2015 JCO Orthodontic Practice Study, Part 3 Practice Growth and Staff Data
Volume 49 : Number 12 : Page 745 : Dec 2015
In the two previous two installments of this series on the 2015 JCO Orthodontic Practice Study, we examined trends in economics and practice administration since our first survey was conducted in 1981 (Part 1, JCO, October 2015) and factors that seem to be associated with practice success, as reflected in net income and case starts (Part 2, JCO, November 2015). This final part will cover practice growth in case starts and gross income over the two years since the 2013 Study, as well as staff employment patterns, salaries, and benefits. The methodology for this Study, which was the second to be conducted online rather than by mail, was detailed in Part 1. The full tables and questionnaire are available to JCO subscribers in the Online Archive at www.jco-online.com; select the contents for the October 2015 issue and click on the listing for "Complete Tables".
