COMPANY:
Phimentum
ABOUT:
Phimentum is making quality orthodontics far more feasible to the 15 million American children in need of braces. Close to 11.5 million children don’t end up with braces, and that’s often because of cost and proximity to an orthodontist. Phimentum addresses both factors with their service, OrthoTx, which gives general dentists what they need to treat these patients safely and confidently. As a result, dentists get a new, high-profit revenue stream and patients save money and time, bringing everyone a nice smile.
