A study by the Association for Talent Development, showed that companies regularly investing in employee training see a 24% higher profit margin.

Have your ortho assistants all been through the same training process? Orthodontic assistants play a crucial role in the day-to-day operation of your practice. They provide hands-on care, assist with procedures, and ensure that everything runs smoothly during appointments. But their effectiveness depends heavily on their training. When assistants are well-trained, they are better equipped to support you and provide high-quality care to your patients and have higher job satisfaction, leading to improved patient satisfaction and overall success for your practice. Happier patients means more patient referrals.

**Orthodontic Practice Resource: New Hire Checklist**

Hiring new team members? We've created a resource for you to ensure consistent and professional onboarding.

Most orthodontic offices are looking for ways to reduce the high rates of employee turnover and provide more consistent
training for new hires. Structured, consistent onboarding, combined with reliable, professional training reduces burnout,
increases retention, and accelerates team cohesion. This checklist aims to create an outline for efficient integration of
new team members and set the standard for consistent, role-specific training in your practice. You may modify and
adapt this process as you see fit.

How much is your TC's closure rate costing or producing for your practice?

To calculate: First select a date range. This can be done one day at a time (in fact, we recommend TC’s monitor their closure rate daily), or for your reporting, this can be done with a block of time from a week to several months or longer.

Gathering the numbers: Find the number of same day starts and future starts that were scheduled by the TC during your desired date range, let’s say last week. Then, find the total number of exams your TC completed, followed by the number of patients they presented financials to (new patients and previous observation or no start individuals who are back in to consider treatment). Then, find the number of new patients during the time frame who needed to be placed in observation. And finally, find a number of new patients seen who did not need orthodontic treatment. Add the number of same day and future starts scheduled during the time frame. Then take the total exams and subtract the patients on observation and the “no treatment needed” folks to determine the potential patients who could have been converted.

Calculating: Once you have your total starts and the total patients who could have been converted, divide the total starts by the total number of patients who could have converted. This provides your TC's closure rate for the selected date range.

Not sure if that's good or bad? We have the industry standards in our Academy of Treatment Coordinators course, along with guidelines for new patient consults, ortho basics and same-day start tips!

New look, same expert training from Trapezio.

Branding is a vital consideration for both new and established businesses and orthodontic practices. We’re happy to unveil a more vibrant and fun brand to parallel our engaging training resources.

Here are some things to consider about your brand:

1. Your brand is likely what your customers will encounter first. Will they remember you? Will they know what you're about?

2. Does your brand make sense for your target demographic?

3. Are you using it consistently? You may have a brand, but if it isn't used professionally and consistently you're missing opportunities. Every interaction should reinforce your brand’s voice, values, and promise.

We're so excited to use our updated look to update your team's training and experience!
