ORA Dental Studio recognized as the #3 Invisalign practice in North America for 2015

July 16, 2015 - PRLog -- ORA^® Dental Studio, Chicago’s leading Invisalign practice, was recently recognized at the Align GP Summit in Las Vegas as one of the top Invisalign providers in all of North America. Each year Align Technology, the inventor of Invisalign clear orthodontic aligners, the high-tech alternative to metal braces, awards the Top 1% status to a very select group of dental practitioners who have reached an exceptional level of Invisalign case experience.

In 2015 ORA^® Dental Studio ranked #3 in terms of overall case experience out of approximately 55,000 Invisalign certified practices, and ranked in the top 20 for both general and orthodontic practices. “Inclusion in the Top 1% indicates that at ORA^® we have made a long-term commitment to integrating Invisalign as the orthodontic and cosmetic standard of care into our minimally invasive treatment philosophy,” said Dr. Mladen Kralj, one of the first Invisalign certified dentists in Chicago in 2003.

With over 2,200 patients treated ORA^® Dental Studio is Chicago’s leading Invisalign provider since 2010, and has consistently been recognized as one of the most experienced Invisalign practices in North America, achieving Top 1% status the past four years. Recognition as a Top 1% Invisalign provider is based on a minimum of 800 historical cases and 200 new cases started each calendar year.

“Our patients can be assured that we have the extensive experience and confidence with Invisalign to help provide them with the best possible and most high-tech orthodontic care available,” added Dr. Goran Kralj. “In fact, we treat a high number of patients with great success who were previously told they were not Invisalign candidates."

Align announced this year’s Top 1% members at the Invisalign GP Summit, held on July 9-11 in Las Vegas at the Aria Resort. The bi-annual event hosted approximately 2,000 dental professionals from around North America, with attendees enjoying presentations from Align executives and clinical team members, as well as lectures by expert Invisalign practitioners from private practices around the country. The most popular topics included the broad range of cases doctors are treating with Invisalign, and latest orthodontic technological advancements, such as the new iTero Element digital impression system.

“Attending this conference helps ensure that ORA^® Dental Studio stays on the leading edge of clear aligner orthodontic protocols, which helps us provide the highest level of patient care,” said Dr. Reggie Thurston. “The Summit also offers me a chance to exchange treatment techniques and ideas with other Invisalign experts.”
