Orthodontic Partners

What Orthodontic Partners does

Orthodontic Partners is a private Orthodontic Service Organization (OSO) founded in 2019 by orthodontists Dr. Jamie Reynolds and Dr. Jeff Kozlowski, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The company partners with mid-market orthodontic practices across the United States, providing centralized administrative services — including accounting, HR, marketing, IT, reporting, cash flow management, and benefits — in exchange for service fees. Partner doctors retain clinical autonomy and their practice brand, while gaining access to clinical best-practice playbooks, peer collaboration forums, group purchasing power, and a Clinical Advisory Board staffed by nationally recognized orthodontic experts. There is no proprietary technology platform; the core product is the partnership model and the operational/service infrastructure delivered from its support center.

Direct peers

• US Orthodontic Partners: Orthodontic service organization providing administrative, operational, and clinical support to affiliated practices. Directly comparable on target customer (orthodontist-owner practices), service offering (back-office MSO), and growth-stage trajectory.
• Smile Doctors: Largest U.S. orthodontic service organization, backed by CD&R, with a similar OSO model that partners with orthodontists for administrative support while preserving clinical autonomy. Directly comparable on customer (orthodontist-owner), model (back-office support + clinical collaboration), and end-market (orthodontic group practices).
• Corus Orthodontists: Orthodontic-focused partnership network serving practices across North America with shared services and clinical collaboration. Closest direct peer to OP given its orthodontics-only specialization and partnership (not acquisition) orientation.
• Smile Spot Orthodontics / Smile Spot-affiliated groups: Multi-location orthodontic group practice operating in a service-organization style. Comparable as an orthodontic-only group with administrative centralization, though typically operating owned rather than partnered practices.

Emerging players

• Smile Brands: Multi-specialty dental group providing business support to affiliated practices including orthodontics. Relevant peer for the practice-support model and as a former employer of OP's Regional President (Becky Barnett); smaller scale than top-three DSOs.

Broad incumbents

• Aspen Dental Management: Large DSO supporting affiliated dental practices with non-clinical services. Comparable on the dental practice-support / MSO business model, though orthodontics is not its focus.
• Benevis: Dental support organization (DSO) supporting general dentistry and orthodontic practices with administrative services. Several OP executives (Aldo Benedetto, Becky Barnett) came from Benevis, indicating overlapping service models, though Benevis is broader than orthodontics-only.
• Heartland Dental: Largest U.S. DSO supporting general dentistry practices with non-clinical administrative services. Comparable as a large-scale dental MSO with practice-affiliation model, though not orthodontics-focused and operating at much greater scale.
• Pacific Dental Services: Major DSO providing business and administrative support to dental practices including orthodontics. Comparable on the practice-support service model and enterprise sales motion to doctors, though orthodontics is a small slice of its portfolio.
• American Dental Partners: Multi-specialty dental practice management organization supporting dental and orthodontic groups. Comparable administrative-support / partnership model and was an alumni employer of OP's Regional President of Operations (Kevin Blair).
