How a New Orthodontist Can Own Their Future

Dr. Josh Adcox joins Smile Doctors Off Mute to share the influential experiences and turning points along the way that shaped his unconventional career from aspiring snowboarder in Taylor, Arizona, to Clinical Director of Remote Care for Smile Doctors Orthodontics.  

 

Discover how a chance encounter in undergrad led to a trade between snowboard lessons and “free” braces, sparking Dr. Adcox's interest in and passion for dental care. Whether you’re a resident or a seasoned orthodontist, you’ll walk away from this episode with actionable approaches toward growth and leadership inspired by Dr. Adcox’s own experiences in biomimetic dentistry, partnering with DSOs and OSOs, and even owning his own practice. 

 

Dr. Adcox is a staunch advocate of doing more with less and always putting people first. He discusses how embracing advances in technology can not only improve a practice’s efficiency, production, and profits, but elevate the team culture and patient experience, as well. 

 

Finally, Dr. Adcox advises residents and new graduates to consider their long-term professional and financial goals, identify and dig into their areas of specialty, and seek mentorship within the career path they choose.
