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.

One of the biggest mistakes I see with aligners is the dentist trying to do everything alone. You run the consult, you talk case acceptance, you scan, you handle the ClinCheck, you deliver trays. No wonder it feels overwhelming. The truth is, if you want aligners to scale in your practice, your team has to own their role in the workflow. Here are 3 ways to make sure that happens: Define the playbook clearly. Confusion kills execution. If your assistant does not know exactly what to say when...

Whenever I got ideas, I used to write them down on paper so I would not forget. Over time, all I had was a bunch of paper with writing on it and very little action. I hoarded them, never throwing them away because they were “good ideas.” But the truth is, I never had a plan to actually do them. At first it was exciting. I felt like I had a bank of ideas ready to go. But it was also overwhelming. I did not know where to start. That is when I realized less is more. You can only execute on one...

When I first started teaching aligners, a lot of people asked me the same question... “Which brand do you use?” They wanted me to say one name. Invisalign. SureSmile. ClearCorrect. OrthoSnap. CandidPro. But the truth is, I do not care about the brand. What matters is the doctor. What matters is the patient. And what matters most is that the case gets started. Most dentists get stuck obsessing over which aligner company is better. They spend months debating marketing claims, lab fees, and...
