Power
Thou shalt have perfectly straight teeth, a pain-free mandibular, and enough space for all your teeth.
In the little section of the dentistry world you inhabit, you're practically a god. Dozens of patients come to you every day, some in pain, some dissatisfied with their appearance. You take their worries away—and not just their awkward overbites. You have definite power over your dental assistants and hygienists, who follow your orders and fetch the different composites you need.
But there are limits to your power. First, a significant majority (seventy-one percent) of OMS's work as shareholders in incorporated practices. Which means all the decisions you make as a practice (how many operation rooms you want, what will you charge for a complex tooth extraction, what color will the carpet be) are joint decisions.
