Facebook Ads for Orthodontists: The Untold Secret to Selling Smiles & Scaling Profits

Okay, ortho rockstars…
If you’ve been running Facebook ads for orthodontists and getting clicks but not consults — this one’s for you.

Let’s face it — most ortho ads are boring.
Some outdated coupon graphic like:
“$500 OFF BRACES!”
Or worse:
“Start Your Smile Journey Today!”

Snooze-fest. No real value. No conversion engine.

Here’s the truth: People don’t drop $5K+ on braces just because of a discount.
They invest when they feel:

✅ Trust
✅ Affordability
✅ Simplicity
✅ Confidence

And that’s exactly what a BoomCloud™-powered membership program delivers.

Today, we’re gonna unpack how to use Facebook ads + membership funnels to book ortho cases on repeat, boost case acceptance, and create predictable monthly recurring revenue (MRR) like a pro.

Let’s go full Dan Kennedy on this thing.


“I Got 80 Leads and Only 2 Consults… What Gives?”

You boost a post.

People click.
They ask questions.
Maybe even schedule.
And then?

Ghosted harder than your Tinder date from 2013.

Here’s the thing: Orthodontics is a high-consideration offer.
It’s NOT like offering a free whitening.

That’s why the old way of “spray and pray” ads no longer works.

Want to sell braces? Invisalign? Ortho retainers?

You need a Facebook ad funnel that meets people where they are — and gives them a reason to commit.

And nothing does that better than offering a low-barrier membership that builds value before they say yes to treatment.


Smart Orthodontic Ads Sell Plans, Not Prices

Don’t sell the $6,000 treatment.
Sell the $39/month membership that makes the $6,000 treatment doable.

Let me explain…

Patients don’t commit to ortho because they’re unsure about:

  • Costs

  • Insurance

  • Trust ‍⚕️

  • Commitment ⏱

BoomCloud™ solves all of that in one shot with a custom ortho membership plan.

Example:

“$39/month Smile Plan” includes:

  • All consults + records

  • 15–20% off ortho treatment

  • No insurance headaches

  • Emergency visits

  • Retainer discounts

They see you as a partner — not a price tag.

And now, your ad is no longer a sales pitch.
It’s an invitation to join something better.


How One Orthodontist Booked $294K in Treatment From a Single Facebook Ad

Let’s talk about Dr. Jen Morales, an orthodontist in Denver.

She was getting leads, sure — but her team was chasing them like a cat with a laser pointer.

They switched up the model.

New strategy:

  • Created a BoomCloud™ ortho membership plan

  • Targeted local families on Facebook with a budget of $1,000/month

  • Headline: “Braces Just Got Affordable — Join Our $39 Smile Plan Today!”

  • CTA: Join the plan → Book your consult

Results in 90 days?

Boom:

  • 143 new members

  • MRR = $5,577

  • 42 consults booked

  • 29 cases closed

  • Treatment revenue = $294,000

  • ARR = $66,924 (just from memberships!)

She now uses her membership funnel to pre-qualify leads and close ortho cases faster — no more chasing.


How to Run Facebook Ads for Orthodontists That Convert Like Crazy

Let’s break down how to do this in 5 steps


✅ Step 1: Build a Killer Membership Plan with BoomCloud™

Keep it simple. Keep it powerful.

Orthodontic Membership Example:

  • $39/month

  • Includes consults, imaging, and retainer touch-ups

  • 15–25% off full ortho treatment

  • Bonus: emergency visits, whitening, swag kit

Pro Tip: Name your plan something fun! (Smile Squad, Brace Yourself Club, The Grin Gang )


✅ Step 2: Craft a Scroll-Stopping Ad with Clear Value

Don’t be vague. Don’t be boring. Don’t be cheap-looking.

Headlines That Work:

  • “No Insurance? No Problem. Braces Now Start at Just $39/mo”

  • “Smile Now, Pay Later. Join Our Ortho Membership Plan”

  • “Families LOVE Our $1/Day Braces Membership!”

Use:

  • Real patient smiles

  • “Before & after” transformations

  • Short video clips of team members explaining the plan

Include emojis. Make it visual. Keep it human.


✅ Step 3: Send Traffic to a Membership Landing Page

Not your website homepage.

Create a funnel-optimized landing page that:

  • Explains the plan

  • Lists benefits

  • Shows testimonials

  • Has one clear CTA: Join the Plan or Book a Consult

  • Powered by BoomCloud™ for seamless sign-up

Mobile-first design. Fast loading. No distractions.


✅ Step 4: Automate Follow-Up to Nurture the Sale

Orthodontics = relationship sale.

Use BoomCloud™ + email + SMS + retargeting:

  • Email 1: “What’s Inside Our $39 Smile Plan”

  • Email 2: “Meet Our Real Patient — Braces Made Easy”

  • Email 3: “Let’s Get You Scheduled — Spots Are Limited!”

Use storytelling. Show social proof. Build trust.

And when they reply? Use a plan-first script, like:

“Let’s walk through your membership benefits and see which treatment fits best.”

It’s frictionless, affordable, and feels like a VIP experience.


✅ Step 5: Retarget Everyone Who Clicked But Didn’t Book

Run retargeting ads like:

  • “Still Thinking About Braces? Your Smile Plan Awaits”

  • “Get 1st Month Free — Ends Friday”

  • “We Held Your Spot, But Not for Long…”

This is where the conversions really kick in.


STATS: Why This Works (and Discount Ads Don’t)

  • Orthodontic patients on membership plans are 2.8x more likely to start treatment

  • BoomCloud™ practices average $25K–$60K/month in MRR

  • Cost per acquisition drops by 40–65% with plan-based ads

  • Average patient retention = 24 months

  • Recurring revenue = Financial safety net for your ad budget

Your Facebook ads shouldn’t just get clicks.
They should build a profitable, patient-funded funnel.


COOL IDEAS TO EXPERIMENT WITH

Targeting Tips:

  • Parents 30–55

  • Teens 13–18 (via parent interests)

  • Self-employed & small biz owners

  • Zip code radius targeting

  • Use lookalike audiences of current members


Offers to Test:

  • First month free

  • $100 off retainers for new members

  • Free whitening pen for joining

  • VIP swag kits (t-shirts, brushes, stickers)


Content Ideas:

  • “Day in the life” of a braces patient

  • Interview with a parent & child patient

  • 15-second reel of the team talking about the Smile Plan

  • Animated breakdown of membership benefits


CASE STUDY: How Dr. Carver Went from “Lead Chaser” to “Consult Closer”

Dr. Jared Carver, ortho specialist in San Diego, ran the typical $500-off braces ads.

Results?

  • Lots of clicks

  • Few bookings

  • Even fewer start cases

  • Low trust, high flake rate

Then he launched a BoomCloud™ plan and rebuilt his funnel:

“Want Straight Teeth? Let’s Make it Easy. Join Our $39 Membership Plan & Save Big on Braces.”

Boom:

  • 312 members in 6 months

  • $12,168 in MRR

  • 38 consults → 31 starts

  • $427,000+ in case revenue

  • ARR = $146,016 from recurring memberships

“Best decision I made in 10 years,” he said.
And he hasn’t run a discount-only ad since.


✊ Facebook Ads Are Just the Start — Memberships Are the Multiplier

Look, Facebook ads aren’t magic.

They’re just the fuel.

The engine is your offer — and if your offer isn’t sticky, exciting, or affordable, your ads will flop.

A BoomCloud™ orthodontic membership makes your ads profitable by:

✅ Giving prospects a reason to say yes
✅ Building loyalty before treatment
✅ Generating predictable revenue
✅ Creating a braces-as-a-service model
✅ Letting you scale without burnout

This isn’t just marketing. It’s modern orthodontics.

And the practices that get this?
Are the ones dominating their zip codes.
