I think it's safe to say that few orthodontic innovations since the advent of preprogrammed, "straightwire" brackets have had as much impact on the specialty as Invisalign has. Right from the outset, it seemed that there were two opposing camps within orthodontics regarding the future of clear aligners. On one side, there were those who wanted no part of a product they saw as threatening to their livelihood. On the other, there were many who were enthusiastic about the potential of so-called "braceless orthodontics". The ability to move teeth without visible fixed appliances has always had tremendous patient appeal. Indeed, this very appeal had led to the development of lingual braces, removable appliances such as Crozats and positioners, and various sorts of vacuum-formed "aligners". Two decades ago, we were already witnessing a substantial increase in the demand for adult orthodontics. That demand virtually exploded with the advent of Invisalign.

In this issue of JCO, we present the third and final installment of our series on the 2015 JCO Orthodontic Practice Study. It seems fitting, as I write this during the holiday season, to proclaim some glad tidings. The good news is a marked rise in the percentages of practices reporting increases in both case starts and gross income compared to the previous year - even higher than respondents to the 2013 Study had predicted, reaching a level of growth we have not seen since the 2001 Study.
