They promote their practice using their own website which is available on Google. Social media is used commonly to promote themselves by posting photos of patients and clinic. Facebook was most used. Orthodontists believe that 15-20% visit them based on internet popularity.From the patients perspective, they choose orthodontists based on popularity on internet with google search being the most used. They review orthodontists on social media on popular sites such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter. Word of mouth referrals was the most preferred old school method of finding orthodontists based on experience. With vast improvement in digital technology, youngsters prefer to review orthodontists based on digital media reviews as well. The largest discrepancy found between social media sites used by the patients/ parents and orthodontists was with Facebook and Instagram. This opportunity is being vastly ignored by most orthodontic practices and should be considered as a potential marketing tool for current and prospective patients.
