Orthodontic Paid Advertising
Fill Your Treatment Coordinator’s Schedule with Qualified Starts
Combine the high intent of Google Search with the visual power of Social Media to attract high-value Invisalign and braces patients.
OUR ORTHODONTIC PAID ADS SOLUTION
Skylift’s approach to Paid Advertising is research-first, intent-driven, and measurement-obsessed. Selling orthodontics is different from general dentistry; it is a high-ticket, elective purchase with a longer consideration phase. Relying on just one channel leaves money on the table. We build a full-funnel acquisition ecosystem. We utilize Google Ads to capture immediate demand and Facebook/Instagram Ads to create desire through visual storytelling. We utilize iterative testing and a Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) mindset to ensure your ad spend generates actual case starts, not just clicks.
Here is why our outcome-framed approach works for your practice:
- Dual-Audience Targeting
We run separate funnels for your two key demographics. We target “Moms of Teens” with messaging about confidence and affordability, and “Adults” with messaging about aesthetics, speed, and discretion (Invisalign).
- Competing with DIY & General Dentists
We use ad copy to position you as the Specialist. We highlight your Board Certification and clinical expertise to explain why a patient should choose you over a mail-order aligner company or a general dentist.
- Visual “Before & After” Storytelling
Orthodontics is a visual industry. We utilize Instagram and Facebook ads to showcase stunning transformations, proving your clinical results and stopping the scroll for potential patients.
- The “Digital Fence” Retargeting
Most patients don’t book a $5,000 treatment on the first click. We implement retargeting campaigns that follow visitors from your website to their social feeds, nurturing them with patient testimonials until they are ready to schedule.
- Geographic School-District Targeting
We geofence specific high schools and middle schools to ensure your ads are seen by the families most likely to visit your specific location.
- Cross-Platform Budget Optimization
We monitor performance daily. If Google CPCs spike, we shift budget to high-performing Social audiences to ensure you always get the lowest possible Cost Per Start (CPS).
How Our Process Works
Discovery & Offer Strategy
We analyze your local market and competitors. We determine your "hook"—whether it's a Free Consultation, a match on down-payments, or all-inclusive pricing—to ensure your offer is competitive.
Step 01
Strategy & Creative Development
We design the ad creatives. For Google, we write high-intent text ads. For Social, we design visual ads highlighting lifestyle benefits and results. We set up tracking pixels for accurate measurement. Who is involved: Creative Team and Ad Specialists.
Step 02
Launch & Calibration
We launch campaigns across Google and Meta (Facebook/Instagram). We test different headlines and images to see which specific demographic responds best to which creative.
Step 03
Measure & Optimize
We analyze data to identify winning audiences. We aggressively manage negative keywords to avoid paying for terms like "cheap braces" or "medicaid orthodontist" (unless applicable).
Step 04
Scale & Expand
Once the consult flow is predictable, we look to scale by expanding the target radius, testing TikTok ads for teen engagement, or launching campaigns for new locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions about which plan fits you best? Whether you want to see results from your industry, understand how our guarantees work, or simply talk through your goals — we’re here to help.
What is the difference between Google and Facebook ads for Orthodontists?
Google captures intent (someone searching “Invisalign cost”). Facebook/Instagram creates demand (showing a mom a picture of a happy teen with clear braces). You need both to dominate a market.
Do I need to offer a Free Consult?
It is the industry standard. 90% of orthodontists offer free exams. If you charge for the initial consult, your cost per lead will be significantly higher because users will click the competitor’s “Free” ad instead.
Can we target adults specifically for Invisalign?
Yes. We can target by age (e.g., 25-55) and interests (fitness, weddings, luxury goods) to find adults with the disposable income and desire for aesthetic treatment.
Do you create the images and videos?
Yes. We design the static images and carousels. If you have raw video footage of patient testimonials or office tours, we can edit that into ad-ready formats. Real photos always outperform stock photos in ortho.
How do you handle HIPAA with patient photos?
We are very careful. We never use patient photos without a signed media release form. We focus on showing the “After” results and the happiness of the patient, ensuring full compliance.
What is a good starting budget?
Orthodontics is a competitive, high-ticket niche. We typically recommend a minimum ad spend of $2,000 to $3,000 per month to effectively cover both Google and Social channels in a standard market.
Do I own the data?
Yes. You own your Google Ads account, your Facebook Ad Manager account, and the “Pixel” data gathered on your website. If you leave Skylift, you keep the valuable data we have built.
How do you track actual "Starts"?
We track leads (calls/forms). We rely on your team to match those leads to your practice management software to confirm who actually started treatment. We review this data with you to refine lead quality.
What about "DIY" aligner competition?
We use ad copy to highlight the risks of unmonitored treatment. We position you as the “Doctor-Led” safety choice, which resonates with patients who are skeptical of mail-order dentistry.
What if I want to cancel?
We offer a flexible month-to-month agreement. You can cancel anytime after the first 30 days with written notice. There are no long-term handcuffs.
