Leverage Your Downtime for a Strong Recovery

With a solid start to 2020, orthodontists had every expectation to continue the year on course until an insidious microscopic virus exploded and our world changed in 15 days. Practices are facing the most profound and extreme business challenges imaginable. With mandated or voluntary practice closure, loss of production, employee payroll concerns, and ongoing patient care, the worst conceivable nightmare became a reality. Through all the chaos, we are a resilient group and there is great opportunity to re-engineer systems and re-set the course for a strong recovery.
