Every Door Direct Mail · Orthodontics

    EDDM for orthodontists

    Braces are a family decision with a narrow window. Your mail should concentrate on the neighborhoods where families with kids in the prime orthodontic years actually live.

    Who your mail reaches — and why

    For orthodontics, our advisor targets families with school-age kids — the prime years for braces. We set a higher family-density bar for orthodontics than for general dental, because the buying window is narrower.

    We rank neighborhoods for orthodontics by:

    • •Share of households with school-age kids (higher floor than dental)
    • •Family-household density
    • •Distance from your practice

    Every recommendation comes with a plain-language reason, and you can override it with a different audience in one click.

    See the competition first

    You see how many orthodontic businesses already serve each neighborhood before you commit — open markets are labeled as exactly that.

    Your neighborhoods, exclusively

    One business per neighborhood per category per month — when you book it, no competing orthodontics offer shares those mailboxes that month.

    One all-in price

    From $0.86 per piece down to $0.66 at volume — printing, postage, and delivery included. A typical ~1,000-mailbox neighborhood runs about $1,000. Run your numbers.

    Common questions

    Is direct mail still effective for orthodontists?

    For a high-ticket, locally-decided service like orthodontics, a physical postcard in the right family household outperforms most digital impressions — parents keep it, discuss it, and act on it when the consult conversation comes up.

    What does EDDM cost for an orthodontic practice?

    One flat all-in rate covers printing, postage, and delivery: from $0.86 per piece, dropping to $0.66 at higher volumes. A typical neighborhood of about 1,000 mailboxes runs about $1,000. Try the numbers yourself with our free EDDM cost calculator.

    How is this different from mailing near my office?

    Proximity still matters — but two neighborhoods the same distance away can differ several-fold in families with kids the right age. We rank by that, not just by radius.

    Why not just use the free USPS EDDM tool?

    You can — USPS delivers the mail either way, and we use the same postal rails. But the free tool only shows routes and takes your postage; it won't tell a orthodontics business which neighborhoods are actually worth mailing, print your cards, bundle them to spec, or handle the forms and the post-office drop. That's the work that decides whether the campaign pays off, and it's what our flat rate includes.
