Rebuilding Momentum at Jaeger Orthodontics
The Challenge
In 2021, Jaeger Orthodontics in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, was already known for clinical excellence and patient care. But like many practices emerging from the pandemic era, growth had plateaued.
Production was steady, yet profitability lagged. Marketing felt fragmented, patient inquiries fluctuated, and the digital presence didn’t reflect the practice’s modern, patient-centered identity.
Behind the scenes, the team was working hard but without a unified growth roadmap. As Dr. Tom Jaeger looked ahead, he wanted to rebuild not just volume, but momentum — aligning financial performance, marketing, and patient experience around a shared vision of impact.
- Profit Maximization: Identifying key levers in the practice’s numbers through the Profit Maximizer™ framework, business strategy, and system development.
- Brand & Visibility: Re-introducing Jaeger Orthodontics to the community with authentic messaging about both orthodontic transformation and airway health.
- Systematic Marketing Execution: Deploying a new website, coordinated SEO, Google Ads, and social campaigns supported by data dashboards and monthly coaching reviews.
The Partnership
The Turning Point
Fast-forward to September 2025:
- Organic website sessions rose to 208 — a 41% gain in qualified visitors.
- Google Search clicks grew from 0 to 150, with the practice now ranking for high-intent local terms such as “orthodontist CDA” and “airway orthodontist near me.”
- Paid ads delivered 211 clicks with a conversion cost under $8, generating 57 phone calls from prospective patients.
- Monthly call volume more than doubled, and 29 were first-time
Every ad campaign, social post, and budget review was tied to the same core formula: Visits × Production per Visit × Collection Rate × Net Income = PROFIT.
Patients began seeing the refreshed message everywhere — online, on Google Maps, and in the newly remodeled office. The combination of improved visibility and elevated experience created the perfect flywheel: more awareness → more starts → more momentum.

The Journey
Partnership Begins
In early 2023, Dr. Jaeger partnered with business coach Dr. Greg Grillo and the Method Pro marketing team to create an integrated growth strategy.
Strategic Foundation
Implemented the Profit Maximizer™ framework to identify key levers in practice performance, combined with brand repositioning to highlight both orthodontic transformation and airway health expertise.
Digital Transformation
Launched a new website with coordinated SEO, Google Ads, and social campaigns. Introduced data dashboards for real-time performance tracking and monthly coaching reviews.
Sustainable Growth
Sustainable Growth
By 2024, the practice achieved 156% production increase, expanded team capacity, and established a thriving airway health program that serves patients beyond traditional orthodontics.
The Human Side
Beyond the metrics, the practice rediscovered its purpose. Parents began asking about airway-friendly orthodontics. Adult patients sought cosmetic improvements tied to health benefits. The team grew more confident in presenting treatment because the marketing narrative matched their mission.
“Working with Dr. Grillo and Method Pro gave us direction. We stopped guessing, started tracking, and the results followed.”
The Takeaway
Jaeger Orthodontics’ story proves that sustainable growth in dentistry isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about aligning the numbers, the message, and the mission.
With Method Pro’s data-driven systems and Dr. Grillo’s coaching insight, the practice turned a period of uncertainty into its strongest financial and operational performance to date.
Next Steps
This model now serves as a blueprint for orthodontic and airway-focused practices across the nation. The same playbook — combining business coaching, disciplined marketing, and performance tracking — is helping other clinicians regain confidence in their growth path.
