Client Success Story
NewSmile™ is a shining example of a bootstrapped startup that has achieved remarkable success with Arbor's support. This direct-to-consumer teeth straightening solution offers an innovative approach to orthodontics, providing high-quality care at a fraction of the cost of traditional braces.
Why NewSmile Chose Arbor
"What sets Arbor apart is their attention to detail and commitment to our success. As a bootstrapped startup entering the competitive direct-to-consumer orthodontics space, we needed more than just a service provider – we needed a strategic partner to grow with us. Arbor has been exactly that.
Their support has allowed us to focus on what we do best: revolutionizing teeth straightening solutions. During onboarding, they were incredibly thoughtful, addressing all our questions with patience and expertise. Their customer success team has been outstanding – always available and genuinely dedicated to helping us transition smoothly from our previous system.
What really sealed the deal for us was that the CFO I work with has deep experience working with growing companies and Arbor's international presence. Their thoughtfulness and expertise in handling intercompany transactions and other complex financial matters have been invaluable as we've expanded our operations.
Arbor truly understands the unique challenges faced by companies like ours, and their support has been crucial to our growth."
