New York, NY — February, 18 2026
OrthoPulse, the leader in FDA-cleared near-infrared (NIR) photobiomodulation technology in orthodontics, today announced a strategic partnership with Premier Orthodontic Practices (POP), a network of private practice orthodontists dedicated to lowering overhead, improving operational and clinical efficiencies, and helping members deliver an exceptional patient experience.
This partnership ensures that every orthodontic patient — regardless of age, case complexity, or treatment modality — has access to the benefits of near-infrared light therapy through OrthoPulse.
Elevating the Standard of Care for All Orthodontic Patients
Orthodontic treatment today demands more than straight teeth. Patients expect comfort, efficiency, and predictable outcomes. OrthoPulse is the only FDA-cleared device in orthodontics utilizing near-infrared photobiomodulation therapy as an adjunct to treatment — supporting:
Enhanced treatment efficiency
Improved predictability of tooth movement
Increased patient comfort
Reduced refinements and mid-course corrections
Whether a patient is in aligners or fixed appliances, a teen or an adult, beginning treatment or managing complex movement — near-infrared therapy delivers measurable clinical benefits.
Through POP’s expansive and growing network of partner practices, this partnership makes OrthoPulse technology broadly accessible across diverse patient populations.
A Strategic Alignment Built on Clinical Excellence
POP empowers private practice orthodontists with operational strength, shared best practices, and forward-thinking clinical tools. The integration of OrthoPulse aligns directly with POP’s commitment to offering the most advanced, evidence-based technologies available.
We are not just expanding distribution — we are raising the standard of orthodontic care,” said Michael Hendricks, Chief Revenue Officer, OrthoPulse – Biolux Technology. “Near-infrared photobiomodulation is not niche. It is universally beneficial. Every orthodontic patient can experience improved efficiency and comfort with OrthoPulse. Partnering with POP accelerates our mission to make this technology accessible to all patients, regardless of age or treatment type.
A Competitive Advantage for Practices and a Clear Win for Patients
In a market where differentiation matters, practices aligned with POP will now have a distinct advantage: the ability to offer the only FDA-cleared NIR therapy in orthodontics as part of routine care.
POP is committed to equipping our practices with meaningful innovation — not trends, but proven clinical advancements,” said Scott Haley, Managing Partner, POP. “OrthoPulse enhances treatment experience and predictability for all patients. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver elevated, patient-first orthodontic care across our network.
Clinical Leadership Perspective
Orthodontists within POP see firsthand the value photobiomodulation brings to modern orthodontics.
Near-infrared therapy has been a very impactful technology that I’ve incorporated into treatment,” said Dr. Dischinger, POP Member. “Patients of all ages benefit — whether it’s improved comfort, smoother aligner progression, or greater confidence in the treatment process. Making OrthoPulse broadly available through POP elevates the experience and outcomes for every patient we serve.
Transforming Orthodontics at Scale
This partnership reflects a shared belief:
Advanced technology should not be optional — it should be accessible.
By combining POP’s infrastructure and clinical leadership with OrthoPulse’s FDA-cleared NIR platform, the organizations are setting a new benchmark for orthodontic care nationwide.
