Your direct benefits of being a member of our group

1. Be on the leading edge of the Appliance Therapy “Revolution” in dentistry!
As a member of the Appliance Therapy Practitioner’s Association, you will be kept ahead of your non-member peers on all new developments in Appliance Therapy technology, techniques, and practice building marketing materials.

2. You will be part of our extensive system of patient referrals.
The Appliance Therapy Group is spending substantial resources on consumer targeted public relations to generate potential patients through health magazines, radio and TV talk shows, and internet information access about the many benefits of our specialized dental services. As a member, you will be first on our referral list for these new potential clients.

In addition, we will be able to link your practice web site to ours so potential patients can find you directly over the internet. These patients, who already are sold on some aspect of appliance therapy, will be able to locate a member dentist in their area just by typing in their zip code.

3. Extensive educational opportunities:
From our quarterly newsletters, national study clubs, Appliance Therapy web site and chat room, world-wide courses, independent study programs, to our annual weekend resort meeting and seminar, you will have the specialized opportunities you need to expand your skills and master Appliance Therapy’s many unique treatment possibilities.

4. The Recognition you deserve.
Let your patients know you do appliance therapy. You will be proud to hang our beautiful Membership Plaque in a place of prominence in your practice. 

In addition, you may elect to pursue the extra rewards of our Mastership – Fellowship programs. You will receive special acknowledgment at all of our courses as a member of our association and be a source of inspiration to other like minded dentists as a testament to the many benefits of our way of doing dentistry.

5. Some of the many financial rewards:
Besides the obvious benefits Appliance Therapy adds to you practice income, companies in our group provide our members with many discounts and special services only available through our association. Discounts on Success Essential’s products, equipment, supplies; SMILE Foundation’s courses, 2nd Opinion treatment planning services, selected Space Maintainer’s appliances, are only the beginning of the extensive collection of advantages that are yours for joining.

6. Satisfaction that goes way beyond the feeling of belonging.
Our group benefits you in many ways – it’s just fun to belong to a group of like-minded dentists who are a cut above the pack. Sure, you’ll be joining a group who’s members own the top 10% grossing practices in dentistry but our members want more from their profession than just a big payday at the end of the week. 

This is an association that gives back. All Group member companies contribute a portion of their profits to our Appliance Therapy Scholarship Fund. As a member, you will be helping us distribute Appliance Therapy scholarships to graduating dental students just starting out in the real world of private practice. 

You’ll also be able to tap into an impressive pool of financial resources that are being set aside by the Appliance Therapy Group. Some of this money will be used to advance the cause of appliance therapy with research and new appliance development grants. 

The rest will be used to provide interceptive orthodontic patient care to help our members help kids that can’t afford even the most basic space maintenance and minor tooth movement corrections. With our support, these children will get the treatment they need at an early age to prevent many serious orthodontic problems.
