Efficiency is the dentist’s cheat code


Most dentists believe growth comes from doing more complex cases.

That is true for implants. You start with a single tooth, then move to multiple, then full arch cases. But aligners are different. Complexity does not equal growth.

Here is why.

More complexity means more refinements. More refinements means more time. More time means less profitability.

If you want to grow with aligners, you need efficiency, not complexity.

Here are 3 levers to focus on:

  1. Case selection: Do more of the simple, predictable cases. They finish faster, keep patients happy, and build your confidence.
  2. Workflow systems: Stop treating every case like the first one. Create repeatable systems for scans, photos, approvals, and delivery.
  3. Patient communication: Patients do not buy “attachments and refinements.” They buy confidence, convenience, and fewer visits. Keep the message simple.

The bottom line: Growth in aligners does not come from chasing complexity. It comes from making simple cases efficient and scalable.

That is all for today.

If you want to see the exact framework I use to help dentists grow their aligner practice without burning out, I put together a free training:

Stop trying to make your patients decide everything at once.

Most dentists overwhelm their patients by combining two hard decisions:

1️⃣ Is this treatment necessary?
2️⃣ How will I pay for it?

That confusion kills case acceptance.

In this video, I’ll show you the $250 commitment strategy — the same simple method that helped hundreds of dentists boost their “YES” rate without discounting a single case.

I have expanded my team and I am nervous. We are no longer just helping solo docs with aligners. We are now supporting associates at DSOs too. This hits deep for me. I used to be an associate at a DSO with no mentorship and no guidance. I had to find it and build it myself. DSOs have resources. They just struggle to deploy them in a way that actually helps doctors. That is the gap we are filling. Supporting doctors clinically while working with leadership to scale aligners responsibly.

If you have more than one priority, they are not priorities. They are a wishlist. I used to write down 10 or more things I wanted to accomplish every day. By the end of the day, I felt busy. But I did not feel accomplished. Now my list usually has two or three things. That is it. Why? Because I am clearer on my goals. We think we need to be doing all the things. We do not. Being busy is easy. Being productive is harder. hink about it like this. Doing 20 fillings in a day feels busy. Starting...

If you want to grow, you have to say no. Going into 2026, you will need to say no to more things than you say yes to. If clear aligners are not the area of your practice you want to grow, you should not watch my free training. You should not sign up for courses. You should not even be thinking about it. That might sound harsh, but clarity creates speed. If your goal is to improve schedule efficiency, then the only content you should be consuming and implementing is content that helps you do...
