DALLAS, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Smile Doctors, the largest orthodontic support organization (OSO) in the U.S., ended 2024 strong, achieving organic YoY growth, the continued expansion of its Joint Venture model, entry into four new states—South Dakota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania—and an investment into its senior leadership team, positioning the company to continue its industry-leading growth through 2025. The Smile Doctors network of affiliated practices now includes more than 460 locations across 32 states.
