Having read more than 100 msgs on this board, didn't see much discussion on the competition.

Who is the largest competitor to OCA? What are they doing right now to attract defecting/dissatisfying doctors to their network? What do they offer that OCA cannot offer (or vice versa)?

There is no competition (in OCA's business model). These exiting doctors became independent.

Apple Orthodontix and OrthoAlliance were (smaller) competitors, but OCA acquired both of them (a big mistake).

OCA raised $200+ million (including that from IPO) to get to its presesnt stage.
