What Are Orthodontic Consultant Services?
If your practice has plateaued and you're not sure what's holding you back, you're not alone. Orthodontic consultant services are specialized business advisory and strategic guidance designed exclusively for orthodontic practices. Unlike general business consultants, orthodontic consultants understand the unique challenges of running a thriving practice, from treatment coordinator training to patient flow improvements and team accountability systems.
Personalized, in-the-trenches solutions are at the core of what we do at Amanda Floyd Consulting. Led by Amanda Floyd and board-certified orthodontist Dr. Ben Fishbein, our team brings direct experience from running a successful orthodontic practice. We don't offer advice from the sidelines. Every system we recommend is one we use daily in our own office, Fishbein Orthodontics.
Our orthodontic consultant services cover every aspect of practice growth:
- Leadership coaching that builds confident doctors and team leaders who take ownership
- Operational systems for patient flow, scheduling bottlenecks, and daily workflows that keep your office running smoothly
- Financial strategies focused on improving profitability while reducing overhead
- Role-specific team development with clear accountability measures
- Treatment coordinator programs that increase case acceptance through proven scripts and processes
What sets orthodontic-specific consulting apart? We speak your language. We understand same-day starts, observation appointments, and the nuances of building relationships with referring dentists. General business advice falls flat in orthodontics.
Benefits of Hiring an Orthodontic Consultant
Working with an orthodontic consultant like Amanda Floyd Consulting creates measurable improvements across your entire practice. The key benefits include increased profitability, smoother daily operations, stronger team performance, better patient experiences, and sustainable long-term success. Here's what you can expect when you partner with our team.
How Can Consulting Improve Your Revenue?
Financial strategies help you identify revenue leaks and fine-tune your fee structures. Your numbers tell a story, and we analyze them to create a clear plan for healthier margins. Many practices discover they're leaving money on the table through inefficient billing processes or underpriced services.
How Smooth Is Your Patient Flow?
From the moment a patient calls to their final debond appointment, every touchpoint matters. The scheduling systems we implement reduce no-shows, improve chair utilization, and keep your day running on time. Practices we've worked with consistently tell us that their teams finally know exactly what to do and when to do it.
How Do You Build Teams That Actually Take Ownership?
High-performing practices don't happen by accident. Through 1-on-1 team member training and leadership coaching, your team develops the skills and confidence to excel in their roles. Clear expectations and accountability systems mean less frustration and better results.
Why Do Patients Notice the Difference?
Patients feel it when a practice runs well. They feel welcomed, informed, and cared for throughout their treatment. Consistency builds trust, and trust generates referrals.
Do Results Last Beyond the Engagement?
Quick fixes fade after a few weeks. That's not what we do. The approach we take creates lasting behavioral change in your team. Systems become part of your practice culture, delivering results long after our time together wraps up. That's the difference between a consultant who visits and a partner who reshapes how you operate from the inside out.
How Our Orthodontic Consultant Services Process Works
Our orthodontic consulting process follows a proven framework that adapts to your practice's specific needs. Here's what working with Amanda Floyd Consulting looks like, whether you're down the street or across the country:
- Practice Assessment
Every engagement begins with a deep dive into your current operations. We evaluate your financials, observe your team in action, and identify the gaps holding you back. This isn't a surface-level observation. We spend time in your office during actual patient days to see how things really work.
- Strategy Development
Based on our assessment, we develop custom playbooks and programs built for your practice. Need treatment coordinator training? Scheduling improvements? Leadership coaching? The game plan we build includes specific steps, and no two practices get the same one. Think of it less like a template and more like a blueprint drawn from what we saw in your office.
- Hands-On Implementation
This is where growth happens. Our team provides on-site or virtual training with your team. We work directly with your treatment coordinators, front desk team, and clinical team to put new systems into practice. We don't just tell you what to do. We show you how to do it. No shortcuts.
- Ongoing Coaching and Accountability
Change takes time, and we stick around for it. Continued support comes through regular huddles, observation sessions, and 1-on-1 team member training. Your team has direct access to our expert consultants, including Amanda Floyd and board-certified orthodontist Dr. Ben Fishbein, who help troubleshoot challenges and celebrate wins along the way.
- Measurable Results
We track key performance indicators throughout our engagement. You'll see exactly how your practice improves in areas like case acceptance rates, scheduling efficiency, and revenue growth. Data drives our decisions and proves our impact.
Is Orthodontic Consulting Right for Your Practice?
Orthodontic consulting is right for your practice if you've hit a growth plateau, struggle with TC conversion rates, face recurring team turnover, or are launching a startup. It also fits practices that simply know they could perform better but can't pinpoint the specific issue. Here's how to tell if it's the right move for you.
An established practice ready to scale
Your practice is successful, but you've hit a ceiling. You know there's room to grow, but you can't pinpoint what's holding you back. Our consultants identify the bottlenecks and create strategies to break through.
Launching a startup?
Starting from scratch is exciting and overwhelming. You need systems, training frameworks, and a growth plan from day one. Startup orthodontic practices that build strong foundations early set themselves up for long-term success.
TC conversion rates falling short
If patients are leaving without starting treatment, there's an opportunity to improve. Our TC-specific training programs address scripts, objection handling, and relationship building to increase case acceptance.
Team turnover draining your energy?
Revolving-door staffing drains your time and resources. Often, the root cause is unclear role expectations and lack of development opportunities. The right culture keeps people around, and we help you build it.
You want strategic, measurable practice improvements
Maybe you can't pinpoint one specific problem, but you know your practice could perform better. Our assessment reveals hidden opportunities and creates a prioritized action plan.
If any of these scenarios resonate, orthodontic consultant services from Amanda Floyd Consulting can help you reach your goals faster than going it alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Consulting
What does an orthodontic consultant do?
An orthodontic consultant analyzes your practice operations, identifies improvement opportunities, and implements strategies for growth. This includes team training, financial fine-tuning, scheduling systems, and leadership coaching. At Amanda Floyd Consulting, we work directly with your team to create lasting change rather than offering textbook advice.
How much does orthodontic consulting cost?
Orthodontic consulting costs vary based on your practice's needs and scope of engagement, with options ranging from private consulting to in-office training programs like fishbein fundamentals and ongoing coaching packages. The real question is return on investment. Most practices see improvements in revenue and efficiency that far exceed their consulting investment. Contact us for a quote tailored to your situation.
How long before I see results from consulting?
Many practices notice improvements within the first few weeks as new systems take hold. Within 90 days, sustainable long-term results typically develop as your team builds new habits and accountability measures become routine. We track metrics throughout so you can see progress in real time.
Can a consultant help with treatment coordinator training?
Yes, and it's one of our core specialties. We provide role-specific playbooks, script training, objection handling techniques, and 1-on-1 coaching. Strong TCs are essential to practice growth, and we help yours become confident closers who build genuine patient relationships.
What is the difference between private consulting and group programs?
Private consulting provides personalized, in-depth guidance built specifically around your practice. Our team conducts assessments, develops custom strategies, and works directly with your team.
