Who We Are
Turning Smiles into Simple Science
At Progressive Orthodontics, we’re passionate about empowering dentists — giving you everything you need so your patients can enjoy healthy, beautiful smiles. From cutting-edge training to premium dental supplies and our innovative ortho simulation software, we equip you with tools built for sustained success.
A Global Community of Progressive Orthodontics Doctors
POS doctors practice on nearly every continent, sharing a common diagnostic language and treatment system. Whether you’re just starting orthodontics or expanding into more complex cases, you’ll be joining a community of peers who are learning, presenting, and growing together.
Why We Exist: Expanding What Dentists Can Do
When our founder, Dr. Don McGann, started his dental journey, there were limited options for general dentists wanting to offer orthodontics in their practice. Rather than accept that status quo, he committed himself to studying and refining orthodontic care.
His dedication sparked a movement: Progressive Orthodontics was born to give every dentist the chance to provide high-quality orthodontics. Today, thanks to decades of innovation, supportive legislation, and a global network of skilled practitioners, many more dentists can confidently treat complex cases — from traditional braces to modern aligners.
Our Promise: Real-World Training, Real Confidence
We don’t believe in shortcuts. Our teaching philosophy is rooted in authenticity.
- Each seminar our instructors will guide you through real cases — including complicated ones — so you graduate ready for anything.
- Every instructor follows the same proven system: a “straight-archwire philosophy,” enhanced with customizable, A.I. technology.
- You’ll master extraction and non-extraction options, treat both children and adults, and seamlessly integrate orthodontics into your general practice.
This isn’t theory — it’s clinical, practical, and built for everyday dentistry.
The Progressive Family & Beyond
Progressive Orthodontics is part of the broader McGann Group network, established to spread high-level dental knowledge worldwide. Over time, we’ve grown into seven unique brands — covering general dentistry, orthodontics, aligner production and more — all working together to support you and your practice.
As a nationally recognized continuing education provider (PACE ID# 208682), Progressive offers you not only training — but lifelong support, tools, and a community that puts quality first.
