growth in the strong partnerships we develop. And growth in our very own orthobrain team.
And our growth is a result of our three core values:
- Support – Be in service to others.
- Collaboration – Outcomes are always better in a partnership.
- Impact – We know how important a perfect, healthy smile is in people’s lives and we’re driven to deliver it
As I reflect upon those three values, I think some of my colleagues – who have recently spoken about our values and incorporate them in the work they do daily – say it best:
- Dr. Zack Lawrence, Director of Clinical Orthodontics. As a digital orthodontics specialist, Zack lives and breathes support. He says, “Exposure to orthobrain’s positive environment has provided a great example of how a team can climb and achieve greater accomplishments when everyone has mutual core values and is striving towards a common goal. As I build my dental team to care for my patients I strive to add new team members that embody those same core values. As ortho-dentists we have the ability to change lives with the treatments we provide. It’s important to surround yourself with team members that recognize that as well.
- Tammy Staiger, Senior Education Developer said, “I love having the support and collaboration from my team as we develop quality programming for doctors and team members. By meeting regularly, sharing resources, and brainstorming ideas, we are able to create successful programs to impact our partnering doctors, teams, and the patients they serve. One of my greatest desires is to make a positive and lasting impact on those around me. As the Senior Education Developer, I believe creating quality programs will in turn influence dental teams to make a positive impact on their patients.
As our business continues to grow, we’ll be looking to add the best and brightest, also looking to revolutionize the orthodontic industry while reinvigorating dental practices around the globe.
Two orthobrain executives to help empower women in dentistry through mentorship, empowerment, and networking opportunities.
Cleveland, OH, August 27, 2021– orthobrain® – an Ohio-based, dental practice growth system with a total solution that makes integrating orthodontics easy and profitable, has announced its industry partnership with Women in DSO, the official nonprofit organization supporting the empowerment and growth of women leaders in Dental Service Organizations (DSO’s).
Kimberly Harrington, orthobrain Executive Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer, will serve as a board member while Kate Groenhagen, orthobrain Vice President of Business Development, will be leading committees for the organization.

How orthobrain produces growth opportunities for dentists.
At orthobrain®, our goal is simple – to provide dental practice growth to our dentists, all while empowering the confidence of the human smile.
So, why in an industry that strives on delivering smiles, are there too few orthodontists to meet the demand for delivering beautiful smiles?
That’s the issue orthobrain is solving. There is a gap between need and solution in the orthodontics industry that can be fixed with the help of digital workflows and dentists.
For dentists who want to build the lifestyle and the practice of their dreams, increase their profits, and improve patient outcomes, orthobrain is the proven dental practice growth system that makes integrating orthodontics easy and profitable, because only orthobrain combines digital technology, learning systems and the expertise of orthodontists into a total solution that delivers a comprehensive playbook, increases patient acquisition and improves outcomes and digital workflow integration.
How does it work?
So, you’re a dentist. Your patient needs orthodontic treatment: say aligner setups or ready-to-bond braces trays. You ask yourself: Do I refer my patient to a specialist or can I treat them myself? With orthobrain’s total solution Perfect Patient Selection, the guessing game is gone. It’s simple: you submit the initial patient assessment, including the patient’s history, photographs, x-rays and treatment goals.
With this info, orthobrain’s expert team of orthodontists puts together a comprehensive report including treatment options, estimated time, and predictability. You’ll know if the patient can be predictably treated by you. And if you can treat them, orthobrain delivers a step-by-step treatment plan and continues to support you with its ongoing concierge service.
Additionally, orthobrain offers hands-on, in-person seminars and online trainings. The hands-on seminar is one day of clinical and practice-building skills. The seminar gives a breakdown of the treatment of patients, and the profit opportunities and continued practice growth you can expect.
The outcome:
Orthobrain makes orthodontic care – and beautiful smiles – available to patients everywhere at a scale never before possible.
By using orthobrain’s services – from acquisition through treatment – you will gain confidence in orthodontic procedures that results in growth, both in clinical accomplishments and practice scale, allowing you to shape your lifestyle the way you want.
Most patients prefer to receive care from a professional they already know and trust. And with the ability to say yes to more cases, you’ll be able to serve them more effectively. Through the orthobrain total solution, orthodontists and dentists are able to work together to share expertise and to increase patient acquisition and improve outcomes and digital workflow integration, bringing more smiles and better health to more patients.
Perhaps best of all: You will have the assurance of knowing that a team of experienced orthodontists are behind you. And that should make your patients smile.
As a start-up in the orthodontics industry, orthobrain® continues to make a veteran presence in its achievements. The most recent accolade is being recognized as the Most Accessible Orthodontic Care Provider – Ohio by GHP Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards 2021.

Cleveland, OH, August 19, 2021– orthobrain® – an Ohio-based, dental practice growth system with a total solution that makes integrating orthodontics easy and profitable, has partnered with eXceed, a provider of in-office aligner solutions, to provide a holistic set of education and product offerings to the orthodontic industry. The collaboration combines the advantages of both companies into a one-stop opportunity to receive better aligner accessibility while learning how to grow practices.
“Both companies bring to the table a very specific skill set,” said Nir Danai, co-founder of eXceed. “We complement each other. Together, we provide the full spectrum for dentists in terms of manufacturing high-quality aligners in-house and then, the best methods to establish aligners as a major revenue-generator for the office. We are sharing confidence-building education, providing products for patients to consider and GPs to offer, and we’re establishing long-term strategy to build future growth for practices.”
“We’re doing something that hasn’t been done effectively yet in this industry – a partnership that allows dentists to operate more efficiently with a highly-profitable procedure that can become a profit center for them,” said Dr. Dan German, founder of orthobrain®. “What eXceed does falls right in line with our orthodontics simplified mindset at orthobrain®. We share a common vision in providing opportunities for dentists and their patients. We’re joining forces and utilizing one another’s proficiency in this field.”
With aligners’ business growth being one of the focal points for the partnership, the two companies have announced a series of webinars – eXceed Business Growth Seminar, powered by orthobrain®. Hosted by orthobrain’s Keith Nicholson DDS MS, the sessions will cover key aspects and best practices for successfully offering aligners in the dental office. The first of six webinars kick off on September 16 on Webinar Jam.
“From growing business with existing patients to gaining new ones to creating winning teams and reducing turnover, we want these seminars to be a catalyst for what this collaboration can be for our customers, prospects, and their patients,” Danai said.
With access to in-office aligners through eXceed’s portal, and practice growth and GP development strengths of orthobrain®, the partnership will build momentum throughout the industry while giving the confidence to GP’s to offer services that can improve lives of every patient who comes in for an appointment.
