Products and services

• Metal Braces Traditional high-quality stainless steel braces using brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues for patients of all ages; includes colorful options popular with younger patients.
• Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces) Tooth-colored or translucent ceramic brackets that blend with natural teeth while providing the strength and precision of metal braces for a more discreet appearance.
• Clear Aligners (Invisalign-style) Nearly invisible, custom-made removable aligner trays that straighten teeth gradually without brackets or wires, offered as a low-profile alternative to traditional braces.
• Invisalign Teen Clear aligner treatment tailored for teenagers with compliance indicators and replacement aligners that address the unique needs of adolescent orthodontic patients.
• Phase 1 Treatment (Early Orthodontics) Early orthodontic intervention for children around age seven, typically lasting 8–12 months, using personalized treatments including braces or appliances to guide jaw and tooth development.
• Phase 2 Treatment Comprehensive orthodontic treatment typically beginning between ages 11–14 once most permanent teeth have emerged, to perfect alignment and bite correction.
• Palatal Expanders Custom orthodontic appliances cemented to the upper jaw that gradually widen the palate by a fraction of a millimeter each day to correct cross-bites and create room for proper tooth alignment.
• Retainers Custom-made retainers worn after active orthodontic treatment to maintain tooth positions and prevent relapse by holding teeth in their corrected alignment.
• Free Initial Consultation Complimentary no-obligation initial orthodontic evaluation including examination, digital scans, X-rays, and discussion of treatment options for prospective patients.
• Virtual Consultation Remote consultation allowing prospective patients to submit photos of their teeth for Dr. Carlson to assess candidacy for orthodontic treatment from their own smartphone.
• In-House Financing Flexible payment plans with variable down payment options and monthly installments, with discounts available for full upfront payment and interest-free in-house financing to make orthodontic treatment accessible.

Broad incumbents

• Heartland Dental: Largest U.S. dental support organization, providing non-clinical support to thousands of dentists including orthodontists. Comparable as a multi-location dental/orthodontic operating platform and potential acquirer of mid-size orthodontic practices.
• Aspen Dental: Large multi-location dental practice network offering comprehensive services including orthodontics. Comparable as a scaled DSO with multi-state operations that competes for both orthodontic patients and acquisition targets.
• Pacific Dental Services: Dental support organization supporting hundreds of practices including orthodontic offerings. Comparable as a large DSO platform that increasingly integrates orthodontic services and could view multi-location ortho practices as acquisition or partnership candidates.
• Western Dental & Orthodontics: Multi-state dental and orthodontic care provider with hundreds of locations, including dedicated orthodontics offerings. Comparable as a large incumbent offering the same all-ages orthodontic menu (braces, clear aligners) at scale.
• Mortenson Dental Partners: Large dental support organization supporting practices across multiple states, with growing orthodontic service offerings. Comparable as a multi-state dental/orthodontic platform that could pursue roll-up of smaller groups.
• Great Expressions Dental Centers: Large multi-location dental services network providing general dentistry and orthodontic care. Comparable as a DSO with orthodontic service lines serving similar patient demographics across multiple geographies.
• Jefferson Dental & Orthodontics: Multi-location dental and orthodontic chain operating across multiple states, offering braces and clear aligners in a DSO model. Comparable given similar all-ages orthodontic offerings in a clinic-network structure.

Direct peers

• Smile Doctors: Largest patient-focused orthodontic DSO in the U.S., operating multi-clinician orthodontic offices across many states. Most directly comparable peer given its orthodontic-only focus and multi-location model that Yellowstone Orthodontics could grow into or be acquired by.

Emerging players

• ALIGNERCO: Direct-to-consumer clear aligner brand selling at-home orthodontic treatment without in-office visits. Comparable as a competing clear-aligner channel that targets the same patient demand Yellowstone serves, particularly for mild-to-moderate adult cases.
• Tend Dental Studios: Fast-growing modern dental platform offering orthodontics alongside general dentistry in an upscale, patient-experience-led model. Comparable as a contemporary operator with strong consumer brand focus and digital-first patient experience.
