Here at WildSmiles, we love to spread the word about our designer approach to orthodontics and help more people have access to fun, healthy, and effective braces. We have been featured in the news, guest starred in podcasts, hosted webinars, and more. Check out our media coverage below!

In this special listener-led episode of The KiDDs Biz Podcast, the tables are turned! Moderated by co-host Davin Bickford, longtime listeners Dr. Incia and her husband/business manager Talib guest-host to interview the ever-transparent Dr. Ashley about building a thriving dual-specialty pediatric–orthodontic practice.

Dr. Ashley gets candid about what really moves the needle in a “pedo-ortho” startup, including:
• How 51% of ortho starts now come from the pediatric side
• Smart staffing, associate compensation, and when to separate expenses
• Why community presence + social beats pricey ads
• PTA partnerships, grassroots tactics, and converting consults efficiently

Whether you’re launching, scaling, or refining systems, this conversation is packed with practical playbooks, lessons learned, and real numbers you can act on.
