Bentson Copple Patterson & Associates helps you navigate the pivotal points in your orthodontic career
AAO Pre-Conference Seminar: Master Your Practice Transition
Kick off 2026 AAO Annual Session with our Orthodontic Practice & Career Transition Seminar, hosted by Bentson Copple Patterson & Associates. This half day event is designed for orthodontists at every career stage from residents and young doctors looking to purchase a practice, to practice owners planning to add a partner or sell their practice. A panel of valuation and transition experts will cover practice value fundamentals, partnership structures, add-on acquisition, family transitions, and current orthodontic trends. Doctors will gain practical insight into exit strategies, transition timelines, and key considerations for both buyers and sellers. A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase, including limited seats available for orthodontic residents.
