Hey Friends,

I used to think aligner reps were just salespeople until my brother went through Align’s training.

He learned not only about the product but also about dental anatomy and basic biomechanics.

I was impressed honestly lol

The training they get is far more comprehensive than you might expect.

Now, not all reps are created equal—some are hired without going through the full program.

But if you’ve got a territory rep who’s been through the proper training, they’re a valuable resource you can lean on.

They can provide extra guidance and support when you need it.

And of course, if you’re facing challenges with aligners, you can always reach out to me.

Just respond to this email and let me know what you’re struggling with—I’m happy to help or point you in the right direction.

Straight Talk

If you're ready to start clear aligners, the key to success is knowing how to pick the right cases. It all begins with the basics.

The first thing you need to do is look at the molar and canine relationships. Start with Class 1 and Class 2 adults—those are your ideal patients to begin with. They’re straightforward and give you the best chance for predictable, solid outcomes.

Once you've identified the right relationships, the next step is assessing spacing versus crowding. Both are treatable with aligners, but here’s the trick: you want balanced arches with some malocclusion on both the top and bottom. When you get one arch with spacing and the other with crowding, it can get complicated fast. That’s when you know it’s time to refer the case. Stick with the easier setups at first—you’ll thank yourself later.

And as you’re going down the checklist, don’t forget to look at bone levels. This is crucial. Anything with less than 50% bone support? Pass on it. You don’t want to get into a situation where the bone levels can’t support the movement you're planning. It’s about ensuring long-term health, not just straight teeth.

So, if you’re serious about crushing it with clear aligners, start by nailing these steps. The right cases set you up for wins—happy patients, great results, and a practice that thrives.

Ready to level up your clear aligner game? Start with the basics, and you’ll be on your way to mastering this powerful tool.
