Corus Orthodontists Announces C$20M Equity Investment from Long-Term Institutional Investors

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corus Orthodontists Inc. (“Corus”), a privately held leading North American orthodontic partnership network, today announced a C$20 million institutional equity investment led by ATB Financial’s Private Equity arm (“ATB PE”) with a co-investment from a prominent Canadian family office.

This inaugural institutional investment marks an important milestone in the evolution of Corus’ partnership model. It is consistent with Corus’ approach to providing progressive equity liquidity to its existing shareholders and further positions Corus to invest in its practices, people, and future Doctor-Partners, all while preserving local clinical leadership and delivering the highest levels of orthodontic services.

“After two years of double-digit organic growth across our network, we believe there remains a meaningful opportunity to further roll out proven initiatives across our existing clinics as we expand in the U.S. and Canada with additional clinics and growth-minded Doctor-Partners,” said Dean Prevost, CEO of Corus. “This investment reinforces our belief that long-term success comes from putting doctors first, supporting great practices and their patients, and growing in a disciplined, sustainable way alongside financial partners who truly understand our unique and differentiated partnership model.”

Corus was deliberate in selecting investors who share its values, long-term partnership mindset, and focus on sustainable value creation. The co-investors are sophisticated institutional investors with strong track records, assets under management in the billions, and independent investment capabilities. Together in this investment, they bring deep expertise in supporting growth-oriented companies and the scale to meaningfully back Corus’ long-term growth and progressive equity strategy.

“Our partnership with Corus is informed by experience from past, crystallized minority healthcare platform investments that delivered strong outcomes. We see similar ingredients for success here—an engaged doctor partnership network, a management team with a proven track record in scaling companies, a clear strategy, and the potential for multiple avenues for growth, whether through disciplined acquisitions or continued organic buildout,” said Jan Cerny, Managing Director with ATB PE.

“The experience and perspective of these two sophisticated institutional investors make them great additions to the Corus growth story,” said Alan Torrie, Board Chair of Corus. “They understand how to help build strong businesses the right way, through disciplined growth, smart investment, and long-term thinking. Just as importantly, they share our belief in a genuine partnership approach through alignment, simplicity, and trust in dealmaking, which has been central to Corus since day one.”

Corus remains firmly committed to its unique partnership approach, ensuring practices retain and build upon local clinical leadership while benefiting from shared expertise, resources, and the strength of the broader partnership network. Corus looks forward to welcoming new Doctor-Partners across Canada and the United States to help shape the future of the orthodontics specialty.
