The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger
What does it mean to become an Orthopreneur? Hi there! My name is Dr. Glenn Krieger and I believe that in today’s competitive world, the orthodontic and dental communities should be collaborative. And I've created Orthopreneurs so that we can move towards that goal together. Orthodontists are smart people. You’ve accomplished a lot to get where you are, but chances are you never got a formal education in how to run the most effective and lowest stress practice possible. Don’t sweat it! Because we’ve got your back... Being an Orthopreneur means that you’re a part of a community. A community that brings peers together to become the best clinicians and the best business owners they can be. Becoming an Orthopreneurs means you never ever need to practice alone.

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger
The $3–4M Orthodontic Practice Model That Actually Works l 5MF
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if I told you that a $3–4M practice, 3 days a week, with 45 weeks a year off, is not only doable—but might be easier than the "lean and mean" model everyone’s pushing?
There’s a growing chorus in orthodontics preaching that the only way to be happy is to stay small, keep overhead low, and see fewer patients. But I’m here to tell you—that’s just one lens, and frankly, it might be blinding you to what’s truly possible.
Quotes
“I became an orthodontist, not an ortho assistant. And I delegate most of what I don’t [enjoy], because it doesn’t bring me happiness to clean a chair.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
“You can run a $3 to $4 million practice on three days a week—easily—with 40–45 weeks a year. And you can do it at 50% overhead or lower.”
— Dr. Glenn Krieger
