The Digital Orthodontist

Dr. Chris Cetta, host of the Illuminate Orthodontic Podcast, joins Ortho Takes with a take aimed squarely at his own format: the orthodontic podcast is dead. Chris traces the genre from its beginnings with Lance Miller’s Elevate Orthodontics Podcast through the wave of shows that followed, and makes the case that the space has become oversaturated to the point of irrelevance. Viewership is down, options are everywhere, and Chris is convinced the audience has stopped caring.
In this conversation he breaks down the history of orthodontic podcasting, why so many shows have launched and stalled, what’s actually happened to listenership across the profession, and what the decline says about where orthodontic media is heading next.
