The shortage of skilled workers in orthodontics has long become a bitter reality. Qualified dental assistants, experienced practice managers and motivated treatment assistants have become rarer than ever on the job market. Without a functioning team, even the best-organized practice grinds to a halt and treatment capacities remain unused. With systematic staff recruitment, you make your orthodontic practice less dependent on random job applications and actively build the team you need for sustainable growth.
At Lean Orthodontics, you learn proven recruiting strategies specifically tailored to orthodontic practices. The concept goes far beyond traditional job postings and shows you step by step how to position your practice as an attractive employer. Over 1,864 international course participants have already benefited from this concentrated practical knowledge and are successfully implementing the methods in their own practices. In addition to staff recruitment, practice optimization helps you use existing resources more efficiently and systematically reduce staffing bottlenecks in daily operations.
Finally Find the Right Employees for Your Orthodontic Practice
The search for suitable employees begins with a clear idea of who you actually need. Which qualifications are essential for the position and which skills can be developed internally? How does a new person fit in terms of character with the existing team and practice culture? Answering these questions strategically and honestly saves you months of wrong hires and expensive training time with unsuitable candidates.
In coaching, you develop a detailed requirements profile that covers not only professional competencies and work experience but also cultural fit. You learn to conduct interviews in a structured and purposeful manner so that you can recognize within a few minutes whether someone really fits your practice. Dr. Baxmann shares his extensive experience from his own practice group Orthodentix and provides you with concrete interview guides and evaluation forms. Employee productivity in your practice increases automatically and sustainably when the right people with the right attitude come on board from the start.
Why Traditional Job Advertisements Alone Are No Longer Enough Today
Placing a job advertisement and patiently waiting for applications perhaps worked without problems ten years ago. Today you compete with hundreds of other practices in your region for the same few qualified professionals on the market. Those who only wait passively and hope regularly lose to employers who actively and specifically approach potential candidates and present themselves as the first choice early on.
Modern recruiting uses social media channels, professional career networks and personal recommendations from your own team as equal pillars alongside traditional job boards. In coaching, you learn which platforms actually deliver measurable results for dental assistants and orthodontic practice staff and where you are just wasting your valuable budget. At the same time, you build a structured referral program that turns your existing team into active and authentic ambassadors for your practice. Anyone who wants to overcome the shortage of skilled workers in orthodontics needs exactly this well-thought-out mix of methods combining proactive outreach and credible employer branding.
Position Your Orthodontic Practice as an Attractive Employer in the Market
Good employees today have a free choice between numerous offers. They consciously choose practices that offer significantly more than just a competitive salary at the end of the month. Flexible working hours, genuine and tangible appreciation, concrete development opportunities and a harmonious team atmosphere count at least as much today as pure compensation. Your central task as a practice owner is to make precisely these advantages visible and tangible to the outside world.
In coaching, you work intensively on your employer brand and formulate a clear, authentic promise to potential applicants. What makes your practice truly special and unique? Why should someone want to work specifically for you rather than at the competition next door? You answer these crucial questions honestly and communicate the answers consistently and convincingly across all relevant channels. Dr. Baxmann shows you concrete examples from the German-speaking region of how other orthodontic practices have successfully built their employer branding. The Lean Orthodontics concept combines systematic staff recruitment with structured practice management into a well-thought-out and sustainable overall system for long-term success.
