Orthodontic Practice Advertising

Google Ads for
Orthodontists

Adults researching Invisalign and parents searching for their children's braces are two completely different audiences. We build orthodontic Google Ads campaigns that address both — with separate strategies, ad copy, and landing pages for each.

Every campaign is structured for healthcare policy compliance and tracked to consultation booking — so you always know which treatments your ads are generating and at what cost.

Why Orthodontic Campaigns Need Specialist Management

Healthcare policy compliance, two entirely different patient audiences, and high treatment values make orthodontic Google Ads more complex than a standard local services campaign.

Two Distinct Patient Audiences

Adults researching Invisalign for themselves and parents searching for their child's braces have completely different motivations, search terms, and decision timelines. We run these as entirely separate campaigns with matched messaging for each audience.

Healthcare Policy Compliance

Google's healthcare advertising policies apply to orthodontic practices. Ad copy must avoid unsubstantiated clinical claims, and before-and-after imagery restrictions apply in some formats. Every campaign we run is built within these guidelines from the start.

High Treatment Value, High CPC Tolerance

A full Invisalign or braces case is worth $6,000–$12,000. This means your allowable cost per lead is far higher than most local businesses — we use this to bid competitively on the highest-intent keywords and win the patients your competitors are missing.

Conversion Tracking

Track Every Consultation Booking

We set up conversion tracking that measures what actually matters for an orthodontic practice: consultation bookings. Phone calls, online booking completions, and contact form submissions — all attributed back to the treatment campaign that drove them.

Phone call tracking

Every inbound call attributed to treatment type and keyword, with duration filtering for genuine enquiries.

Online booking completion tracking

If you use an online booking system, completed bookings are tracked as high-value conversion events.

Adult vs. children's patient reporting

Separate conversion data per audience so you can compare Invisalign and children's braces campaign performance.

Common Questions

Can orthodontists advertise on Google Ads?

Yes. Orthodontic practices can advertise on Google Ads under Google's healthcare and medicines policy. Ad copy must comply with clinical claim restrictions, and certain targeting methods are limited. We manage orthodontic campaigns in full policy compliance.

What keywords should orthodontists target in Google Ads?

High-converting keywords include treatment-specific terms like "Invisalign [city]", "braces for adults", "orthodontist near me", and "clear aligners [suburb]". We also target parent-intent searches like "braces for kids [city]" and "children's orthodontist" in separate campaigns.

How do you target both adults and parents of children in orthodontic campaigns?

Adults searching for their own orthodontic treatment use very different terms to parents searching for their children. We separate these into distinct campaigns — adult Invisalign and clear aligner campaigns, and children's braces campaigns — with different ad copy, landing pages, and bids for each audience.

How much does Google Ads management cost for an orthodontic practice?

Extra Large Marketing charges 8% of your monthly ad spend, with a minimum of $750 per month. For orthodontic practices where a full treatment case is worth $6,000–$12,000, a single new patient from ads recovers the management fee within weeks.
