About OrthoNu®
Created by an orthodontist for orthodontists, OrthoNu is recognized as the first company to focus on driving innovation in oral care to support both patient experience and practice efficiencies.
OrthoNu is creating a new category of professional-grade, self-care products for orthodontists to provide to their patients, redefining the orthodontic standard of care as the industry undergoes a seismic shift due to the massive growth in patients of all ages seeking orthodontic treatment.
With an advisory board of industry leaders and partnerships with the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, OrthoNu is committed to advancing the science of oral health, which has a significant role in improving overall health. Patients in orthodontic treatment are in a constant inflammatory state with an ever-changing microbiome, making it critical to maintain comfort and oral hygiene.
The OrthoNu line of self-care orthodontic products focus on emergency care, oral hygiene, oral aesthetics, and oral health, reducing the massive impact of emergency visits and elevating the patient experience.
The fact is, nearly nine in ten patients experience urgent issues during the course of their treatment. Being able to support patients before these events occur will change patient expectations, comfort, and confidence. Our mission is to ensure every orthodontist has access to tools that will enable them to meet the growing needs of patients. You got this!
