Strategic brand identity systems
Made with love by Test Monki
Orthodontic branding for practices up against the office down the street, the group across town and a box of aligners in the mail. We make yours the one families remember.
Braces are temporary. The brand shouldn't be.Every orthodontist in your market straightens teeth, offers clear aligners and owns a photo of a teenager laughing at nothing. Parents can't judge clinical skill from a website, so they choose on everything else: the name, the feel of the place, what the neighbor said. That "everything else" is your brand.
Orthodontics is also a referral business and a long relationship. Two years of visits, a whole family of patients, and a dentist nearby deciding whose card to hand out. A practice people remember gets referred. One they don't gets called "the ortho by the grocery store."
We've been branding orthodontic practices since 2009: solo doctors, partnerships, multi-location groups, and orthodontics sharing a roof with pediatric dentistry. A vintage train station. A beach house. A machine shop. A game of Simon Says. A Napa practice that skipped the wine theme on purpose.
Same research every time. Never the same answer.
A referral is just a brand somebody remembered at the right moment.
We profile every orthodontist you compete with, find the position none of them has taken, and build the brand platform on it.
Doctor's name or a brand name? We'll help you decide, then build one that tells a story and survives a trademark search. More on practice names.
The logo, and the language around it: color, type, illustration, secondary marks and patterns, documented so it stays consistent at every location.
From the first consult to the day the braces come off, the brand should show up in things patients keep, wear and post.

Featured orthodontic practices on file. General and pediatric dentistry are on the dental branding page.
Orthodontist branding is the work of making your practice recognizable and preferred before a family ever books a consult: the strategy, the name, the logo, the look, the voice, and the experience in the office. It's what parents are actually comparing when every practice offers the same treatment.
Ahhh, the money question. Fair.
We don't do mystery pricing, and we don't quote before we know what we're building — that would be guessing, and you deserve better than a guess. Engagements start at $10k. A custom brand identity system runs higher: a five-figure investment, built custom every time. Exact numbers come on the very first call.
The longer answer lives in the FAQs.
Start to finish, a custom brand identity runs four to five months, and a website adds to it.

Sometimes. A doctor's name carries reputation. A brand name carries a story and outlives a partnership change. We look at your market, your plans and the trademark register, then tell you which way we'd go and why.
One. Every combined pediatric and orthodontic practice we've branded lives under a single brand, built so the six-year-old and the sixteen-year-old both feel at home in it.
Yes — for the practices we brand. The website carries the same identity system as everything else, so it looks like your practice and not like a template with your logo on it. Have a look.
No — we work with practices around the world. The lab is wherever the video call is. If you can join one, you're local enough.
